Acana
 

Who can tell about forage Acana?Whether it is possible for them to feed a Yorkshire Terrier?In fact it a class Premium, instead of Super Premium?
And its structure not bad.:confused:

I'm not familiar with it. Can you list its ingredients? Here's a Web site that tells you how to rate dog foods by ingredients.

Hopefully someone else can give you a more direct answer.

Thanks!

Which type? The premium adult or the puppy?

I am also not sure about this brand...please updatd us!

I followed the scoring advice on that thread I listed on how to rate ingredients, and I came up with 97. Which is good. However, I'm not sure how reputable that rating system is or whether it takes into account the special needs of Yorkies. But I definitely think it's a good food for your dog.

Here's how the scoring worked and what the ingredients are for the adult Acana dog food:

100 points starting score
-5 (same ingredient used twice in first five ingredients (rice)
-3 (less than 2 meats in top 3 ingredients)
-2 (animal fat other than fish oil)
-1 (contains salt)
(* Note: No wheat is good with the wheat gluten scare)
+3 contains fruit
+3 vegetables
+1 oatmeal
+1 glucosamine and chondroitin
97 points
