Acana which one....Classics or Regionals?

By the way, has anyone else noticed that Champion changed their Acana Regional formulas in June? And I don't think it was for the better... given the recent takeover by Bedford I'm nervous.

I'm not aware of any significant formula changes and my dogs haven't had any problems with Acana.

If you have concerns this should be brought up in a thread of its own, not within this thread. I'll repost the following in its own thread:

But my understanding is that Champion was not taken over by Bedford in the way that TOTW was bought by Proctor and Gamble. Bedford is an investment firm that is helping to manage Champion.

I lifted this post left by a rep at Champion on a german shepard forum.

Hi Everyone,

We here at Champion value the trust we have gained from our customers by being completely open and transparent, and appreciate all the concerns and comments about our business practices - we have pets too and everything we do is linked to their health and well-being. So we know you are truly concerned when you ask about Bedford's involvement in our company.

As noted by Peter our VP of Sales and Marketing, and the son of Champion's founder, "Bedford has skillfully facilitated the succession of our family business from one generation to the next. And, with Bedford’s substantial resources, support and genuine enthusiasm for our products and people, we’re now firmly positioned to continue our rapid growth within pet specialty markets—both here in Canada and abroad.”
Bedford is a Canadian investment company that helps companies grow into the next level of their business. Find out more on their website. Bedford Capital: Overview

And, rest assured Champion's food development, ingredient procurement and manufacturing and testing practices each maintain the high standards set by Peter and his father Reinhard - and, as they have, we continue to seek ways to improve our products to give your beloved cats and dogs the best nourishment and feeding performance possible.

Our mandate is to make Biologically Appropriate dog and cat foods from Fresh Regional Ingredients; which we make exclusively in our award-winning kitchens here in Alberta, Canada - we Never Outsource, nor do we manufacture foods for other companies.

I hope this adds some clarity to your questions. Always feel free to contact us through either the ACANA or ORIJEN websites, or by emailing social@championpetfoods.com
