Acana?
As I stated in my last post, I'm currently searching for a new dog food for Mr. picky (1 y/o ACD/BC x with grain allergies and a sensitive tummy). I came across Acana online, and provided that someone around here sells it, I am considering trying it for the pup. Does it have a good reputation? The...

Travelling with RAW?
My friend is taking her dog (standard poodle) on their boat for for 6 weeks. She feeds Raw and is looking to source freeze dried (?) raw food. I know the raw feeders here have been there, done that. What products do you recommend? Her dog does not tolerate beef. She is also wondering about bones. Thanks

"Before Grain" experiences?
Hi all. I just purchased Before Grain "buffalo" (a small dry bag to see how my pup reacts to it). I know it's a Merrick brand which will usually make some people wonder about the quality controls, however I'm wondering if people could please tell me how their dogs reacted to it? I was...

The Honest Kitchen, again
I put the girls on THK since we have a teeny tiny frige and not much space for our food, much less their rmbs and such. I am still going to use raw toppers though. Anyway, I figured out that once you add water, the cost of even the most expensive food, Embark, is 1.91 a pound. Down to their most economical...
