AC, please don’t take a chance on Origen or Acana, whether you believe you need specific detailed information from Clean Label or not. The testimonies of those who have had terribly sick, even losing their dogs, can be enough when there are other quality dog foods available. Please compare what Dog Food Advisor recommends WITH Clean Label and make a wisdom decision yourself even over and above opinions of others. As stated, we lost our precious Sheltie so nothing is worth going against your heart instincts and personal gathered insights. When she was dying I also asked in prayer for wisdom. Also as stated by many, even vets don’t always know and some can even advise their “prescription food”, which can be literally full of road kill in many cases. Many vets just aren’t trained regarding food issues or other ways to treat disease, just dispense drugs like our human Drs do. It takes a special vet, perhaps a holistic one in your area, that can be well informed of all these matters to help you. I now have a new Sheltie that also has special issues (we call her our “rescue” even though gotten from a breeder) and I thank God for our new vet. Our first visit there was a full hour getting background on her, clear understanding of her daily habits and issues of concerns, gave great suggestions on how to help her, not just drugs. Even assigned a special mild mannered and patient tech to do her first nail clipping. Amazing experience that was best for our girl because things like stress, poor training/handling, lack of socialization, etc. can also make dogs literally sick. Thanks for listening and best wishes in the times ahead.
