SENIOR
FOR ALL ADULT DOGS 7 YEARS AND OLDER
Senior dogs are best fed a diet rich in meat protein to support lean muscle mass and promote a healthy body weight for peak health.
ACANA Senior features higher protein levels from richly nourishing free-run chicken, cage-free eggs, and whole, wild-caught flounder that are delivered to our kitchen fresh or raw, so they’re loaded with goodness and taste.
To promote healthy blood-sugar levels, ACANA Senior replaces grains and gluten with farm-fresh vegetables and fruit, such as pumpkin and squash.
Prepared in our award-winning kitchen from Canada’s best and freshest ingredients, Biologically Appropriate ACANA keeps your senior dog healthy, happy, and strong.
Read our ingredients and we think you’ll agree!
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MEAT
MOTHER NATURE MATCHED THE NUTRIENTS IN WHOLE FOWL, FISH AND GAME TO PERFECTLY MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR DOG.
Modern dogs are built like their ancestors and we believe they should eat like them too.
How do you know if your dog’s food is Biologically Appropriate? It’s simple, just answer the three meat questions.
In nature there are no synthetic supplements, and dogs and wolves derive their nutritional needs by consuming prey animals; muscle meat provides protein; liver, kidney, and tripe supply vitamins and minerals; and cartilage and bone deliver calcium and phosphorus.

DESIGNED FOR CARNIVORES
They might look different, but your dog 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 dog, ACANA features richly nourishing proteins and fat.

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE
MEAT-BASED FOODS THAT MIRROR YOUR DOG’S EVOLUTIONARY DIET.
The grey wolf is ancestor to all dogs. While years of breeding have produced hundreds of ‘different-looking wolves’, the internal workings of modern dogs 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 meats that dogs are evolved to eat, while limiting synthetic ingredients that don’t belong in your dog’s natural diet.
