Acana Grasslands for Puppies?
My friend will be fostering a 9-10 week old mix puppy. breed guess at that age is a wild guess, maybe shepherd or lab or something. Anyway there is some debate on food to feed.
Acana grasslands says it's appropriate for all life stages - what do you think? ok for a puppy? Any of the foods in the acana regional lines appropriate?
