Made in our award-winning kitchens from Canada’s best and freshest ingredients, Biologically Appropriate ACANA is guaranteed to keep your puppy healthy, happy and strong.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MEAT

Modern dogs are built like their ancestors and we believe they should eat like them. How do you know if your dog’s food is Biologically Appropriate? It’s simple, just answer the three meat questions.

HOW MUCH MEAT?
Entirely free of plant protein concentrates, ACANA Puppy Small Breed is loaded with 70% meat — up to twice as much as most pet specialty dog foods.

HOW MUCH FRESH MEAT?
1/3 of the meat in ACANA is FRESH, supplying essential nutrients in their most nourishing form, and 2/3 are dried to provide a strong and natural source of protein.

HOW MANY MEATS?
ACANA Heritage foods feature three fresh meats in WholePrey ratios that include meat, organs and cartilage to supply nutrients naturally and completely.

• Free-run chicken – meat, liver, heart, kidney and cartilage, fresh from local farms.
• Nest-laid eggs – whole and fresh from local prairie farms.
• Wild flounder – whole and fresh from North Vancouver Island.

In nature there are no synthetic supplements, and dogs and wolves derive their nutritional needs by consuming prey animals; muscle meat provides protein; liver, kidney and tripe supply vitamins and minerals; bones and cartilage deliver calcium and phosphorus.
