Furry PI's verdict

Acana Chunks in Broth Adult earns its grade honestly. Lamb leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. It isn't flawless — the protein share of calories runs below a cat's natural diet. Even so, the overall picture is good for everyday feeding.

What's concerning

  • A smaller share of its calories comes from protein than a cat's natural diet would provide — the main thing that kept it from a higher grade.

What works

  • Lamb leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
  • As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
  • Carbohydrate load stays close to what a cat would eat in nature.
