[NAGDU] Food, allergies, and output

[Danielle Cyclorama]

Some brands you might want to look into are Acana and Origin. I believe they are both made in Canada but it doesn't  look like either one sources ingredients from China. They both offer grain and chicken free varieties and have high meet contents. I never fed either of these brands so I can't speak from personal experience, but they seem to fit the profile I use when looking for foods that agree with my allergy prone dogs.
