My wife and I have recently introduced a new member into our family. He is a beautiful 16 week old brindle male dane puppy. I have done lots of research on diet and foods and I have narrowed my choices of food down to 2. The 2 foods I am trying to decide between are "Innova" and "Eagle Pack". Both are "large and giant breed puppy" hollistic formulas that have the correct protein and fat percentages for proper "slow" growth rate for his first 2 years as well as the correct phosphorous to calcium ratios. Anyone out there have any opinions on these 2 foods. If so, please let me know what you think. Thanks, Chris.

Hey Chris, congrats on the new addition to the family! My business partner actually breeds and shows Great Danes professionally; I've sent him your message and will post his reply when I get it.

Well both brands a great foods. I am feeding the Eagle Pack Natural right now to my 93lb Greyhound and he is doing great on it. The Natural pack is working for his size and breed. If my husband and I had rescued a Great Dane instead of a Greyhound we were looking at Eagle Pack Large & Giant Breed. We just love the ingredients and the company's food making process. They are really anal about their process and if something doesn't quite meet their quality they pull all the food processed that day and make it right. Then in the long run you have to see what will work best for the dog also. We did try a dog food that is made here in Morinville, Alberta, Canada (which is just outside Edmonton where we live) to support our province, called Acana, but our Grey got really bad gas from it and we decided that it just didn't agree with his digestive system and went back to the Eagle.
