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.
Has the formula changed? No. There have been no changes to the formula. It is only a name change.
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.
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.
Does this change affect the pricing of the product? No, this name change does not affect pricing.
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.
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.
For a different food diet with only fish protein, we recommend ACANA Freshwater Fish from our Heritage line, or ACANA Wild Atlantic from our Regionals line. We also recommend ORIJEN Six Fish, which features mackerel as one of its ingredients.
