The grain-free Singles line is the most transparent set of labels in this entire library on one specific measure: it publishes ash, dietary starch and sugar maximums, three figures almost no pet food maker discloses voluntarily, alongside a taurine guarantee of 0.2 percent. If you want to know roughly how much starch is in a grain-free kibble, this is one of the few places a manufacturer tells you: an 18 percent maximum. On the animal side it is a genuine limited ingredient diet, with lamb, lamb meal, lamb liver, lamb tripe and freeze-dried lamb the only meats and fish oil the only other animal item. Protein 31 percent and fat 17 percent as-fed minimums. The caveat is the familiar one across the grain-inclusive and Singles ranges alike: the AAFCO statement excludes growth of large breed dogs at 70lbs or more as an adult, despite the All Life Stages label. The published 1.8 percent calcium and 1.2 percent phosphorus give no hint of that exclusion. No sourcing or made-in statement published.

Questions about Acana Singles Lamb with Apple Limited Ingredient Diet (All Life Stages, Dry)
Does it say how much starch is in it?
Yes, which is unusual. The guaranteed analysis publishes a dietary starch maximum of 18 percent, plus an ash maximum of 10 percent and a sugar maximum of 5 percent. Very few makers disclose any of those three.
Is it a true single-protein lamb food?
On the animal side, yes. Lamb, lamb meal, lamb liver, lamb tripe and freeze-dried lamb are the only meats, with fish oil the only other animal-derived ingredient.
Can large breed puppies eat it?
No. The maker's AAFCO statement covers All Life Stages except for growth of large breed dogs at 70lbs or more as an adult.
