The CFIA website states in part:
all raw poultry and all poultry products and by-products that are not fully cooked, including eggs and raw pet foods, sourced, processed, or packaged from the above states are under restriction until further notice.
This means that any processed/dried or processed/canned dog food is okay. The Natural Balance dried duck and potato formula we buy is from Cali. and is sold in BC. and Washington state. and is fine. Raw dog food can be the problem, but not sure how many would be taking that across the border? Don't take dog food containing lamb, sheep or goat meat into the US.
When we take our dog camping in the US, we buy dog food on the US side of the border and take what's left back into Canada. The problem we've run into is that if only camping for a couple of days in the US, we have not been able to find small packages of suitable dog food in Canada to take into the US.
We now routinely get asked about poultry products both ways at the border.

We have never been asked about taking dog food into Canada.
Chances are very strong that you will be asked this year. See these threads in the RVing in Canada and Alaska section:
