This means it evolved as a carnivore and developed an adaptation to a diet rich in meat, protein, and fat. Based on this biological phenomenon, and to provide a nutritional analysis that reflects the foods Mother Nature would provide for your dog, ACANA provides nutrient-rich proteins and fats while limiting unwanted carbohydrates.

Just like you, your dog is a unique individual, and nutritional needs vary based on their environment, age, and activity level. The table below provides a starting point and can then be adjusted as needed to achieve optimal weight and peak condition. We recommend monitoring your dog's weight and adjusting the proportions as needed. We recommend feeding your dog twice daily and always having fresh, clean water on hand† Use a standard 250ml 120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. Consult your veterinarian regularly. To help preserve freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry place. CALORIE DISTRIBUTION Compared to traditional foods, ACANA provides more of its calories from protein and fat and fewer from carbohydrates, helping to optimize your dog's health by reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes. 3493 kcal kg (419 kcal per 250 ml 120 g serving). Of this, 0 calories come from protein, 0 calories from fruits and vegetables, and 0 calories from fat. BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE™ MEAT-BASED FOODS THAT REFLECT YOUR DOG'S EVOLUTIONARY DIET. The gray wolf is the ancestor of all domestic dogs. While hundreds of "different-looking wolves" have been produced over the years, the inner workings of today's dogs and their wild cousins remain the same, so it's no surprise that their nutritional needs remain the same as their wild cousins. Our award-winning Biologically Appropriate™ philosophy is simple: mimic the amount, freshness, and variety of meats found in dogs' evolutionary eating patterns, while limiting carbohydrates and synthetic ingredients not found in their natural diets. RICH IN MEAT AND PROTEIN (P) Your dog has adapted to a meat-rich diet. That's why we've filled ACANA Wild Coast with Pacific herring, halibut, and haddock, all deemed fit for human consumption. Compare to conventional dog foods, which contain very little meat, and only very rarely do meats come from the human consumption chain. RICH IN MEAT PROTEIN ()) Completely free of the pea and potato proteins common in today's conventional dog foods, ACANA sources its rich protein from premium animal ingredients (not plants), supporting your dog's lean muscle mass and nourishing him according to his evolutionary needs. Compare to conventional dog foods, which are typically low in protein (and high in carbohydrates) or use plant protein concentrates that are not suitable for increasing protein demands. FRESH MEAT INGREDIENTS (1 3) We use fresh fish in its most natural, most nutritious form. That's why one-third of the fish in ACANA Wild Coast is fresh and packed with goodness and flavor, while the remaining two-thirds are dried or made from oils to provide a concentrated, natural source of protein. Furthermore, all fish—a rarity among today's pet food producers—comes from animals deemed fit for human consumption. Compare this to traditional dog foods, which rarely contain authentic fresh meat. AN UNPARALLELED VARIETY OF FRESH MEATS (3)Dogs thrive on a variety of prey animals in nature. That's why ACANA Wild Coast features Pacific herring, halibut, and haddock—all in nutrient-rich WholePrey™ ratios of fish, organs, and cartilage—that mimic the natural diet, eliminating the need for synthetic additives found in conventional dog foods. Compare to conventional dog foods with their long list of synthetic additives, which only contain one or two, very rarely, WholePrey™ ratios of meat. LIMITED CARBOHYDRATES (30 ) Your dog's natural diet requires very little carbohydrates, a leading cause of obesity and diabetes. That's why ACANA limits carbohydrates, which make up nearly half of conventional foods, and uses whole oats as the only source of low-glycemic grains. Whole oats enter the bloodstream slowly, preventing spikes in blood sugar and reducing fat storage. Compare to conventional dog foods, which typically contain more than 50 carbohydrates and high-glycemic ingredients like potatoes, tapioca, and rice, which contribute to blood sugar spikes linked to obesity and diabetes.
