Acana Pacifica is designed for those who want a daily diet centered around fish as the primary nutritional component. The recipe emphasizes high-quality animal proteins and natural sources of Omega-3 (EPA/DHA), which help support healthy skin, coat, and the body’s inflammatory response. The grain-free approach reduces the use of grains, focusing on functional and easily digestible ingredients; the kibble is designed to be appetizing even for the pickiest dogs.
The balanced nutritional profile helps to:
-
support muscle mass with high-biological-value animal proteins;
-
promote supple skin and a shiny coat thanks to natural Omega-3s from fish;
-
contribute to digestive well-being with selected fibers and a formulation designed for tolerability;
-
provide steady energy for your dog’s daily activities.
Acana Pacifica is a complete food: it can be used as the sole basis of a meal, or alternated/combined with complete wet foods to increase variety and hydration, while maintaining the right caloric balance.

Recommended Daily Amount
When changing your dog’s diet, it is important to make a gradual transition, as the digestive system needs time to adjust to the change in diet and the higher nutrient levels in ACANA. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ACANA, increasing the proportion each day, so that by the end of the 7 days, 100% of the meal consists of ACANA.
