[nagdu] dog food take #173

[GARY STEEVES]

Hi Julie:

I use a food made in Canada called Acana. It is made from all natural foods and has a variety of flavours. I have just switched Bogart from their lamb, duck/ white fish to their  bison, based food. The protein is the first ingredient. It is a bit pricey. I pay $68 for a large bag. Check it out and see if it is available in the states and meets your needs.
