MEAT-BASED FOODS THAT REFLECT YOUR CAT'S EVOLUTIONARY DIET.
The Near Eastern wildcat is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. And over the years, they have produced hundreds of cats with different appearances, but the digestive systems of both the wild and domestic cat have remained unchanged, so it's no surprise that their nutritional needs have remained the same.
Our award-winning Biologically Appropriate philosophy is simple: to reflect the amount, freshness, and variety of meat cats evolved to eat by limiting carbohydrates and synthetic ingredients not found in their natural diet.
RICH IN PROTEIN (7) AND MEAT (u)
Your cat 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 Wild Prairie with meats including free-run chicken, turkey, whole nest-laid eggs, and wild-caught fish—all deemed fit for human consumption before adding them to our diet.
Completely free of pea and potato protein concentrates, ACANA derives its rich protein from animal ingredients (not plants), supporting lean muscle and nourishing your cat thoroughly.
HIGH FRESH MEAT INGREDIENTS (1 2)
We use fresh meats in their most natural and nutritious form. That's why half of the poultry and fish in ACANA Wild Prairie is fresh meat, while the other half is cured meat or fat to provide a concentrated source of nutritious meat protein.
A WIDE VARIETY OF MEATS (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 cats in peak health.
That's why ACANA Wild Prairie offers a variety of free-run chicken, whole eggs, and wild-caught fish—all in nutrient-rich WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage—that mimic the natural diet.
WHOLEPREY RATIOS
In her infinite wisdom, Mother Nature has combined the essential nutrients in all animals to perfectly meet the needs of cats. Muscle provides protein and fat organs provide vitamins and minerals and bones and cartilage provide calcium and phosphorus.
ACANA provides meat, organs, and cartilage in WholePrey ratios, keeping nutrients highly bioavailable—significantly reducing the need for synthetic vitamins or supplements.
LIMITED CARBOHYDRATE ( )
Carbohydrates are not part of your cat's nutritional requirements, and even in a natural diet, they are very low. While carbohydrates are known to be one of the primary causes of obesity and diabetes, conventional cat foods generally contain more carbohydrates than just 20 .
That's why ACANA limits total carbohydrates, replacing fast-digesting carbohydrates like rice, tapioca, and potatoes with healthy, low-glycemic fruits and vegetables like zucchini and greens. These enter the bloodstream slowly, preventing spikes in blood sugar and preventing potential fat storage.
YOUR CAT IS UNIQUE
Cats of all breeds and age stages can benefit from ACANA. Just like you, your cat is unique, and nutritional needs vary depending on their environment, age, and activity level. The table below provides a starting point that can be adjusted as needed. Feed your cat twice a day and always have fresh water available.
† Use a standard 250ml 120g measuring cup. Serve dry or slightly moistened. Consult your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend tightly closing the bag 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, maximizing your cat's health and development by reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes.
Metabolizable energy is 4100 kcal kg (492 kcal per 250 ml 120 g serving), 36 of which comes from protein, 22 from fruits and vegetables, and 1 from fat.
