🐶 Just a Little Win from This Morning ☀️

This morning, my dog Max did something that made me smile:
he actually wagged his tail before breakfast. Not because he wanted to go out,
but because he was genuinely excited about his food.

Ever since we switched to ACANA Classics Beef & Barley, I've noticed little changes like that. Nothing dramatic — just small, happy signals.
He finishes his bowl, doesn’t leave a trail of crumbs, and most importantly, his digestion seems calmer. No gurgling, no grass-eating, no sad puppy eyes.

🌾 Why we switched

Honestly? It started with a vet tech’s offhand comment:
“If your dog’s not food-driven, maybe it’s the food.”
That made me pause. I had always assumed Max was just a picky eater.

So we tried something different: a formula with beef as the first ingredient, and no weird fillers.
The fact that barley is the main grain also gave me some peace of mind —
I’d been reading about gentle grains vs. grain-free trends, and this felt like a middle ground.

🐕 How it's going

What I like most is that Max actually seems interested in eating now.
Not scarfing, but not ignoring either. Just... engaged.

And while I’m not one to obsess over kibble shape or sheen,
his coat has definitely been softer and his breath a little less funky lately. (Which is a win.)

🛒 We grabbed the 22.5lb bag because... why not?

It’s a bit of a commitment, sure. But it’s also less annoying than running out every three weeks.
If you’ve got a medium or large dog — or a picky eater who might finally find “their thing” —
this formula might be worth a try.

No promotions here. Just something that worked for us, and maybe it’ll help someone else browsing late at night like I was.
