Dogs liked it

I can only go by how the dogs liked it; they liked it. It wasn’t a brand used for very long so I can’t say how it affected their coat or health.

I recently did an allergy panel on my pup and found he has sensitivities to many of the common ingredients in MOST kibble. Did you know that some kibble has tomato in it? I never thought to look until I had to. Anyway, ARCANA’s chicken and barley recipe is one of the only kibble selections I found that is completely free of all of the ingredients my dog is sensitive to. Over the past month his gut health has noticeably improved.

Best Dog Food

This is the one dog food that our Cocker Spaniel loves to eat. She has sensitive skin and her skin and coat do much better when we give her this selection.

I have a 3 year old 15lb shihtzu/bichon mix. She has been very picky since the day I got her! I switched to Acana about 2 months ago. I buy this bag of food and mix it with the acana wet pate dog food I rotate between the chicken and duck and BOY does my dog love it! She eats twice a day now and gets excited to eat. I was worried about the kibble size being two large but it works for her! Her stool has been consistent no issues with upset stomach. I will keep buying this food!

My 9 month old loves this stuff. Tried to gradually wean him off Science diet low fat, didn't work mixed with SD and he picked every piece out and left the SD! Would not touch the other SD again, but never got the poopies or stomach problems from the abrupt change!

Winnie loves this “stew”!

9 year old rescue beagle with poor teeth gets 1/2 c acana, 1/2 can Blue small breed chicken mixed with 1 c hot water twice a day per the rescue vet’s recommendation

9 year old rescue beagle with poor teeth gets 1/2 c acana, 1/2 can Blue small breed chicken mixed with 1 c hot water twice a day per the rescue vet’s recommendation. She’s a poor water drinker and that’s how she gets her hydration, even though there’s always fresh water available. Her elimination is normal, neither loose nor constipated. She takes it eagerly.

Caused my dog to get bloody stool. I asked to exchange for the salmon acana food and then the person ordered it for me and I could have gotten it cheaper with auto ship but wasn't given that option. So now I spent more money and my dog is suffering.
