Rich In Meat
The ultimate food mimics the one Mother Nature intended your dog to eat!
Made with a full 60% of nourishing chicken, eggs, and fish, ACANA Wild Prairie matches your dog’s evolutionary adaptation to a meat & protein rich diet, and its variety of fresh, local meats mirrors the diversity of your dog’s natural diet.
- Cobb Chicken – cage-free and delivered fresh each day from local prairie farms
- Grade A Eggs – delivered fresh and whole each day from local prairie farms
- Wild-Caught Fish – our Northern Walleye and Lake Whitefish are sustainably caught and delivered fresh each day
- Passed fit for human consumption, our local ingredients are truly fresh – so they’re never frozen and arrive preservative-free each day.
Fresh, Local Fruits & Vegetables
In place of inappropriate cereal grains, ACANA Wild Prairie is loaded with a full 40% of fruits & vegetables including Red Delicious apples from the sun-drenched Okanagan valley, and butternut squash, Burbank potatoes and spinach greens from local prairie farms – all bursting with goodness to support peak health and immunity.
Grain-Free & Low Carbohydrate
Rich in protein and low in carbohydrates to match your dog’s natural diet, ACANA Wild Prairie is free of high glycemic grains (such as rice and corn) found in conventional dog foods.
Long associated with obesity and diabetes, high glycemic grains break down quickly, causing a rapid and large rise in your dog’s blood sugar.
Grain-free and low in carbohydrates, ACANA Wild Prairie causes your dog’s blood sugar to rise less over a longer period of time so her sensitivity to insulin is beneficially increased and fat storage is decreased to achieve peak conditioning.
Luxuriant Skin & Coat
We infused each morsel of ACANA Wild Prairie with marine-source Omega 3 (DHA, EPA) from wild-caught New Brunswick herring to support immunity and luxuriant skin & hair coat – your dog’s outer symbol of health and vitality.
Enhanced Metabolism
Organic sea vegetables and botanicals including juniper berries, lavender flowers, sun-cured alfalfa and peppermint leaf enhance metabolism while nourishing and toning your dog’s digestive tract.
Delivered Fresh Each Day
ACANA Wild Prairie 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 door fresh each day!

Designed For Carnivores
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 is loaded with nourishing meat proteins and fats, while limiting unwanted carbohydrates and high-glycemic grains.
Caloric Content
ACANA mirrors the meat and protein concentrated diets that all dogs are evolved to eat, while reducing the carbohydrates and high-glycemic grains that cause blood sugar levels to rise and fluctuate.
Compared to conventional foods, ACANA delivers more calories from protein and fat and fewer calories from carbohydrates, reducing the risk of obesity and diabetes and promoting your dog’s peak health.
Metabolic Energy for ACANA Wild Prairie Dog Food is 3615 kcal/kg (434 kcal per 250ml cup) with 30% of energy from protein, 40% from fat and 30% from fruits and vegetables.
Your Dog Is Special
Just like you, your dog is a unique individual and his feeding requirements will vary with his breed, environment, age and activity.
That’s why we suggest using this chart as a starting point, and monitoring your dog’s weight and adjusting his rations as needed. We also recommend feeding him twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available.
When switching diets, it’s important to transition your dog as it takes time for his digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ACANA. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ACANA, increasing the amount each day so that by day 7 you are feeding 100% ACANA.
He’ll love the change – we guarantee it!
