I have my two min poodles on half evo red meat small bites and half acana pacific. I just switched them from 1/2 evo 1/2 orijen. The orijen is good, but maybe too much protein for them. I've got a bag of Acana grasslands coming for when the evo runs out.

For those of you who don't like feeding the higher protein kibbles...Acana or Taste of the Wild are very good substitutes!

Its grain free the ingredients are high quality Its a great food! Great choice!:biggrin:

My goldens have done very very well on the Acana Prairie. It does have a more moderate protein level than EVO or Orijen, but is still grain free. Made by the same people who make Orijen. I haven't found it in the Dallas area but have ordered from Paws Choice and gotten free shipping ( for any order over $50.) Prices were good too.

Looks like a very good food, especially for those that want a decent protein level in a grain free food without getting the real high protein foods. Some dogs that have trouble with the real high protein foods would probably do better on this.
