KNOW YOUR MEAT MATH?

MOTHER NATURE MATCHED THE NUTRIENTS IN WHOLE GAME, FISH OR FOWL TO PERFECTLY MEET THE NEEDS OF YOUR DOG.

LIMITED INGREDIENTS SHOULDN’T MEAN LESS MEAT.

Modern dogs are built like their ancestors and we believe they should eat like them, too. How do you know if your dog’s food is Biologically Appropriate^™? Simple. Just answer our Biologically Appropriate^™ ‘three meat questions’.

HOW MUCH MEAT?

Entirely free of plant protein concentrates, ACANA Lamb & Apple is loaded with 50% lamb — up to twice as much as most limited ingredient dog foods. Plus, all our lamb is deemed fit for human consumption prior to inclusion in our foods.
HOW MUCH FRESH MEAT?

1/2 of the lamb in ACANA Lamb & Apple is FRESH or RAW, supplying essential nutrients in their most nourishing form. Fresh means never frozen, so refrigeration is the only way we preserve our fresh meats, while our raw meats are flash-frozen at the source to lock in goodness. The other half is dried or oils to provide a strong and natural source of richly nourishing lamb protein and fat.
HOW MANY MEATS?

ACANA Lamb & Apple features fresh and raw lamb meat, organs and cartilage in WholePrey™ ratios that supply nutrients naturally and completely.

ZINC | OUR ONE AND ONLY SUPPLEMENT

In nature there are no synthetic supplements, and dogs and wolves derive all of their nutritional needs by consuming whole prey animals. Muscle meat provides protein; liver, kidney and tripe supply vitamins and minerals; while bones and cartilage deliver calcium and phosphorus.

ACANA mirrors the natural diet, applying our Meat Math and incorporating WholePrey^™meat, organs and cartilage in ratios that deliver nutrients naturally, providing a concentrated source of virtually every nutrient your dog needs to thrive, which is why virtually all of the nutrients in ACANA Lamb & Apple are naturally present, thus eliminating the need for long lists of additives. That’s why zinc is our only added supplement.

AMERICA’S BEST AND FRESHEST INGREDIENTS

OUR ONLY SUPPLEMENT: ZINC.

Your dog is a carnivore and shares his anatomy with the gray wolf – which means his body, teeth and jaws, and short digestive tract is adapted for a diet rich in meat, protein, and fat.

Based on this biological fact, and to produce a nutritional analysis that mirrors the diet Mother Nature would provide for your dog, ACANA Lamb & Apple is rich in nourishing proteins and fats, while limiting unwanted carbohydrates.

YOUR DOG IS SPECIAL

ACANA Lamb & Apple benefits dogs of every breed and size. Just like you, your dog is a unique individual and his feeding requirements will vary with environment, age and activity.

The table below provides a starting point, to be adjusted as needed to maintain optimum weight and peak conditioning. We suggest monitoring your dog’s weight and adjusting amounts as needed. We recommend feeding twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available.

When switching diets, it’s important to transition your dog as it takes time for his digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ACANA. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ACANA, increasing the amount each day so that by day 7 you are feeding 100% ACANA.

He’ll love the change – we guarantee it!

† Use a standard 8-ounce measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.

ACANA Lamb & Apple is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.
