The best thing to do is always go to the Canadian & US gov't websites for the current info. on pet foods. The rules are always subject to change. The current info. from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency says:
Travellers may bring into Canada a personal import of pet food (limit of 20 kg), if the import meets all of the following requirements:
The pet food or product must be of United States origin and be commercially packaged.
The pet food or product must be in the possession of the traveller at the time of entry from the U.S.
The animal that will eat the imported product must accompany the traveller at the time of entry.
The imported product is fed only to the animal that accompanied the traveller into Canada.
