The gray wolf is the ancestor of all dogs. Despite centuries of breeding resulting in numerous ‘distinctive-looking wolves’, the fundamental biology of today's dogs remains similar to their wild relatives, which is why their dietary requirements are just as consistent.
Our celebrated Biologically Appropriate™ philosophy is straightforward: replicate the amount, freshness, and variety of meats that dogs have evolved to consume, while minimizing carbohydrates and artificial additives that do not belong in their natural diet.
Your dog is naturally designed for a meat-rich diet. That's why we packed ACANA Cobb Chicken & Greens with 60% meat, featuring cage-free chicken, wild-caught flounder, and whole nest-laid eggs sourced from local farms approved for human consumption.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MEAT
Today's dogs are constructed like their ancestors, and we believe they should eat accordingly.

TAILORED FOR CARNIVORES
While they may appear different, your dog shares anatomical traits with the gray wolf – indicating he has evolved as a carnivore, suited for a diet high in meat, protein, and fat.
With this biological truth in mind, we ensure that ACANA is rich in beneficial proteins and fats while limiting undesirable carbohydrates, reflecting the diet Mother Nature would provide for your dog.
YOUR DOG IS UNIQUE
ACANA caters to dogs of all breeds and sizes. Just like you, your dog has unique dietary needs that can vary based on their environment, age, and activity level.
The chart below serves as a reference point, which should be adjusted as necessary to maintain optimal weight and peak condition. We recommend monitoring your dog’s weight and modifying food portions as required. Feeding twice daily is suggested, along with providing fresh, clean water at all times.
† Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or slightly moistened. Regular veterinary check-ups are advised. For optimal freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry place.
