DESIGNED FOR CARNIVORES

Your dog is a carnivore and shares his anatomy with the gray wolf, which means his body, short digestive tract, teeth, and jaws are adapted for a diet rich in animal 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 Duck & Pumpkin + Wholesome Grains is rich in nourishing protein and fat, while excluding rice, potato, tapioca, and long lists of synthetic ingredients found in some dog foods.

YOUR DOG IS SPECIAL

ACANA Duck & Pumpkin + Wholesome Grains benefits your dog by providing the nutritional value that meets their individual needs. Just like you, your dog is a unique individual and their 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.

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

They’ll love the change – we guarantee it!

† 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.

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 animal ingredients 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 MEAT (60%)

  Your dog is biologically adapted for a diet rich in meat. Equipped with sharp teeth, a single-hinge jaw, and a short digestive tract, domestic dogs are anatomically designed to metabolize protein and fat from animal ingredients. That’s why we loaded ACANA Duck & Pumpkin + Wholesome Grains with 60% free-run duck from regional farms.

• HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (1/2)

  Half of the duck in ACANA Duck & Pumpkin + Wholesome Grains is delivered raw and loaded with goodness and taste. 

• WHOLEPREY DUCK 

  In nature, your dog’s diet would include a wide assortment of whole prey animals that provide all the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals needed for peak health. That’s why ACANA Duck & Pumpkin + Wholesome Grains features richly nourishing WholePrey ratios of duck meat, organs, and cartilage to mimic your dog’s natural diet, providing essential nutrients. 

• RICH IN ANIMAL PROTEIN (27%)

  Entirely free of gluten, potato, or tapioca common in today’s limited ingredient foods, ACANA Duck & Pumpkin + Wholesome Grains derives its rich protein content from quality duck ingredients (not plants), that support lean muscle mass and a healthy body weight, as well as nourish your dog according to his evolutionary needs.

• FRESH VEGETABLES & FRUIT

  ACANA features vegetables and fruit 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.
