Zachary's Mom Donating Member | Acana dog food changing Just a heads up....ACANA is changing it's formula and the new product is replacing the old one. The only food I have found that all SIX of my guys will eat is an ACANA food. Now they are changing it. So, if you want to stock up, do it NOW!! The old one is selling out quickly. I don't usually buy 30 pounds of dog food but I did this time. Louise |

| Yeah, I heard not too long ago that they changed the formula slightly. I also heard the bags will be slightly smaller, the same size as their singles line.

| I have never fed Acana but from what I have read it is one of the better dry foods. What are they changing that is making such a big difference? |

| Yeah... the new bag of Wild Prairie I bought gave Riley little dark dry patches on his tummy. I switched to CANINE CAVIAR and they are disappearing!! I Loved ACANA, but he is actually Loving the Canine Caviar and doing even better on it!! He literally screetches when I dig into the bag and put it in his bowl. He has Never done that on Any Kibble!! I should post video of him doing it!! We are feeding the Wild Ocean right now!! Wild Ocean Grain Free ALS Dinner |

| i was also feeding acana. my oscar did so well on it. with the last bag i noticed he was itching a lot. he never had an itchy problem before.. i don't understand why they changed the formula. oscar is now eating blue buffalo wilderness duck recipe. he is doing great . The itching seems to be subsiding. no digestive issues like he has with raw diet. thank goodness he is not a picky eater. he will eat anything i put in his bowl. |

| I don't know what raw you feed but check for seeds like sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Some dogs get loose stools from these. I really like the ingredient list in Primal but the seeds don't agree with Gracie. |

For the raw food i sometimes feed nv. I only buy the trial size bags. I am just going to go with the bb for now. He is doing really well on it. He doesnt really need the raw . I basically just used it for variety.. | |

| Maybe yall who had problems with the itching could type or write a letter to Acana and let them know you liked the old food better and that the new food is making your dogs itch. If they get enough emails or letters they might could change back. They may have no idea its causing itching.

| I agree with Taylor (For once , JK) we should write them a letter!! I am upset with them, I know it is not only Peanut now, it is Ry, Oscar... and I am sure many more! Peanut was doing so well on Acana! Damn them~!!
