Review on Acana Highest Protein Dry Dog Food 🐾 and Crunchy Treats: Grain Free Nutrition for Active Dogs by Brian Wright

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pet food is not "food ". Only give Acana to your dog if you really care.

After reading a lot of dog food literature, it becomes clear that there is a big disconnect between pet food and pet food, and most of what we feed our companions is food and not food. The FDA's pet food recommendations, which cover most of the more than 4,000 pet foods, are shocking to say the least. The acquisition of previously trusted names like Hills, Science Diet, Iams and Blue Buffalo by brand-historic giants to replace cheaper ingredients to boost profits in the multi-billion dollar pet food industry makes it even more difficult. Quality food for your pet. Luckily there is the internet, where you can tell good from bad. At the local level we have a zoo store. They only sell high quality pet food and have knowledgeable and caring staff. It's easy to find quality food there. We have a new puppy and realized that the death of our beloved 10 year old Tucker was likely due to long term use of pet food disguised as food. Some research has convinced me that instead of having 15 or 20 year old pets, 7 to 10 year olds are more likely because of the crap we inadvertently feed them. We live in a consumer-dominated society, so it's not surprising that pet survival is shrinking to boost profits in industries that cheapen and even produce toxic pet foods. Look at "pet food reviews" and then look at the companies that were to blame. Acana has no reviews, uses locally sourced (not Chinese or Indian) meats and veggies (no nightshade). We tried Animal Park's smaller pack and gradually switched our pup to Acana, it was exactly what we expected, due to the higher protein and fat content it takes less time to satisfy him and his bowel movements are smooth firmer and generally less. . At first we wanted to buy Fromm's but the store manager suggested Acana and we're glad we did.
