It's DEF smaller than grain-free Acana.

THANK YOU!!!

That's very close to the kibble size they get now....maybe even a touch smaller.

I've talked myself into at least trying it. The kibble size pushed me over the edge.

I called the local store I usually buy their food from and they're going to get me a 5 pound bag of the duck and pear in. If we all like it, they will start carrying the bigger bag for me.

I was just catching up on the Posts in this Thread. You all are cracking me
up. So, I have a confession. When Riley was a pup, I sat and Cut one of
the Small bags of Acana for him....not the 5 pounder, but the small bags
i think they are a little under 1 pound.

I did what you do, Deanna.
I sat and watched tv and cut....cut....cut. I don't have to do that anymore....or
actually maybe i should. LOL!!!! It would definitely be easier for him to
eat that way.

I'm really excited, too!! I told the little ones they'll be getting a new food to try and now they're excited, too. My bag of Duck and Apple should be in either Friday or Saturday.

Can anyone tell me where they purchase the Duck and Pear or the Lamb and Apple from? I saw it on Amazon and it was almost $25 for a 5lb bag. Thanks!

Those shipping charges really add up! I'm getting mine locally at a farm/ag supply store. Did you check Acana's website and see if any stores in your area carried it? If there isn't, you could call a local pet boutique or feed store and see if they would be willing to get in a bag for you to try.

Our local boutique carries it. I know of 2 stores near by me that carry it. I paid $18.99 for a 5lb bag. Like I said, still pricey (their grainfrees are cheaper and .5lbs more). But because it's geared towards the limited ingredient/allergy market, they up the price.

If you want to order online, MrChewy has good prices and free shipping if you spent over $50, I think it is. They also have deals a lot!

Mickey and Max are eating the Duck & Pear now. They love it.
They ate 4 (5lb) bags of the Lamb & Apple before I changed to Duck & Pear.
I only changed for some variety.

They LOVE these 2 flavors.
I think Mickey is having less eye goop on both of these types. Especially the Duck.

Ditto on Mr. Chewys. They have a good price (what I pay here at a store). Shipping seems fair to me. I think it is $5 for less than $50 and then it is free. When you know your dog likes it buy the bigger bag or 3 small ones and it is shipped free.

We started our first bag of the Duck and Pear last Friday and the little ones really seem to like it. It is noticeably larger than the NV kibble they've been eating though, and I think Dolly may struggle with that. Right now I'm only mixing in a small amount with their NV so it's kind of hard to tell which kind of kibble she's picked up to chew on. I'll find a way to test for sure how she manages the Acana....it may be soft enough that her tiny mouth can chew it alright.

I was wondering about you and how the clan likes the food! Get your cutters out for Dolly

Riley's Acana/Pacific was getting low so I emailed a couple of the boutiques near my house that I know carry Acana to see if they had any of the Small Trial size bags of the Duck & Bartlett Pear. The one closest to my house had them, so I picked one up on my way home. Riley seemed to like it. He ate it all right up, plain. It only has one grain, Steel Cut Oats. I hope he does well on it!! I have still been feeding the Nature's Variety premade raw, the organic chicken in the mornings, and he has been doing Awesome!!
