Acana Wholesome Grains, Puppy Recipe is a grain-inclusive kibble that pairs meat with whole grains, peas or lentils from Acana, formulated by the maker for puppies. The manufacturer's product page lists Chicken, chicken meal, oat groats, whole sorghum and whole millet 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 28.0% crude protein and 19.0% 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 puppies. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
