By nature, all dogs are evolved as carnivores, biologically adapted for a diet rich and varied in fresh meats with smaller amounts of fruits, vegetables and grasses.

The ultimate food mimics the one that Mother Nature intended your dog to eat!
Loaded with 55% of chicken, fish, and eggs, ACANA matches your dog’s evolutionary adaptation to a meat and protein rich diet. ACANA‘s rich variety of fresh meats mirrors the diversity and freshness Nature intended.
ACANA Chicken & Burbank Potato is loaded with a full 25% of fruits and vegetables, including Red Delicious apples, Bartlett pears, butternut squash and Burbank potatoes – all delivered fresh each day from our prairie farms and the sun-drenched Okanagan valley so they’re bursting with natural goodness to support your dog’s peak health and immunity.
Rich in protein and low in carbohydrates to match your dog’s natural diet, ACANA Chicken & Burbank Potato is free of high glycemic grains such as rice and corn.
Associated with obesity and diabetes, high glycemic grains break down quickly, causing a rapid and large rise in your dog’s blood sugar. That’s why low glycemic and hypoallergenic steel-cut oats are ACANA‘s only source of grain.
Locally grown, our steel-cut oats are digested slowly, causing blood sugar to rise less over a longer period of time, so your dog’s sensitivity to insulin is beneficially increased and fat storage is decreased.
We infused each morsel of ACANA Chicken & Burbank Potato with marine-source Omega 3 from wild-caught New Brunswick herring to support immunity and luxuriant skin & hair coat – your dog’s outer symbol of health and vitality.
ACANA features organic sea vegetables and botanicals – including juniper berries, lavender flowers, sun-cured alfalfa and peppermint leaf to enhance metabolism while nourishing and toning your dog’s digestive tract.

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 is loaded with nourishing meat proteins and fats, while limiting unwanted carbohydrates and high-glycemic grains.
ACANA mirrors the meat and protein concentrated diets that all dogs are evolved to eat, while reducing the carbohydrates and high-glycemic grains that cause blood sugar levels to rise and fluctuate.
Compared to conventional foods, ACANA delivers more calories from protein and fat and fewer calories from carbohydrates, reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes and promoting your dog’s peak health.
Metabolic Energy for ACANA Chicken & Burbank Potato is 3600 kcal/kg (435 kcal per 250 ml cup) with 27% of energy from protein, 40% from chicken and fish oils, and 33% from fruits, vegetables and steel-cut oats.
Just like you, your dog is a unique individual and his feeding requirements will vary with his breed, environment, age and activity.
That’s why we suggest using this chart as a starting point, and monitoring your dog’s weight and adjusting his rations as needed. We also recommend feeding him twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available.
When switching diets, it’s important to transition your dog as it takes time for his digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ACANA. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ACANA, increasing the amount each day so that by day 7 you are feeding 100% ACANA.
He’ll love the change – we guarantee it!
