I feed Acana to my working dogs. We call it the "Mushers' Red" bag up here, but I think it's actually the extreme performance formula. They package it differently when you buy it by the tonne!

The dogs have done extremely well on it, even the hard keepers eat it and maintain their weight. I do have to feed more to Ozzy and Pacer--they both drop weight just by breathing hard!

A good friend of mine is an I-rod musher. She feeds Eagle Pack and her sibes thrive on it.
