KNOW YOUR MEAT MATH?

MOTHER NATURE MATCHED THE NUTRIENTS IN WHOLE FISH, FOWL AND GAME TO PERFECTLY MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR DOG.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MEAT!

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? Simple. Just answer our Biologically Appropriate three meat questions.

  • HOW MUCH FISH?

    ACANA Wild Atlantic is loaded with 70% wild-caught fish — more than twice as much as some pet specialty cat foods, and is entirely free of grains or gluten.

  • HOW MUCH FRESH FISH?

    A full 50% of the fish in ACANA Wild Atlantic is FRESH or RAW, supplying essential nutrients in their most nourishing form. Fresh means never frozen, so refrigeration is the only way we preserve our fresh fish, while our raw fish are flash-frozen at the source to lock in goodness. The other half is dried or oils to provide a strong and natural source of richly nourishing fish protein and fat.

  • HOW MANY FISH?

    ACANA features five fresh fish in WholePrey ratios that include fish, organs, and cartilage or bone to supply nutrients naturally and completely.

    • Atlantic Mackerel – whole, wild-caught, and fresh from New England.
    • Atlantic Herring – whole, wild-caught, and fresh from New England.
    • Acadian Redfish – whole, wild-caught, and fresh from New England.
    • Silver Hake – whole, wild-caught, and fresh from New England.
    • Yellowtail Flounder – whole, wild-caught, and fresh from New England.

ZINC AND COPPER | OUR ONLY SUPPLEMENTS

In Mother Nature there are no supplements, and dogs & wolves derive all of their nutritional needs by consuming whole prey animals. An entire animal provides protein, vitamins, and minerals, as well as calcium and phosphorus.

ACANA mirrors the natural diet, applying our MeatMath and incorporating WholePrey meat, organs, and cartilage or bone in ratios that deliver nutrients naturally. By providing a concentrated, natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive, you eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic additives. That’s why zinc and copper are our only supplements.

DESIGNED FOR CARNIVORES

Your dog is a carnivore and shares his anatomy with the gray wolf, which means his body, teeth, jaws, and short digestive tract are 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 Wild Atlantic is loaded with nourishing fish protein and oils, while excluding grains, gluten, and long lists of synthetic ingredients found in some dog foods.

YOUR DOG IS SPECIAL

ACANA Wild Atlantic benefits dogs of every breed and size. Just like you, your dog is a unique individual and his feeding requirements will 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 amounts as needed. We recommend feeding twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available.

† 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 Wild Atlantic Dog is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages, including growth of large size dogs (70lb or more as an adult).

CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

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

Metabolizable Energy is 3440 kcal/kg (392 kcal per 8oz cup), with 34% from protein, 24% from fruits and vegetables, and 42% from richly nourishing fish oils.

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE

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

The gray wolf is ancestor to all domestic 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 meat that dogs have evolved to eat, while limiting the long lists of synthetic ingredients that don’t belong in your dog’s natural diet.

  • RICH IN FISH (70%)

    Your dog is biologically adapted for a diet rich in meat. Your dog is anatomically designed to break down protein and fat from meat with her sharp teeth, single-hinge jaw, and short digestive tract. That’s why we loaded ACANA Wild Atlantic with 70% wild-caught fish, including whole mackerel, whole herring, whole redfish, silver hake, and yellowtail flounder, all sourced from New England’s cold Atlantic waters.

  • HIGH FRESH FISH INCLUSIONS (1/2)

    Half of the fish in ACANA Wild Atlantic is authentically fresh so it’s loaded with goodness and taste. The other 1/2 is dried or oils to provide a strong and natural source of nourishing fish protein and fat.

  • A VARIETY OF WHOLE FISH

    In nature, your dog’s diet would include a wide assortment of prey animals that provide all the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals needed for peak health. ACANA Wild Atlantic features a rich diversity of fresh, whole, wild-caught fish in richly nourishing WholePrey ratios of fish, organs, and cartilage or bone to mimic your dog’s natural diet and provide essential nutrients. This eliminates the need for long lists of synthetic additives, so we only add zinc and copper.

  • RICH IN FISH PROTEIN (33%)

    ACANA is entirely free of grains or gluten, commonly substituted for animal protein by many specialty dog foods to reduce costs. Instead, ACANA Wild Atlantic derives its rich protein content from quality fish ingredients, not plants, to support lean muscle mass and a healthy body weight, as well as nourish your dog according to his evolutionary needs.

  • FRESH VEGETABLES & FRUIT

    Your dog’s natural diet contains almost no carbs at all. That’s why ACANA features vegetables and fruit in limited quantities, meaning no extra, non-essential carbs to be stored as body fat.

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

CHICKEN & GREENS / ADULT DOG FAQ

  1. Why did you change the name from ACANA Chicken & Greens to ACANA Adult Dog?
    The reason for the name change is for greater consistency within the ACANA Heritage product line. This better reflects its All Life Stages nutrient profile.

    No. There have been no changes to the formula. It is only a name change.
  3. Have you changed the names of any of your other ACANA diets? Are there plans to?
    No, we have not changed the names of our other ACANA diets. Currently, we do not have plans to change the names of any of our existing diets.
  4. Does this affect both Canada and the USA?
    The name change only affects Canada and our export market. This diet is not available in the U.S.
  5. Does this change affect the pricing of the product?
    No, this name change does not affect pricing.
  6. When will my bags have the new name?
    You can expect to see the new bags in-store by May 2018. However, there may be a longer transition period up to August 2018 as inventory is cleared out.

Still have questions? Our customer care team is here to listen.

At Champion Petfoods, our vision is to be trusted by Pet Lovers everywhere, and that means producing dog and cat foods and treats of exceptional quality. Whenever we enhance our diets we use our Biologically Appropriate mandate to guide us. Recent enhancements to our ACANA Singles foods included an increase in meat content from 50% to 60%. While an increase in meat is usually a good thing, trying to balance the nutrients in a food that relies on one animal source can be challenging. After adding more fish to our ACANA Singles Wild Mackerel food, we were not satisfied with the new vitamin and mineral balance in the enhanced food. Rather than keeping one ACANA Singles food at 50% and moving the other foods to 60%, we’ve decided to discontinue ACANA Singles Wild Mackerel effective immediately.
