Name: Canagan Dry All Breeds: Scottish Salmon
Brand: Canagan

68.3/100Good

DryPuppyAdult

Flavour

Canagan puts a lot of named meat at the top of every list and changes only the animal underneath. Four of the five labels print a dosed joint trio, and every recipe is written for puppies as well as adults. Three read Excellent and two Good, with little between them.

Our view

Likely to suit

Pick whichever animal agrees with your dog; the food underneath stays the same
Grain-avoiding dogs
Rotating proteins across one construction
A puppy and an adult fed from the same shelf
Stiffening dogs, with glucosamine and MSM from 570 to 830 mg/kg on four labels
A meat-forward bowl, at up to 40.2% protein in dry matter

Worth watching

Salmon oil in every bag
Chicken in the gravy of Country Game and the dried chicken of Highland Feast; a chicken-avoiding dog is best on the Lamb or the Salmon
Calcium varies, and a large-breed puppy is better matched to the lower end
No joint trio on Scottish Salmon

Against the range

Animals: Fish only, no egg; Land meats on the other four.
Joint trio: None; Dosed on the other four.
Ash, dry matter: 10.3%; Highest; 7.6% to 8.7% on the others.

For a dog off land meats, the tidiest choice in the range.

Every recipe opens with freshly prepared meat and prints the dried meat share behind it, so you can judge both. Sweet potato heads the plant side, with peas and potato behind and no cereal anywhere. Salmon oil is in all five bags, so none is fish free.

Four labels dose glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin; Scottish Salmon carries none. The tail of alfalfa, psyllium, seaweed and botanicals barely changes. Protein runs from 31.5% to 40.2% of dry matter, and calcium from 1.52% to 1.85%.
