FDA DCM Grain-Free Diet Report

We at The Pet Beastro put a lot of background work into the selection of products we provide to you, our customers, to share with the animals we all love. Through science, diligent research, and our knowledge about pet nutrition, we carefully consider every brand we choose to carry at our store. In light of the recent concerns related to DCM and media articles of various regulatory reports, we reached out to the five brands we carry at our store for their feedback on how this issue relates to their specific products. We want to share this information with you in the spirit of knowledge and complete transparency. 

The Acana Philosophy

The Acana Philosophy

Acana meat-based pet foods support their Biologically Appropriate™ concept—that the food your pet eats should mirror the quantity, freshness, and variety of meats that nature-evolved dogs and cats eat. Made with fresh ingredients from local farmers and ranchers, they feature cage-free poultry, nest-laid eggs, ranch-raised meats, and wild-caught fish. And don't leave out the fruits and vegetables—although they do leave out the high-glycemic carbohydrates, vegetable proteins, and synthetic additives.
