BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE
FISH AND MEAT-BASED FOODS THAT REFLECT YOUR DOG'S EVOLUTIONARY NUTRITION.
The gray wolf is the ancestor of all dogs. And while it has produced hundreds of "different-looking" wolves over the years, its digestive system hasn't changed, so it's no surprise that its nutritional needs have remained the same.
Our award-winning Biologically Appropriate philosophy is simple: limit carbohydrates and synthetic ingredients to reflect the quantity, freshness, and variety of meats dogs are naturally adapted to eat.
RICH IN FISH (p) AND PROTEIN (5)
- Your dog is a carnivore and biologically needs a diet rich in meat. Equipped with sharp teeth, a single-jointed jaw, and a short digestive tract, domestic dogs are anatomically designed to break down the proteins and fats from meat.
- That's why we've filled ACANA Pacifica with wild-caught sardines, haddock, and rockfish from Vancouver Island—all of which were deemed fit for human consumption before being added to our food.
- Completely free of pea and potato protein concentrates, ACANA derives its rich protein content from animal ingredients (not plants), supporting lean muscle mass and providing your dog with complete nutrition.
HIGH FRESH MEAT INGREDIENTS (1 2)
- We use fresh fish in its most natural and nutritious form. That's why ACANA Pacifica is ½ fresh fish, and the other ½ dried or oiled to provide a concentrated source of nutritious fish protein.
A WIDE VARIETY OF FISH (5)
- Think of the variety offered by a natural diet: eggs today, a duck or goose tomorrow, fresh fish the next. Mother Nature provides a variety of proteins and fats to keep dogs in peak health.
- That's why ACANA Pacifica offers a variety of fish—wild-caught herring, sardines, halibut, haddock, and rockfish—all in nutrient-rich WholePrey ratios of fish, organs, and cartilage.
WHOLEPREY RATIOS
- In her infinite wisdom, Mother Nature has combined the essential nutrients in whole fish to perfectly meet your dog's needs. Fish provides protein and fat organs provide vitamins and minerals bones and cartilage provide calcium and phosphorus.
- ACANA uses a natural diet, providing fish, organs, and cartilage in WholePrey proportions, keeping nutrients highly bioavailable—significantly reducing the need for synthetic vitamins or supplements.
LIMITED CARBOHYDRATE ( )
- Carbohydrates aren't part of your dog's nutritional requirements, and even in a natural diet, they're minimal. While carbohydrates are known to be a major contributor to obesity and diabetes, conventional dog foods typically contain more than 100 carbohydrates.
- That's why ACANA limits total carbohydrates, replacing fast-digesting carbohydrates like rice, tapioca, and potatoes with healthy, low-glycemic fruits and vegetables like squash and greens. These enter the bloodstream slowly, preventing spikes in blood sugar and preventing potential fat storage.
