Comparing Our Top Dry Dog Food Brands

Here’s a quick comparison to help you find the best fit for your dog:

This table is especially helpful if you’re comparing Acana vs Orijen, or trying to decide between grain-free vs grain-inclusive dry dog food.

How to Choose the Best Dry Dog Food for Your Dog

When choosing a dry dog food, it’s not about trends, it’s about what works for your dog.

1. Look for Real Animal Protein First

High-quality dry dog food lists named meat sources (like chicken, beef, lamb, or fish) as the first ingredient. This supports lean muscle mass and sustained energy.

2. Decide Between Grain-Free or Grain-Inclusive

Some dogs thrive on grain-free diets, while others do better with wholesome grains like oats or brown rice. The best dry dog food is the one your dog digests well.

3. Consider Digestive Support

Ingredients like probiotics, prebiotic fibre, pumpkin, and chicory root help support gut health, especially important for dogs with sensitive stomachs.

4. Match the Food to Life Stage & Lifestyle

Puppies, seniors, and active dogs all have different nutritional needs. Feeding for your dog’s life stage helps avoid deficiencies or excess calories.

Grain-Free vs Grain-Inclusive Dry Dog Food: What’s Better?

This is one of the most common questions dog parents ask, and the answer depends on your dog.

Grain-Free Dry Dog Food

1. Ideal for dogs with grain sensitivities
2. Often higher in protein
3. Uses legumes or vegetables instead of grains

Grain-Inclusive Dry Dog Food

1. Provides natural fibre and slow-release energy
2. Often easier on digestion for some dogs
3. Can be a great option for long-term feeding

Brands like Acana, Go! Solutions, and Farmina offer both grain-free and grain-inclusive recipes, making it easy to choose what works best for your dog.

Dry Dog Food by Life Stage & Lifestyle

Puppy Dry Dog Food

Puppies need higher protein, fat, and DHA for growth and brain development. Look for nutrient-dense recipes designed specifically for puppies.

Adult Dog Dry Food

Balanced formulas that support muscle maintenance, digestion, and daily energy needs.

Senior Dog Dry Food

Lower calorie, joint-supporting recipes help maintain mobility and healthy weight as dogs age.

Active & Working Dogs

High-protein, calorie-dense dry dog food fuels endurance and muscle recovery.

Sensitive Stomachs & Picky Eaters

Limited-ingredient diets and fresh-meat recipes from Go! Solutions and Now Fresh are excellent options.

Why These Dry Dog Food Brands Stand Out

Each brand in this collection offers something unique:

• Acana focuses on regionally sourced ingredients and balanced, protein-rich recipes.
• Orijen is known for its biologically appropriate approach, using whole-prey ratios and very high protein levels.
• Go! Solutions creates targeted recipes for sensitivities, weight management, and specific dietary needs.
• Now Fresh uses fresh meats and low-glycemic carbohydrates — ideal for picky or sensitive dogs.
• Canadian Naturals offers simple, affordable nutrition made in Canada with minimal ingredients.
• Farmina blends veterinary science with premium European ingredients for highly digestible, performance-focused diets.

What Ingredients to Look for in High-Quality Dry Dog Food

When reading a dog food label, prioritize:

• Named animal proteins as the first ingredient
• No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives
• Healthy fats like fish oil or chicken fat for skin & coat
• Functional ingredients such as probiotics, omega-3s, and antioxidants

Avoid vague terms like “meat meal” or unnecessary fillers.
