Sorry forgot to ask up to what age can the Nutrisource small breed puppy be fed?

Thank you all so much. I went for Acana because it is supposed to be one of the best but honestly I am dissapointed also by their customer service they don’t respond to questions and I am still waiting!!!
I wonder if because there are so many fruit and plant and vegetable ingredients it is hard for the tummy to tolerate also.
I am confused about high and low protein what should a dog be having? How high is too high?
I shall definitely look at nutri source that sounds good thank you all for the recommendations.

So I wonder how can Acana be so good if dogs are having such hard dry stools on it?
Would fibre be grain, rice or oats? I know a lot of dog foods have these and I wondered why or if they are just there to bulk a food out? I like the pumpkin cube idea I don’t know if we can get canned pumpkin in the uk but I could cook one and purée it then freeze into ice cubes would that be the way? Also do you defrost the ice cube first?

Hi I don’t know if I can help but my dachshund puppy was sent home from the breeders on Royal Canin and I took one look at the ingredients and decided to change foods. It didn’t know what to switch to and after a lot of research and advice I switched him over a two week period to Acana Puppy & Junior and so far he has been fine on it, he gobbles it down fast and seems to like it. It is a Canadian brand and I liked the natural ingredients, fresh chicken etc he only thing that may cause a prob for your lab could be the oats but it is worth taking a look.
Good luck

Hi thank you for your lovely welcome your Lab looks gorgeous. I didn’t even consider canned food I just thought I woukd have to have tons of cans and I only have a small kitchen and not that much space, which brand would you suggest, is canned considered better than kibble then? I will definitely socialise him well, have booked for puppy training starting end of Feb and have a little bag that I carry him around in now so he can see the sights and smells and meet people 🙂 I will put a pic up as soon as I figure out how to do it. 🙂

Arghhh no I’ve done it wrong I am really confused now have just looked at the chart on the website for Acana I am not sure how to work it out now. If my puppy weighs 4.5 kilos and I have to feed him 4 times a day what amount should I be feeding him of the Acana? I really don’t understand the chart at all! I don’t have a clue what the adult weight will be.

I have just been sitting working out the maths lucky you like maths I am dreadful at it but I have figured a schedule based on boy foods and pups weight so it will go something like this :-
Sun 1 Feb – Thur 5 Feb
20 g Royal Canin
10 g Acana

Fri 6 Feb – Tue 10 Feb
15g Royal Canin
20g Acana

Wed 11 Feb – Sun 15 Feb
7.5 g Royal Canin
30 g Acana

Mon 16 Feb onwards

40 g Acana

I hope it works and he likes he food!!!!!

Hi, C4C glad you like my turn of phrase 🙂 I just think that any dog food with dehydrated poultry protein and animal fats followed closely by fillers like rice and maize gluten just isn’t worth it’s salt! I wondered about keeping him on it for another two weeks or so as he is new and adapting to a new environment but I just want him off the bad and onto the good and start putting good food in his system to give him the best possible start. I like the idea of food rotating but I’m not sure just yet. i think I need to settle him on one food first and then I kind of like the idea of adding things in when he gets older like some fresh chicken, tuna, egg, carrot to make it more varied. So I will try to transition to Acana, at the mo he has about 30g four times a day of Royal Canin is I will have to work out how much Acana to put in and how much RC to remove 🙂
