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 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 Lamb & Apple is rich in nourishing protein and fat, while excluding grains, gluten, and long lists of synthetic ingredients found in some dog foods.

YOUR DOG IS SPECIAL

ACANA Lamb & Apple benefits your dog by providing the nutritional value that meets its individual needs. 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.

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 five-to-seven-day period, gradually mix in ACANA, increasing the amount each day so that by day seven you are feeding 100% ACANA.

He’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.
ACANA LAMB & APPLE is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages, except for growth of large size dogs (70lb or more as an adult).

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE

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

The gray wolf is the 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 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 break down protein and fat from meat. That’s why we loaded ACANA Lamb & Apple with 60% lamb, sourced all from regional farms.

• HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (1/2)

  Half of the lamb in ACANA Lamb & Apple is authentically fresh or raw, so it’s loaded with goodness and taste. Fresh means never frozen, so refrigeration is the only way we preserve our fresh meat, while our raw meat is flash-frozen to lock in goodness. The other half of the lamb is dried to provide a strong and natural source of richly nourishing animal protein and fat.

• WHOLEPREY LAMB

  carbohydrates
  In nature, dogs benefit from consuming the entire prey animal which providing all the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals needed. ACANA Lamb & Apple features richly nourishing lamb meat, organs, and cartilage or bone in WholePrey ratios that mimic the natural diet.

• RICH IN MEAT PROTEIN (31%)

  Free of grains or gluten found in some dog foods, ACANA Lamb & Apple’s protein is derived from quality lamb ingredients, not plants. This supports lean muscle mass and a healthy weight — all while nourishing 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 carbsto be stored as body fat.

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