Acana Finally Comes to my Local Pet Supply Store!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Went shopping for doodle food today, and lo and behold, my favorite, convenient Pet Supplies Plus (to whom I make monthly payments equal to or greater than my real estate taxes) is finally stocking Acana! Whoop-de-doo!

I bought a 5.5 lb bag of their Wild Prairie formula, which is their chicken based grain-free formula. It was $4.00 less than the same sized bag of Orijen Adult, the Orijen fowl-based formula. The reason is, Acana is lower in protein than Orijen, (33% vs 40%) and higher in fiber, (3.5 vs 2.5) the result of there being less animal protein and more fruits & vegetables in the formula. Animal protein is the single most expensive ingredient in anything, so the Orijen-Acana price difference now makes sense to me.

I still have a little of Jack's Orijen left, so he probably won't get the Acana until Wednesday a.m. I can't wait to see what he thinks of it! His inital reaction won't mean much, because like most men, he is very excited by something new but tires of it easily. ;)

Stay tuned for Jackdoodle's review of Acana Wild Prairie, later this week!

Ha, I just wrote a comment about Acana. I ordered the Wild Prairie without realizing it's grain free. We'll see how that goes, I guess.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

We look forward to Calla & Luca's reviews, as well!
Worst case scenario with switching to a grain-free food, a few days looser-than-normal stools. I predict you will be very happy with the results within a week.

Just what I need : ) Oh well, I can always let the poop bake for a day.

If this is any consolation--the Acana makes poor Spud poop in pellets. Sometimes I think it is too dry. Go figure? Deer poop. I'm so confused. This certainly is a first

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Orijen does the same for Jack. It's like perfect malted milk balls.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Oh dear, I think you've been at this too long or maybe we all have.

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Well F. Maybe soon Calla and Lucca can join the Cool Dear Poop Group

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Hee hee- I had the same thought after I posted this and saw how crazy it sounded.

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Cool--Our dogs have such deer deer poop! It was a question I really did not want to put out there. Not at all. But I certainly wondered.

But now, if JD has cool poop, we know we are cool too :)

and............ isn't this weather good for something. Baked poop is as easy to clean up as frozen February poop.

Okay, enough poopy mouth from me

[F, Calla & Luca]

I hate to agree with such craziness but it's true.

lol about Jack being a typical male...I call that syndrome "Oooooh shiny!"
