I almost got the Pacifica b/c he likes Zuke's salmon treats, but was afraid of the stinky breath. He likes Stella & Chewys beef more than the duck, so went with more beefy.

OMG The Pacifica smells soooo bad LOL, Their mouth stinks right after they eat the food- It makes me want to gag!! However it is amazing food, but I don't think I can deal with that smell!!

I guess it's not for dogs with tendency to gas.

Why do you say that?

Jax has never had gas on it personally

His poop is actually way better on the Singles line, than the grain-free! Smaller, firmer, and less frequent!

LOL!! Riley is complete opposite.... bigger... not as firm they have the
consistence of an elephant's poop...[I have seen them at the zoo...] LOL!!
and he is a poop-machine.....

Now I really think he just does better on grain free.

I had asked twice if it could be eaten by gassy dogs & no one answered so I just guessed it might tend to cause gas with dogs who got gas easily.

RileyDC · 06-19-2012, 06:29 PM

I dunno.....

Riley only got gassy on the FROMM chicken a la veg and pork & applesauce, from an intolerance to the grains in it. It was BAD! He could clear a room, other than that, never....

Sry, sometimes posts just get overlooked or people don't have an answer. It's hard to say if a dog will get gas on a certain food or not, but it's not a complaint I've ever read about w/ Acana, nor experienced with my own personal dog.

yorkietalkjilly · 06-19-2012, 07:16 PM

Thanks, ya'll. I may just try that on Tibbe once he is done with his Hill's I/D as part of his treatment for stomach gas/belching/reflux & some episodes of spit-up, one of diarrhea. I understand the vet will want him to go back on regular food eventually. Am considering what to go to.

I responded, I just don't know the answer. What does the vet think causes the gas - the protein, grains, etc? If you knew that you could focus on foods that don't contain those ingredients.

From what I've read on YT, it seems like it depends on the dog as to what's causing the gas. I remember a couple of times my guys would be doing really well on a certain food and someone else would post how their dog suffered horrible gas from the same food. I hope you find a good food that suits Tibbe soon!

The Singles line might be good for your doggie since the duck/pear and lamb/apple formulas have a single protein source and single grain source (if your dog does not have bad reactions to duck/lamb or oats). These formulas are supposed to be good for sensitives tummies.

You might look into getting one of their small trial bags to try out!
