 ACANA's
“Eat well - Live Long” philosophy is a dedicated program of science-based
pet food formulation, government-certified ingredient quality assurance and
total food safety. This commitment assures each ACANA diet is produced to
meet and exceed the standard of “Canada's highest quality pet food”.
Dogs and cats are best fed
as carnivores, which is why ACANA diets are meat concentrated, boasting a
chicken or lamb inclusion rate between 40% and 60 percent -- one of the
highest rates in the pet food industry. Whether hormone-free chicken or
lamb, or wild-caught salmon, all meat ingredients are from
federally-inspected meats that are declared fit for human consumption. These
superior ingredients provide total food safety, outstanding palatability,
and optimum nutritional value and digestibility.
ACANA is also defined by what it is not. ACANA does not contain artificial
colors, flavors, or preservatives.
And because dogs and cats cannot easily digest, and often react adversely
to vegetable proteins or high-starch foods, all ACANA diets are low-starch
and do not contain corn, wheat or gluten.
True to our formulation philosophy, we believe that vegetable-based proteins
do not belong in premium pet foods – and we refuse to compromise these
values.

ACANA
Premium Chicken/Oatmeal formula
Primary dietary considerations for normally
active adult dogs are maintaining optimal body mass, supporting digestive
health, and conditioning the skin and coat. This exceptional adult dog diet
is literally bursting with human-grade chicken meat ingredients (50%) that
are rich in essential amino acids to support tissue repair and lean muscle
mass.
Moderate dietary fat and reduced carbohydrate (28%) help promote a healthy
body weight, and L-carnitine helps to convert body fat into useable energy.
Premium herring and flax oils supply essential fatty acids (including DHA
and EPA) to support immune functions and nourish the skin and coat, while
ocean-source glucosamine and chondroitin promote healthy joints. Easily
digested oatmeal is supplemented with probiotics (MOS, FOS) to nourish
intestinal flora and enhance digestive health. Steamed fruits and vegetables
with organic minerals and botanicals supply antioxidants in the healthiest
possible way.
To ensure the optimal assimilation of all nutrients, ACANA Premium Adult is
formulated from a base of highly digestible and exceptionally palatable
human-grade chicken ingredients (50%). Chicory (FOS) and yeast (MOS)
extracts with sugarless beet pulp are special carbohydrates that restrict

improving digestion and nutrient absorption. A beautiful coat and soft,
supple skin is a hallmark of good health. To provide for the hair and skin
of adult dogs, ACANA contains easily absorbed chelated zinc and ingredients
rich in omega 3 and omega 6 - essential fatty acids that are guaranteed to
produce a show quality haircoat.
Dogs can't easily digest vegetable proteins, and diets that are high in
wheat and gluten ingredients are known to contribute to loose stool and
dietary upset. Vets, nutritionists and pet specialists agree that low-starch
diets, free of wheat and gluten ingredients, can significantly reduce the
risk of dietary upset in all dogs, while promoting firm and small stool.

palates and can be choosy when it comes to food. ACANA is highly
concentrated in chicken ingredients with intense natural flavors that appeal
to finicky dogs and encourage a vigorous appetite, while also providing
smaller-size kibbles for small mouths.
Small and miniature breed dogs are often active and playful, and
require more energy than larger breeds. As small breed dogs are also prone

absorption while minimizing the risk of digestive upset or allergic reaction

corn, wheat and gluten ingredients, can significantly reduce the risk of
dietary upset in all dogs, while promoting firm and small stool.

(>47%) - ingredients that are highly palatable and rich in easily-digested

natural source glucosamine and chondroitin to support strong, solid bones
and healthy joints.

puppies. Like children, puppies often do what they shouldn't - including
chewing and eating things that aren't meant as food. To help support and

omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids, as well as supplemental antioxidants
that include lutein and Vitamin C.

Large breed puppies may transition onto adult formula foods at 8-10 months
of age. Always keep fresh, clean water available.
