BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE™
FOODS BASED ON ANIMAL INGREDIENTS THAT REFLECT THE DOG'S EVOLUTIONARY DIET
The gray wolf is the ancestor of all dogs. Although years and years of breeding have produced "different-looking wolves," their internal functions have remained unchanged, so it's no wonder their dietary needs are unchanged.
Our Biologically Appropriate food philosophy is simple: reproduce the quantity, freshness and variety of animal ingredients that dogs evolved with, while limiting carbohydrate content and synthetic ingredients that are not part of a dog's natural diet.
RICH IN ANIMAL INGREDIENTS (50%) AND PROTEINS (31%)
The dog is carnivorous and, from a biological point of view, has evolved by eating a diet rich in meat. With their sharp teeth, single-jointed jaw and short digestive tract, dogs are anatomically designed to break down proteins and fats from meat.
For this reason ACANA Yorkshire Pork contains 50% Yorkshire pork raised locally on Alberta farms – all declared fit for human consumption.
Completely free from potato and pea protein concentrates, ACANA's high protein content comes from animal (non-vegetable) ingredients, which promote lean muscle mass and provide dogs with all the nutrients they need.
HIGH AMOUNT OF FRESH ANIMAL INCLUSIONS (1/2)
We use fresh animal ingredients in their most nutritious and natural form. For this reason, 1/2 of the pork in ACANA Yorkshire Pork is fresh and 1/2 is dehydrated, to provide a concentrated source of rich animal proteins.
ONLY ONE ANIMAL PROTEIN SOURCE (1)
ACANA Yorkshire Pork contains only one protein source and is in the proportions of the whole prey (WholePrey™) of meat, organs and cartilage that reproduce the natural diet to provide all the nutrients that dogs need to grow at their best.
ANIMAL INGREDIENTS IN WHOLE PREY PROPORTIONS (WHOLEPREY™)
With her infinite wisdom, Mother Nature ensured that animals, in their entirety, contained all the nutrients necessary to perfectly satisfy the dietary needs of dogs. Muscle meat contains protein and fat; internal organs provide vitamins and minerals; bones and cartilage provide calcium and phosphorus.
ACANA ingredients are in WholePrey™ ratios of meat, organs and cartilage that deliver nutrients in a highly bioavailable form – dramatically reducing the need to add vitamins or synthetic additives to our foods.
CARBOHYDRATES LIMITED TO (30%)
The dog's nutritional needs do not include carbohydrates and their content in his diet is low or non-existent. It has been established that carbohydrates are one of the main causes of obesity and diabetes - despite this, common dog foods often contain over 50% of them.
For this reason, ACANA limits the overall carbohydrate content and replaces fast-digesting carbohydrates, such as those from rice, tapioca and potatoes, with low-glycemic index fruits and vegetables such as pumpkin and other vegetables. The latter enter the blood slowly, allowing you to avoid spikes in blood glucose levels and reducing the potential accumulation of fat.
