They might look different, but your dog shares his anatomy with the grey wolf – which means he’s evolved as a carnivore and 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 features richly nourishing proteins and fats.

Just like you, your dog is unique with feeding requirements that vary with environment, age and activity. The feeding guide 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 rations as needed. We recommend feeding twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available † Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened.

Excellent well balanced dog food , my rotti love it
Really happy with our order as always. Our lab/poodle/golden retriever dog loves this food. Very quick delivery and it was really nice to get a free sample! Thank you :)
My dog Spencer loved this food. Not one day did he not eat all of it. His attention level, the shininess of his coat, the solidness of his sleep and his energy levels definitely improved after about a week of eating it. While eating this food his general well being seemed to benefit. I would definitely recommend this food and Pet Direct. Pet Direct have always been super friendly to us, postage super quick and advice to try this food was spot on! 100% happy with this product and Pet Direct to get it to us no trouble!
