ACANA Heritage Meats Dog Food
From Kentucky comes ACANA Heritage Meats: a premium dog food with ingredients that reflect the diet of your dog’s wild ancestor: the wolf. Instead of supplementing the bulk of the food with unnecessary carbohydrates and synthetic supplements, ACANA prides itself on loading ACANA Heritage Meats dog food with 60% meat ingredients, which is about double the amount in most specialty dog foods. It avoids carbohydrates that are known to cause obesity and diabetes, such as rice and potato, and replaces them with low-glycemic fruits and vegetables. Fresh Angus beef, Yorkshire pork, and grass-fed lamb make up the majority of this delicious dog food that will provide a well-rounded, high quality diet for your meat eater.
ACANA’s philosophy is to give dogs the closest nutritional equivalent to their wolf cousins. Since dogs and wolves naturally meet their nutritional needs by consuming whole animals, ACANA Heritage Meats includes several parts of the animal: muscle meat contains protein, bones provide calcium and phosphorus, and liver, kidney, and tripe give dogs all the vitamins and minerals they need. This practice also allows ACANA to avoid supplementing the dog food with synthetic nutrients, creating a food with all of the good stuff, naturally.
When it comes to fresh ingredients, ACANA Heritage Meats is unmatched in America. Instead of outsourcing, this dog food is made with locally grown or raised products that are deemed “fit for human consumption” and then sent to ACANA’s kitchens fresh every day. About half of the meat in ACANA Heritage Meats is fresh, providing your dog with the most nourishing form of nutrients, and the other half is dried to supply a strong source of protein. The result? A food that your dog will love for its fresh, meaty taste and you will love for the amazing benefits a natural, healthy diet can have for your dog.
ACANA Heritage Meats comes with a guarantee that it is biologically appropriate. Though your dog might not look like a wolf, scientifically, his teeth, jaws, and digestive system have not evolved that much and he requires a meat-based diet. By choosing ACANA Heritage Meats, you are choosing a dog food that reflects the diet of his ancestors and provides the best form of natural nutrients to keep your dog happy, healthy, and strong.
ACANA Heritage Meats features an unmatched variety of local ingredients that are raised or fished by people we know and trust, passed “fit for human consumption”, and then delivered to our Kentucky DogStar® kitchens fresh each day!
