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 fats.

YOUR DOG IS SPECIAL

ACANA benefits dogs of all breeds. Just like you, your dog is unique 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 dog’s weight and adjusting portions 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.

ACANA Wild Coast is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.

CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

Unique compared to conventional foods, ACANA delivers more calories from protein and fat and fewer calories from carbohydrates.

Metabolizable Energy is 3493 kcal/kg (419 kcal per 250ml/120g cup), with 30% from protein, 30% from vegetables and fruits, and 40% from fat.

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE

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

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

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

• RICH IN FISH (50%) AND PROTEIN (29%)

  Your dog is biologically adapted for a diet rich in meat. That’s why we loaded ACANA Wild Coast with 50% sustainable and wild-caught fish, including Pacific herring, arrowtooth flounder, and Pacific hake, all deemed fit for human consumption prior to inclusion in our recipes.

  Entirely free of the pea or potato protein concentrates common in today’s conventional dog foods, ACANA derives its rich protein (29%) 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 typically low in protein and meat (and high in carbohydrates) and use ingredients that aren’t deemed fit for human consumption.

• HIGH FRESH FISH INCLUSIONS (1/3)

  We use fresh fish in their most natural and nourishing form. That’s why 1/3 of the fish in ACANA Wild Coast is authentically fresh and loaded with goodness and taste, and 2/3 are dried or oils to provide a concentrated, natural source of protein, supplying essential nutrients and providing the natural flavours and goodness dogs instinctively crave.

  Our ingredients are from fish deemed fit for human consumption — a rarity among today’s pet food makers.

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

• AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF FISH (3)

  In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of meats and fish. That’s why ACANA Wild Coast features sustainble and wild-caught fish off Vancouver Island – whole Pacific herring, arrowtooth flounder, and Pacific hake – and provides a nourishing diversity of proteins and fats to promote peak health.

  Compare to conventional dog foods which feature one or two meats and have long lists of synthetic additives.

• WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS

  In her infinite wisdom, Mother Nature matched the nutrients in whole prey animals to perfectly meet your dog’s needs. Meat provides protein and fat; organs supply vitamins and minerals; and cartilage or bone provide calcium and phosphorus.

  Richly nourishing whole fish provides a concentrated source of nutrients naturally, dramatically reducing the need to add synthetic vitamins or supplement to our foods.

  Compare to conventional dog foods which often don’t incorporate WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, cartilage, or bone.

• Your dog’s natural diet contains very few carbohydrates, which are recognized as a leading cause of obesity and diabetes. That’s why ACANA replaces fast carbohydrates such as corn, rice, tapioca and potato with steel-cut oats, a healthy, low-glycemic grain. Steel-cut oats gradually enter the blood stream, avoiding spikes in blood sugar and decreasing fat storage.

  Compare to conventional dog foods which often exceed 50% carbohydrates, and feature high-glycemic ingredients.
