How we select alternatives to Acana

For each species + food type combination represented in the Acana range, we identify the highest-scored product from a competing brand. The A–E score synthesises five criteria: protein quality, overall nutritional balance, absence of undesirable additives, ingredient transparency, and species fit. No sponsorship can change a product's score — the methodology is applied uniformly across the catalog.

Want to dig into a specific alternative? Each card above points to that product's dedicated /alternatives/<product>/ page, which adds cheaper-per-kg sub-rankings and other food-type options for the same species.
