Acana Adult Dog
Specifications
Information
Just like his wild cousins, your dog is a carnivore, designed to thrive on whole game and possessing a biological need for a diet rich and varied in fresh whole meats.
That’s why we loaded ACANA Adult Dog with free-run chicken, wild-caught flounder and nest-laid eggs — farmed or fished in our region by people we know and trust and delivered FRESH in WholePrey ratios, so they’re brimming with goodness and taste.
Free of grains and fast carbohydrates such as rice, tapioca or potato, ACANA is rich in meat proteins to promote lean muscle mass and peak physical conditioning.
Prepared in our award-winning kitchens from Canada’s best and freshest ingredients, Biologically Appropriate ACANA keeps your dog healthy, happy and strong — guaranteed.

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 Adult Dog is loaded with 60% 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.
ZINC | OUR ONLY SUPPLEMENT
ACANA mirrors the natural diet, incorporating meat, organs and cartilage in ratios that deliver nutrients in the most natural way possible, providing a concentrated and natural source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive. That’s why virtually all of the nutrients in ACANA are naturally present and are not synthetic.
