FOOD FOR CARNIVORES

Your cat is an obligate carnivore and shares her anatomy with the Near Eastern wildcat, which means her body, teeth, jaws, and short digestive tract are designed 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 cat, ACANA Grasslands is rich in nourishing protein and oils from meat, all the while excluding grains, gluten, and long lists of synthetic additives found in some cat foods.

YOUR CAT IS SPECIAL

Just like you, your cat or kitten is a unique individual and her feeding requirements will vary with breed, environment, age, and activity.

That’s why we suggest using this chart as a starting point, and monitoring your cat or kitten’s weight and adjusting amounts as needed. We also recommend feeding her twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available.

When switching diets, it’s important to transition your cat or kitten as it takes time for her digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ACANA. Over a five-to-seven-day day period, gradually mix in ACANA, increasing the amount each day so that by day seven you are feeding 100% ACANA.

† Use a standard 8-ounce 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 Grasslands is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.

CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

Compared to some cat foods, ACANA delivers more calories from protein and fat and fewer calories from carbohydrates, promoting your cat’s peak health.

Metabolizable Energy is 3850 kcal/kg (439 kcal per 8 oz. cup), with 37% from protein, 23% from carbohydrates and 40% from fat.

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE

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

The Near Eastern wildcat is the closest relative of domestic cats. Despite years of breeding, the internal workings and eating anatomy of wild and domestic cats remain unchanged, so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too.

Our Biologically Appropriate principle is simple: mirror the quantity, freshness, and variety of meat that nature evolved cats to eat, and exclude grains, gluten, synthetic additives, and anything else that nature didn’t intend your cat to eat.

• RICH IN MEAT (75%)

  Your cat is biologically adapted for a diet rich in quality animal ingredients. Equipped with sharp teeth, a single-hinge jaw, and a short digestive tract, domestic cats are anatomically designed to break down protein and fat from meat. That’s why we loaded ACANA Grasslands with 75% meat, game, eggs, and fish, including grass-fed lamb, free-run duck & quail, cage-free eggs, and freshwater trout, all sourced from regional farms and lakes.

• HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (1/2)

  Half of the meat ingredients in ACANA Grasslands are FRESH or RAW, so they are loaded with goodness and taste. Refrigeration is the only way we preserve our fresh meat – our fresh meat is never frozen. Our raw meat is flash-frozen at the source to lock in natural goodness. The other 1/2 of meat ingredients are dried or oils to provide a strong, natural source of animal protein and fat.

• A VARIETY OF WHOLE MEAT

  In nature, your cat’s diet would include an assortment of whole prey animals that provide all the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals needed for peak health. ACANA Grasslands features a diversity of fresh meat in richly nourishing WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone to mimic your cat’s natural diet and nourish her naturally. So you won’t find long lists of synthetic supplements – only choline, zinc and copper are added.

• RICH IN MEAT PROTEIN (35%)

  ACANA is entirely free of grains or gluten, commonly used in today’s cat foods. Instead ACANA Grasslands derives its rich protein content from quality animal ingredients, not plants, that support lean muscle mass and a healthy body weight and nourish your cat according to her evolutionary makeup.

• Your cat’s natural diet contains almost no carbohydrate at all. That’s why ACANA features fruits and vegetables in limited quantities—meaning no extra non-essential carbohydrate to be stored as body fat.

  This helps maintain healthy blood-sugar levels, reduces the potential for fat storage, and promotes overall good health.
