I feed acana in my rotation and its a great food, but since youre feeding 42% protein now, why not try Orijen 6 fish?
ReplyDeleteI thought about the 6fish, its harder for me to find in a large bag (as I say this, I realize I had to special order the acana!) but the one smaller bag we did buy not too long ago for a temp foster still had "zea mays" in the ingredient list, which I think irritated my female shiba's allergies when we tried 6fish a little over two years ago. Since then I've been weary.
