DESIGNED FOR CARNIVORES

They might look different, but your puppy shares his anatomy with the grey wolf – which means he’s evolved as a carnivore and adapted for a diet rich in meat, protein, and fat.

Based on this biological fact, and to produce a nutritional analysis that mirrors the diet Mother Nature would provide for your puppy, ACANA features richly nourishing proteins and fats.

  YOUR PUPPY IS SPECIAL

  ACANA benefits puppies of every breed and size. Just like you, your puppy is a unique individual with feeding requirements that vary with environment, age, and activity.

  The table below provides a starting point, to be adjusted as needed to maintain optimum weight and peak conditioning. We suggest monitoring your puppy’s weight and adjusting rations as needed. We recommend feeding twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available.

  

  † Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.

  CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

  Unique compared to conventional foods, ACANA delivers more calories from protein and fat, promoting your puppy’s peak health and development.

  Metabolizable Energy is 3375 kcal/kg (405 kcal per 250ml/120g cup), with 34% from protein, 28% from fruits and vegetables, and 38% from fat.

• BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE

  MEAT-BASED FOODS THAT MIRROR YOUR PUPPY’S EVOLUTIONARY DIET.

  The grey wolf is ancestor to all dogs. While years of breeding has produced hundreds of ‘different-looking wolves’, the internal workings of modern puppies and their wolf cousins remain unchanged, so it’s no surprise that their dietary needs remain the same too.

  Our award-winning Biologically Appropriate philosophy is simple: mirror the quantity, freshness, and variety of meat that puppies have evolved to eat, while limiting synthetic ingredients that don’t belong in your puppy’s natural diet.

  • RICH IN MEAT (70%)

    Your puppy is biologically adapted for a diet rich in meat. That’s why we loaded ACANA Puppy Large Breed with 70% meat, including free-run chicken, wild-caught flounder, and cage-free eggs sourced from regional farms and deemed fit for human consumption.

    Compare to conventional puppy foods which often contain very little meat, and seldom from the human-consumption chain.

  • HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (1/3)

    Fresh meats are in their most natural and nourishing form. That’s why 1/3 of the poultry, fish, and eggs in ACANA are authentically fresh and loaded with goodness and taste, and the other 2/3 are dried or oils to provide a strong and natural source of meat protein. All from animals deemed fit for human consumption. — a rarity among today’s pet food makers.

    Compare to conventional dog foods which seldom contain authentically fresh meats.

  • A VARIETY OF WHOLE MEATS (3)

    In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of prey animals. That’s why ACANA features a diversity of free-run chicken, cage-free eggs, and whole fish, all in richly nourishing WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone that mimic the evolutionary diet, and eliminating the long lists of synthetic additives in conventional dog foods.

    Compare to conventional dog foods which feature one or two meats, seldom in WholePrey ratios, and feature long lists of synthetic additives.

  • RICH IN MEAT PROTEIN (33%)

    ACANA derives its rich protein content from quality animal ingredients, supporting lean muscle mass and nourishing your dog according to his evolutionary needs.

    Compare to conventional dog foods which are either typically low in protein (and high in carbohydrates) or use inappropriate plant protein concentrates to elevate their protein claims.
