Canagan: the closer look
The range
Thirty seven products, 19 wet and 18 dry. Adult labels cover 35 and puppy 27, so most recipes suit both. Adult Tins and Petite carry the wet food. The kibble covers all breeds plus small breed and large breed, with light and senior options. There are two dental recipes and one insect protein formula.
Ingredients
Chicken leads on 16 products, with lamb, turkey, salmon and duck behind it, and one kibble built on insect protein. Every recipe is grain free. Labels carry glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM for joints, plus salmon oil, yucca, taurine and prebiotics.
Nutrition
Protein as fed sits around 8.5% to 11% on the wet food and 29% to 38% on the dry, with energy from 70 to 403 kcal per 100g. Nutritional balance carries the nutrition story, Outstanding on 22 products and Good on five.
Strengths
- Grain free on every recipe
- Outstanding transparency across all 37 products
- Wet and dry in one brand
Limitations

- If your dog would do better on raw or fresh, check the formats, as this brand is wet and dry
- If your dog counts as a senior, check the labels, as two carry a senior stage
