ACANA BEEF & PUMPKIN

BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATEMEAT-BASED FOODS THAT MIRROR YOUR DOG’S EVOLUTIONARY DIET.

The gray wolf is ancestor to all domestic dogs. While years of breeding have produced hundreds of “different-looking wolves,” the internal workings of modern dogs and their wolf cousins remain unchanged, so it’s no surprise that their dietary needs remain the same too.

Our award-winning Biologically Appropriate philosophy is simple: mirror the quantity, freshness and variety of meats that dogs are evolved to eat, while limiting the long lists of synthetic ingredients that don’t belong in your dog’s natural diet.

• RICH IN MEAT (60%)

• HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (1/2)

• WHOLEPREY BEEF 

• RICH IN MEAT PROTEIN (31%)

• FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES (26%)

Deboned beef, beef meal, whole lentils, beef liver, beef fat, whole peas, lentil fiber, pea starch, pumpkin, natural beef flavor, pollock oil, beef tripe, beef cartilage, salt, mixed tocopherols (preservative), zinc proteinate, dried kelp, taurine, freeze dried beef liver, copper proteinate, chicory root, turmeric, dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried bifidobacterium animalis fermentation product, dried lactobacillus casei fermentation product.

Your dog is a carnivore and shares his anatomy with the gray wolf – which means his body, short digestive tract, and teeth and jaws are 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 Beef & Pumpkin is rich in nourishing proteins and fats, while excluding rice, potato and tapioca and long lists of synthetic ingredients found in some dog foods.
