With the protein level at 31%, this is the lowest protein level of any Acana’s products. With a total of 8 meats and with four of them coming before the first oil, we have great faith in this products meat percent. We do not see any controversial ingredients and while the price point is quite high, for those that can afford this food, you will not be disappointed. We highly recommend this dog food.
This dog food is expected to be released soon (April 2011).
