My dog does well on both Fromm and Acana and I'm trying to decide between doing both or just Fromm. Any suggestions of which one I should do? Please explain your answer, thanks!

Both Fromm and Acana are excellent companies with excellent quality foods. I don't think anyone will be able to give you a valid reason to use one over the other. What I can recommend is only feeding one at a time since each food is balanced, we can sometimes throw that balance off if feeding a mixed diet. However, I do think it's a great idea to rotate diets occasionally. So, since you know that Chloe does well on both diets, you can feed one for 1-2 months at a time, then rotate to the other one. I think that is a great idea to keep variety in the diet. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
