DESIGNED FOR CARNIVORES

They might look different, but your dog shares his eating anatomy with the gray wolf – which means he’s evolved as a carnivore and 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 Light & Fit is rich in nourishing proteins and fats, while excluding rice, potato and tapioca and long lists of synthetic ingredients found in some dog foods.

We also recommend feeding twice daily and insist that you always keep fresh, clean water available to your dog.

ACANA Light & Fit is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for Adult Maintenance.

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE

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

The gray wolf is ancestor to all dogs. And 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 meats that dogs are 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. That’s why we loaded ACANA Light & Fit with 60% poultry, including chicken, turkey and whole nest-laid eggs, all sourced from regional farms, and all from poultry federally inspected facilities.

• HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (1/2)

  Meats are in their most natural and nourishing form when they’re fresh. That’s why half of the poultry in ACANA Light & Fit is authentically fresh and loaded with goodness and taste, and the other half is dried to provide a strong and natural source of protein.

• A VARIETY OF MEATS (3)

  In nature, dogs benefit from an assortment of prey animals. That’s why ACANA features a diversity fresh poultry in richly nourishing WholePrey ratios of meat, organs and cartilage to mimic your dog’s natural diet and eliminate the need for long lists of synthetic additives.

• RICH IN MEAT PROTEIN (33%)

  Entirely free of the pea or potato protein concentrates common in today’s dog foods, ACANA derives its rich protein content from premium animal ingredients (not plants), supporting lean muscle mass and nourishing your dog according to his evolutionary needs.

• FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES (30%)

  Your dog’s natural diet contains almost no carbohydrate at all. That’s why ACANA features fruits and vegetables 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.
