Just another one of "these topics" to add to the mix!

I have a dog... And he's a big dog. ;) He actually needs to lose 10lbs (already down a couple!). I had him on Acana's "light" formula and he would barely touch the stuff! Not nearly as good as the previous bag he had: Acana Ranchlands (I believe). Grain free, anyway.

So I put him back on Ranchlands and he LOVES it. Does well on it, too! I think with proper portions, treats cut back & moderate exercise he'll lose te weight just fine. He's a mastiff/lab with maybe some rottie in him. About 125lbs and I'd like to see him at least under 120. He really is quite big! Not fat, just big!!

So, a PetValu just opened down the street. It's beautiful and almost in my backyard. It's so handy! They sell NV but not Champion pet products (maybe they will in the future, who knows).

Down to the point of all this! How do you guys feel about feeding NV Instict to your dogs? I've actually never really read up on it, and am really new to the brand. I used to feed Orijen (too rich & expensive) and mostly ToTW. Stopped ToTW after their recall and starte on the grain-free Acana just "cause". I'm really liking it! A lot! Decent price and seemingly great food! Plus, he loves it.

This turned out to be a much longer message than intended! Apologies!

it was the Prairie Beef Meal & Barley Medley only i feeding the limited turkey right now,feed the duck and turkey a month ago,and the venson about three months all ok

I'm wary of NV right now as a lot of their different kibbles are having a bad smell issue. It's been found in Prairie and Instinct in different flavors. Plus, they just had a recall so I wouldn't feel comfortable with it.

I'd say Acana might be better. I don't like their new formulation though.
