Acana Heritage Light & Fit is the ideal solution to help your dog lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, providing high-quality nutrition that won’t leave him feeling hungry. Its formula is rich in animal-based protein, which not only supports the maintenance of lean muscle mass but also increases feelings of fullness.
The "WholePrey" recipe includes meat, organs, and cartilage, naturally providing nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin—essential for joint health, which is often strained in dogs carrying extra weight. Soluble and insoluble fibers, sourced from a wide variety of fresh vegetables such as pumpkin and kale, promote healthy digestion and help your dog feel full longer, supporting an effective weight management plan.
Key Ingredients and Specific Benefits for Weight Management:
- High in Protein: a high concentration of chicken, turkey, and egg protein to support muscle mass.
- Low Fat Content: helps reduce overall calorie intake to promote weight loss.
- Fiber from Fruits and Vegetables: promotes satiety and healthy digestion.
- Natural Glucosamine and Chondroitin: support joint health, which is important for overweight dogs.
- Grain-Free: a grain-free formula that is also ideal for dogs with food sensitivities.
Directions for Use: Follow the feeding guidelines on the package, adjusting them to your dog’s age, weight, and activity level. For an effective weight loss plan, it is essential to stick to the recommended portions and consult your veterinarian.

Both puppies and adult dogs have very specific nutritional needs that have developed over the course of the species’ evolution.
ACANA Adult Large Breed dog food replicates the rich and varied mix of fresh, whole animal ingredients that dogs would naturally forage for 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 composed
up to 65% animal ingredients—about three times the meat content of most traditional 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-index 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.
