Description
Acana Heritage Adult Large Breed Dog Food is specifically developed for Large breed dogs, who just like his wild cousins, is a carnivore, possessing a biological need for a diet rich and varied in fresh whole meats.
That’s why Acana Heritage Adult Large Breed is loaded with free-run chicken, wild-caught flounder and nest-laid eggs, in WholePrey ratios that nourish naturally, without long lists of synthetic additives. Because excess weight can stress bones and joints, Acana is free of fast carbohydrates such as tapioca or potato, providing extra meat proteins to promote lean muscle mass while managing body fat.
- 60% meat.
- Contains 3 fresh meats – cage free chicken, nest laid eggs and wild flounder.
- Only one supplement – zinc.
Biologically Appropriate: This means that ingredients mirror the quantity, freshness and variety of meats that dogs are evolved to eat, while limiting the carbohydrates and synthetic ingredients that don’t belong in your dog’s natural diet.
Rich in Meat – 60%: This diet consists of 60% meat, including cage-free chicken, wild-caught flounder and whole nest-laid eggs sourced from regional farms deemed fit for human consumption.
Variety of Whole Meats: This diet features a diversity of free-run chicken, whole eggs and whole fish, all in richly nourishing WholePrey ratios of meat, organs and cartilage that mimic the natural diet, eliminating the long lists of synthetic additives in conventional dog foods.
Low in Carbohydrates: A dog’s natural diet contains very few carbohydrates, which are recognized as a leading cause of obesity and diabetes. That’s why ACANA limits carbohydrates and replaces fast carbohydrates such as rice, potato and tapioca with low-glycemic fruits and vegetables.
Made in award-winning kitchens from Canada’s best and freshest ingredients, biologically appropriate Acana is guaranteed to keep your puppy happy and strong.

We changed to this food after extensively researching which dog food had the best nutritional content. We already bought good food before, but Acana got better rating so we made the switch and if you could see the excited reaction of our dog when we first opened it, you would be convinced that this food smells mighty fine to dogs.
I was a but worried initially that our golden retriever would go hungry when feeding her as per the guidelines (135 g per meal) but she seems fine. It is annoying that there is no feeding guide printed on the bag, and we had to look it up on the Acana website and print it out, which is inconvenient. But that is my only gripe with this product.
Pet Planet Says: Thank you for your review.
We do have the feeding guide included on the website beside each product.
Kind Regards PetPlanet Customer Care
Healthy Dog Food

Researched dog food extensively.
My previous GSDogs had suffered from yeast and wheat allergies eating other dried foods.
This food has been excellent and have I fed my dog for the last 5 years exclusively with Acana Adult Large Breed, with the occasional addition of oily fish (Sardines or Mackerel) for interest.
This is the healthiest dog I have ever had.
I completely recommend this food. Just make sure there is always plenty of fresh water available
Its worth it

I had been feeding my Dogue De Bordeaux's Orijen adult but as they started maturing the protein content was too high for them.I mix the Acana which is of the same high quality as Orijen together but lower in protein and they have been thriving on it.
The ingredients are fantastic with no fillers or cheap bulking ingredients!
The breed is prone to skin conditions and allergies,i have 2 happy,healthy and glossy coated dogues who love their mealtimes.
