It sounds like you've found a good rotation for Jackson!!

I finally feel good about mine, too. I will be feeding NV Instinct (Rabbit/Turkey & Duck), Acana Grasslands, and either Acana Pacifica or Evo Herring and Salmon. Does Jackson like foods with fish? You should try a small bag of the new Evo - my gang went crazy for it.

LOL, okay, that's pretty much how I've been saying it too but I've never really said it outloud much and I'd feel stupid if I called the pet store to see if they had the 5lb bags and said the wrong name!

He did like the Fromm Surf and Turf... I will grab a sample bag of the Evo, they have a bunch of Evo samples at our food store. Oh and the Acana he liked was the Prairie Harvest one and his fav NV is Turkey & Duck!

I really wish we could do chicken! The Prairie Harvest is another great sounding food that I can't feed, same for the Fromm's.

We love it too

Bandit (knock on wood) still hasn't had diarrhea and vomiting and we're on our 3rd 15 pound bag

Which flavor are you feeding?

Anyone can answer... LOL

Mickey's favorite now is Prairie.
Max will eat anything-LOL

BanditSocks2 · 03-29-2010, 06:22 PM

We did one bag of Prairie, then a bag of Grassland, now we're back to the Prairie. They seem to like the Prairie a little bit better.

BonBon · 03-30-2010, 04:13 AM

Has anyone tried the Pacifica? I'd like to get it next.

viviansnickers · 03-30-2010, 04:56 AM

Yayyyy bonbon!! I'm so glad your crew loves this great food. Snickers gobbles his whole plate up every night!!! LOVE IT!! Love the company, love the ingredients, love the quality, love everything about it.

We feed Prairie Acana when I feed chicken raw Primal, and then Grasslands Acana when we feed red meat Primal raw.

I do break up the Acana disks with a nut cracker or my lil Snicky won't eat it. (Spoiled brat!!

)

Also...LOL...I pronouce it A-cah-na

.

Yay!!
Snick & Viv

ps....You all know how psycho I am about Snick's food. I TRULY believe this combo (Primal/Acana) has helped Snick heal so quickly from LP surgery due to amazing ingredients!!!

Mine did not like the Pacifica as much as the Grasslands and Prairie.
AND the poop stunk big time! Did not even finish the bag.

TammyJM · 03-30-2010, 05:41 AM

Oh good! I am glad that they like it...my guys are thriving on it!!

(It's pronounced Ah-can-na).

That's good to know. I'll have to think about that one. Maybe just try a very small bag if I do. Thank you!

I break the food into smaller pieces with nutcracker too. Sandy won't eat if they're not in small pieces or he'll take the whole kibble and hide it in his bed.

Ok. I have a question..

If you have your babies in a rotation, how do you do when switching from one brand to the other? doesn't that upset their stomachs?
I would love to rotate, but those s-l-o-w switches drive me crazy...

It has upset their stomachs when I've done it too fast. Those slow switches used to drive me crazy, but after a few times of doing it I don't even think about it anymore. It's an easy routine for me now. One thing I've found is that the switch is much easier on them with what I consider the better quality, grain free foods.... so I can make the change just a little bit faster than I would otherwise.

Doing it this way is worth it to me. I've seen them get bored with their food, and I don't like that. Rotating keeps them excited about mealtime, and I think it's helped keep me from having picky eaters (the opposite is true for some, I know).

_Chrissy_ · 03-31-2010, 05:47 AM

I wish they would make it into smaller kibble. They already have the machines from the Cat Acana line (grain free) and Cat Orijen line.
Our cat eats both of theses and the size would be good for smaller pup.
No breaking the food for me-LOL
