PUPPY SMALL BREED
FOR SMALL BREED PUPPIES WEIGHING 9 KG (20 LBS) AT MATURITY
To support their rapid physical development, small breed puppies require a diet rich in proteins and fats from a diversity of meats.
That’s why ACANA Puppy Small Breed is loaded with cage-free chicken and whole eggs from local farms, wild-caught flounder from North Vancouver Island, and sun-ripened Okanagan fruits & vegetables – all delivered fresh for unmatched nourishment and flavor.
Prepared from Canada’s best and freshest ingredients, ACANA keeps your cherished dog healthy and strong.
RICH & IN MEAT
The ultimate food mimics the one Mother Nature intended your dog to eat!
Loaded with 65% of meat (about twice as much as conventional puppy foods), ACANA matches your puppy’s evolutionary adaptation to a meat and protein rich diet, while its fresh meat variety mirrors the diversity and freshness Nature intended.
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 Flounder – delivered fresh each day from North Vancouver’s pristine waters
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
ACANA Puppy Small Breed features a full 20% of healthful fruits & vegetables, including Red Delicious apples, Bartlett pears, spinach greens, butternut squash and Burbank potatoes – all delivered fresh (never frozen, no preservatives) from our rich prairie soils and the sun-drenched Okanagan valley.
LOW CARBOHYDRATE & LOW GLYCEMIC
Rich in protein and low in carbohydrates to match your dog’s natural diet, ACANA Puppy Small Breed 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 puppy’s blood sugar. That’s why low glycemic steel-cut oats are ACANA‘s only source of grain.
Locally grown, our steel-cut are digested slowly, causing your puppy’s blood sugar to rise less over a longer period of time, so sensitivity to insulin is beneficially increased and fat storage is decreased – all of which means a happier, healthier puppy.
LUXURIANT SKIN & COAT
We infused each morsel of ACANA Puppy Small Breed 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 puppy’s sensitive digestive tract
DELIVERED FRESH EACH DAY
ACANA Puppy Small Breed 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!
