We’re generally pretty big fans of Acana foods, Teresa. Glad you found one that works for your pooch!

However, you left out Acana wholesome grains Duck & Pumpkin. This food is limited ingredient. Only has one protein source. Contains no corn, peas, pea protein wheat or rice. Is 60% meat. It also has wholesome grains. This is the perfect Duck dog food.

Hey, Mae.
A correlation between grain-free diets and DCM has been established, but causality has not yet been determined. We discuss the grain-free issue in greater detail here.
It may very well end up being that peas/legumes are the culprit, but we simply don’t know that yet for certain.

Accordingly, we’ve been recommending that owners avoid grain-free foods unless their dog has a specific grain intolerance (which is pretty rare), and that owners consult with their vet anytime they’re considering switching foods. We’re also changing our recommendations to reflect this, but we’re a small team and that just takes time. Rest assured, this article is on our list to be updated.

We appreciate your comments though.
