ACANA Adult Large Breed dog food replicates the rich and varied mix of fresh, whole animal ingredients that dogs would find in the wild. The concept of BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE explained in 5 points
1. A RICH VARIETY OF FRESH MEATS
In nature, dogs eat a diet consisting of various types of prey; that’s why ACANA contains
a wide variety of animal ingredients (white meat, red meat, and fish)—all locally sourced and delivered fresh.
2. RICH IN MEAT AND PROTEIN
Dogs are carnivores that require a diet rich in meat and protein. ACANA is made up
of up to 65% animal ingredients—about three times the meat content of most traditional dog foods.
3. LOW CARBOHYDRATE CONTENT
A dog’s natural diet contains very few carbohydrates, which is why ACANA features extremely low levels of them, and only from low-glycemic plant sources, excluding rapidly digestible grains (such as corn and rice).
4. FRESH, WHOLE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Instead of grains (such as rice and corn) that cause sharp spikes in blood sugar, ACANA contains fresh fruits and vegetables, which provide fiber and antioxidants in a natural and bioavailable form.
5. HEALTHY HERBS
By providing the elements dogs find in nature, the added homeopathic essences stimulate metabolism, strengthen organs, and help the body eliminate toxins.
