Acana Red Meat Recipe is a dry kibble from Acana, formulated by the maker for all life stages. The manufacturer's product page lists Beef, pork, beef meal, whole red lentils and whole pinto beans as the first five ingredients; ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, so a fresh or raw item can rank above a dried one even when the dried item contributes more nutrition after moisture is removed. The manufacturer's guaranteed analysis lists 29.0% crude protein and 17.0% crude fat on an as fed basis, with 12.0% moisture. The maker's label states the recipe is formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for all life stages, with a stated exception or inclusion for growth of large size dogs. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
