Anyone use Acana Dog Food? Like it or not? Would like some feedback before I try it with my guys. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

We've used Acana & Orijen for years & LOVE it as do the dogs! JMHO

What would make one choose Orijen over Acana?
I understand that they are made by the same company?
I like what I read about Orijen also.
So, if you have pups and older labs, what do you choose and why? Thanks for your input.

Yes, I have fed for a good 5 years, and I love it. Dogs don't complain either.

I found that Orijen was too high-test for my gang - could never get solid poops. Acana has a slightly lower percentage of protein and my dogs do very well on it. Get nice coats. I like that all the varieties contain several different protein sources.

My dogs did better on Acana than Orijen. I like Acana very much. But my dog food place had trouble getting it. Most of the time he would have it but just not consistent.

My boys love Acana Pacifica.. I buy two/three bags at a time.. Had trouble getting it once only..

Has anyone used the Arcana as Puppy Food?

Acana is a great food and manufacturer is reliable. Orijen made by the same company can sometimes be too rich for our Labradors. I sell a lot of the Acana here and everyone loves it.

I switched to Acana Wild Prairie which is a combo of chicken and fish about 1 1/2 years ago after the ProPlan dredded shredded dilemma. My dogs all do great on it from the 5 month old to the 13 1/2 year old!! The Acana's ratio is about 33% protein/18% fat vs Orijen which is about 42% protein/20% fat I think. So far I have raised my puppies on ProPlan Puppy and I switch my keepers to Acana at around 4 months old. Acana is an All Life Stages dog food.

We fed Acana briefly, Origen too high protein for my crew, the Acana, too high calorie, they could have 1/2 a cup twice a day or they gain weight

I can't tell a labrador that 1/2 a cup twice a day is all you can eat. it would like handing me 3 saltine and saying get over it...

so i moved them to dick van patten fish and sweet potato

I just had a litter on Acana, which is what I had been feeding mom. Unfortunately as I wrote above, for some reason the place I get food couldn't get it for a while. I had to switch my whole pack to something else. So, I only had them on it until they were about 12 weeks old. They were doing great. I won't hesitate to switch back to it and use it for pups in the future as I think the supply issue has been solved. But I don't have any long term results to share. Since it is rated for all life stages, it basically is a puppy food anyway.
