The grain-free puppy recipe, and the highest DHA figure in the Acana range at a 0.4 percent minimum, which is the guarantee that matters most in a growth diet because DHA is the omega-3 tied to neural and retinal development. It also publishes the highest glucosamine in the range at 600 mg/kg and a taurine guarantee of 0.1 percent, and its AAFCO statement includes growth of large size dogs, so this is the grain-free counterpart to the two Wholesome Grains puppy recipes for a large breed puppy. Protein 31 percent, fat 19 percent and 3,575 kcal/kg make it the most calorie dense Acana dry food in this library. One thing to weigh: it is grain free with whole green peas and red lentils at positions four and five and pinto beans, chickpeas and green lentils further down, the ingredient profile the FDA examined in its diet-associated canine dilated cardiomyopathy investigation, which reached no causal finding. The published taurine guarantee is relevant context there. No sourcing or made-in statement published.
