All of Acana's cat food formulas are grain-free, and contain protein ingredients that were not previously frozen.

Acana Dry Cat Food Review

Acana brand dry cat food is available in a 2lb trial size bag, a 5.5lb bag, a 16.5lb bag, and large 30lb bag. Given the different nutritional needs of some cats, Acana cat food is available in three different variations. All three of these Acana cat food formulas have a 65:35:0 rating (which is Meat ingredients : Fruit & Vegetables : Grain), and contain several certified organic ingredients.

Acana Dry Cat Food comes in the follow 3 recipes:

  1. Acana Prairie Feast Cat Food - Acana's Prairie Feast  formula is a chicken-based cat food, which also includes chicken eggs, Whitefish and Northern Walleye fish. Other ingredients include russet potatoes, juniper berries (which are potentially hazardous for pregnant dogs), alfalfa, pumpkin, sea vegetables and several different herbs (such as peppermint, chamomile and red raspberry leaf). The Guaranteed analysis of Acana's Prairie Feast cat food contains 35% protein, 19% fat and 3% fiber.
  2. Acana Pacifica Cat Food - Acana Pacifica cat food formula includes Flounder, Salmon and Herring as the main sources of protein. Some of the other ingredients include pumpkin, turnip greens, apples, bladderwrack, kelp, juniper berries, and several herbs.

Acana Dry Cat Food Thoughts

Though Acana brand cat foods are not priced as highly as some other ultra-premium cat foods, the grain-free formula seems to work well for consumers and their cats. Since the protein sources in each of the three Acana cat food formulas are clearly listed, this can be very helpful when dealing with a hypoallergenic cat. Also, since all three of these cat food formulas are grain-free, most consumers agree that it is much easier on a cat's sensitive digestive system.
