Acana has lower protein % compared to Orijen and probably more suitable for dogs who can't take high protein diet but still would like a quality kibble. Also its hard to do a direct comparison as Acana and Orijen has slightly different ingredients.
If you compare 6fish and Pacifica (both primarily fish based kibble), the fish content is different =)

am using NUTRISOURCE Lamb Meal & Rice and one more NUTRISOURCE Pure Vita Salmon & Potato... my 2.5 years old mini pinscher just likes it.. protien is 26% Fat 14% Carb 50%

so far i think for PRICE , AFFORDABILITY, QUALITY ...nutrisource is one of the better choices in market...Nutrisource rated 4/5 stars in Dogfoodadvisor.com

my 2 month boston terrier is having EAGLE PACK PUPPY ....stool abit soft but she eat all the food like no tomorrow... lol
but Eagle Pack bit pricey.. Eagle pack rated the same 4/5 stars but price is bit high..

so i dont think i will feed them with acana, orijen, or canidae that cost too much higher for my budget

i start cooking my own dog food... using

1. Organic Barley ( rough blend )
2. Organic brown rice
3. Flaxseed ( blend raw till broken ) can buy at jusco
4. Ground Beef * can use ground lamb or chicken even turkey
5. Minced Carrot, Green Pea
6. Local Spinach with stems ( chop )

Boil 1-4 together about 10 mins, add item 5 and continue to cook for 5 minutes , lastly add item 6 and continue stirring for 2 minutes

Cool on a tray , i use an ice cream scoop to portion and wrap in a cling wrap. Freeze it .

To use, take out , Thaw....ready to eat.

5 star dog meal...my mini pinscher eat happily now. Used to worry for her food as she dont like dog food.

Very low cost, and a substitute for alternate meal . I will add some dog biscuit sometimes so she get full nutrient and also giving her multi vits (for dog ) once a week.

I stop giving her those chewy treats as i read the ingredient mostly are wheat flour, and preservatives. Yucks!

can search for more recipes ....mixing pumpkin inside also a good option..to help stool working well..
