I'm not so concerned about the pork aspect of this food...many dog foods are available that contain some pork or boar (like Royal Canin, Hill's, Orijen, Farmina, Fromm, etc) and we haven't had any issues feeding these (we of course don't feed anything like sausage or bacon in terms of pork products though).
Haven't seen this formula in stores near me yet. You could get a little sample bag or two from your store and if your pup likes the food and does well on it, go for it. I thought it was great that Acana released a grain-free limited ingredient formula but it does seem pretty high in legumes. I would consider the fact that it has green lentils, red lentils, green peas, yellow peas, and garbanzo beans (a lot of ingredient splitting) so it makes you wonder how much pork is even in there. For that reason, I personally would probably look at other options just because Acana is expensive around here and I can get similar or better options at a cheaper price. |
