Dry · All life stages · Small, Medium, Large

ACANA Wholesome Grains Sea to Stream Recipe is a dry dog food for dogs of any age. The maker lists it for small, medium, large dogs. Salmon heads the ingredient list, so by weight before cooking there is more of it than anything else. The named animal proteins are fish. The label names no corn, wheat or soy. On a dry-matter basis the guaranteed analysis works out at 35.2% protein, 19.3% fat and 34.1% carbohydrate, at 371 kcal per cup. A 20 kg adult dog would eat about 2¾ cups a day of it. Our label-based score puts it at 85 of 100, which we rate excellent. No recall for it appears in our records.

How this score is worked out

Five parts, weighted as below, applied the same way to every food on the site. Percentages are dry matter, which takes the water out so wet and dry foods can be judged on one basis.

Ingredient quality · 35 pts
Starts neutral, then moves on what the label names: a named meat first and several named proteins near the top earn points; unnamed “meat meal”, by-products, grain fillers in the first five, artificial preservatives and colours lose them.
Protein · 25 pts
18% dry matter is the AAFCO adult minimum and scores nothing; 40% scores full marks.
Carbohydrate load · 20 pts
20% dry matter or less scores full marks; 60% or more scores nothing.
Fat balance · 10 pts
A band, not a ramp: 12–20% dry matter is the target, and too little costs as much as too much.
Recall record · 10 pts
Full marks with no recall on record. A recall costs more the more recently it happened.

Same label, same number, every time. If you think we have it wrong, the ingredient list above is the whole of our evidence.
