Furry PI's verdict

Acana Bountiful Catch doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. The carbohydrate load runs well above a cat's natural diet. To be fair, salmon leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

Salmon leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as salmon and catfish oil.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
