About ACANA
The name “ACANA” is derived from the agricultural region of Alberta, Canada, and the food is made using truly “fresh” ingredients (using raw meat, raw vegetables, and fruits that are incorporated into the manufacturing process without freezing, heating, chemical substances, or preservatives).
ACANA’s concept of ‘Biologically Appropriate Pet Food’ is a food that replicates the natural diet of meat-eating dogs and cats, which originally preyed on herbivores.
・No artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives added in the kitchen
・No use of ingredients such as soy, corn, tapioca, or wheat in the kitchen
These points make it reliable for you to use.
Moreover, dogs and cats require protein even more than we do. ACANA uses about 60% of ingredients certified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, including chicken, flounder, or lamb, ensuring sufficient protein intake.
Additionally, all the carbohydrates used are of low GI. Avoiding the use of wheat and opting for gluten-free options leads to fewer allergies and also helps protect the digestive tract of dogs. Digestive health is a key to maintaining immunity, and because of low GI, it also helps to prevent blood sugar spikes and reduces vascular damage.

ACANA’s dog and cat foods are high in protein compared to commercially available foods, making them not only ideal for maintaining health but also recommended for pets with tumors or diabetes looking to restrict carbohydrates.
However, one point to note is that ACANA products tend to be relatively high in fat. While fat is not inherently bad, in the case of dry food, ‘oxidation’ starts from the moment it is manufactured. Oxidized oil can cling to the insides of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, impairing circulation, and it can also strain the liver, which metabolizes fats.
Therefore, we recommend using the product within 10 days after opening, so it might be better to purchase smaller packages. If only small amounts are consumed, we recommend dividing the contents into smaller portions, vacuum packing them, or placing them in a ziplock bag with an oxygen absorber and desiccant, storing them in a cool, dry place.
There are various types available, so rotating between small packages to avoid your pet getting bored with the taste might be a good idea.
Your pet’s body is built on what they eat every day. Please aim to maintain the health of your beloved dog or cat by incorporating various foods and homemade meals.
