Whether herding sheep or jumping high at weekend fly ball, your sporting dog requires a diet rich in meats and fats for sustained endurance.
That’s why we loaded ACANA Sport & Agility with free-run Cobb chicken and whole eggs from local farms, wild-caught flounder from North Vancouver Island, and Okanagan Valley fruits & vegetables – all delivered fresh each day for unequalled nourishment, flavour, and energy.
Prepared from Canada’s best and freshest ingredients in our award-winning kitchens, ACANA is a delicious way to keep your sporting dog happy, healthy, and strong.
Read our ingredients and we think you’ll agree!
The ultimate food mimics the one Mother Nature intended your active dog to eat!
Loaded with 65% of nourishing 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 Sport & Agility is loaded with a full 20% of fruits & vegetables, including Red Delicious apples, Bartlett pears, butternut squash, and Burbank potatoes – all delivered fresh from local prairie farms and our sun-drenched Okanagan valley so they're bursting with natural goodness to support peak health and immunity.
Rich in protein and low in carbohydrates to match the natural diet, ACANA Sport & Agility is free of the high glycemic grains (such as rice and corn) found in conventional foods.
Long associated with obesity and diabetes, high glycemic grains break down quickly, causing a rapid and large rise in blood sugar – a major concern for competition dogs. That' why low glycemic steel-cut oats are ACANA's only source of grain.
Locally grown, our oats are digested slowly, causing your dog's blood sugar to rise less over a longer period of time, so sensitivity to insulin is beneficially increased and fat storage is decreased.
We infused each morsel of ACANA Sport & Agility with marine-source Omega 3 (DHA, EPA) from wild-caught New Brunswick herring to support immunity and luxuriant skin & hair coat – your dog's outer symbol of health and vitality.
Organic sea vegetables and botanicals including juniper berries, lavender flowers, sun-cured alfalfa and peppermint leaf enhance metabolism while nourishing and toning your dog’s digestive tract.
ACANA Sport & Agility features an unmatched variety of local ingredients that are raised or fished by people we know and trust, passed fit for human consumption, and then delivered to our door fresh each day!

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 Sport & Agility is 3954 kcal/kg (475 kcal per 250 ml cup) with 30% of energy from protein, 52% from chicken and fish oils, and 18% 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!
