3 BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE MEAT-BASED FOODS THAT MIRROR YOUR DOG S EVOLUTIONARY DIET The gray wolf is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic dogs. And while years of breeding has produced hundreds of different looking wolves, the internal workings of wolves and dogs remain unchanged. In fact, the eating anatomy of modern dogs is the same as their wolf cousins, so it s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too. OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PRINCIPLES ARE SIMPLE: MIRROR THE QUANTITY, FRESHNESS AND VARIETY OF MEATS THAT NATURE EVOLVED DOGS TO EAT. ACANA s richly nourishing meat inclusions mirror your dog s evolutionary diet, excluding high-glycemic carbohydrates, vegetable proteins, synthetic additives and anything else that nature didn t intend your dog to eat. 4 THE GRAY WOLF GENETIC COUSIN TO ALL BREEDS OF DOM ESTIC DOG.

4 BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE RICH IN MEAT RICH IN PROTEIN ACANA IS MADE WITH 50% TO 75% MEAT INGREDIENTS COMPANION DOGS ARE NOT ONLY CAPABLE OF EATING THE FOODS OF THEIR ANCESTORS, BUT ACTUALLY REQUIRE IT FOR PEAK HEALTH. Just like their wild cousins, domestic dogs are equipped with sharp teeth, a short digestive tract and a body evolved to metabolize protein and fat from meat. With high meat inclusions (up to 75%), over 95% of ACANA s protein is derived from animal sources, nourishing your dog according to his evolutionary needs.

KODI ODIAK, AL ASKA. A. BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE UNMATCHED FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS UP TO HALF OF MEAT INGREDIENTS ARE FRESH OR RAW FRESH MEATS MIRROR THE NATURAL DIET, SUPPLYING NUTRIENTS IN THEIR FRESHEST, MOST NATURAL FORM. That s why up to 50% of the meats, fish, poultry and eggs that go into ACANA are fresh or raw, and loaded with goodness and taste. To preserve the integrity of our fresh ingredients, we prepare ACANA at low temperatures (90C/195F). UP TO HALF OF ACANA S MEATS ARE FRESH OR RAW, PROVIDING THE FLAVOURS AND GOODNESS THAT DOGS INSTINCTIVELY CRAVE. Refrigeration is the only means of preservation for our fresh meats, and our raw meats are flash-frozen at their peak to lock in their natural goodness. All meat ingredients are from animals deemed fit for human consumption, a rarity among North American pet food makers.

In nature, dogs and wolves derive their nutritional needs by consuming whole prey animals. Muscle meat provides protein and fat; organs such as liver and tripe supply vitamins and minerals; bones and cartilage provide calcium and phosphorus. ACANA WholePrey foods incorporate meat, organs and cartilage in ratios that mirror Mother Nature, delivering nutrients naturally, thus dramatically reducing the need to add synthetic vitamins or amino-acid supplements to our foods. VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE NUTRIENTS IN ACANA ARE NATURAL AND NOT SYNTHETIC. SUPERFOOD FOR DOGS COMPARED TO MUSCLE MEAT, ORGAN MEATS ARE DENSELY PACKED WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY NUTRIENT YOUR DOG NEEDS, INCLUDING ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS, FATTY ACIDS, VITAMINS AND MINERALS.
