ACANA Classics Wild Coast Dog Food

ACANA Classics Wild Coast Dog Food

ACANA Classics Wild Coast Dog Food is a fish-based dog food that supplies nourishing protein and omega-3 fatty acids from sustainable, wild-caught fish. It suits South African dog owners who want a biologically appropriate, carnivore-focused diet with low-glycemic carbohydrates to support their dog's peak health and physical conditioning.

Key Benefits

• Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids from sustainable, wild-caught fish, to support peak health and physical conditioning.
• 50% fish, with no plant protein concentrates. That is up to twice as much fish as most pet specialty dog foods.
• Three fresh fish in WholePrey™ ratios: fish, organs and cartilage supply nutrients naturally and completely.
• No high-glycemic carbohydrates. Low-glycemic, locally grown steel-cut oats help promote stable blood sugar and peak physical conditioning.
• Only 5 supplements are added: Vitamins B5 and E, choline, zinc and copper.
• Prepared in award-winning NorthStar® kitchens with fresh, trusted, regional ingredients.

Why Fish, and Why Whole Prey?

Dogs can eat the foods of their ancestors, and they actually require them for peak health. Modern dogs are built like their ancestors, so this recipe is made to be eaten like them. Mother Nature matched the nutrients in whole fish, fowl and game to meet a dog's needs. In nature there are no synthetic supplements. Dogs and wolves get what they need by eating whole prey:

• Muscle meat provides protein.
• Liver, kidney and tripe supply vitamins and minerals.
• Bones and cartilage deliver calcium and phosphorus.

Wild Coast follows the same thinking. Its rich fish content and WholePrey™ inclusions supply nutrients in the most natural way possible, which is why supplementation is limited to Vitamins B5, E, choline, zinc and copper.

The Three Meat Questions

To tell whether a dog food is Biologically Appropriate™, ask three simple questions about the meat:

• How much meat? This recipe is entirely free of plant protein concentrates and contains 50% fish.
• How much fresh meat? One third of the fish is fresh, supplying essential nutrients in their most nourishing form. The other two thirds are dried fish or oils, a concentrated, natural source of protein.
• How many meats? There are 3 fresh fish in WholePrey™ ratios, including fish, organs and cartilage.

The Fish

• Pacific Herring: whole and fresh from Canada's North Pacific.
• Arrowtooth Flounder: whole and fresh from Canada's North Pacific.
• Pacific Hake: whole and fresh from Canada's North Pacific.

The sustainable fish are wild-caught off North Vancouver Island's cold Pacific waters. They are brought to the kitchen fresh and whole, so they are full of goodness and taste.

Designed for Carnivores

Dogs may look different, but they share their anatomy with the grey wolf. They evolved as carnivores and are adapted to a diet rich in meat, protein and fat. To produce a nutritional analysis that mirrors the diet Mother Nature would provide, this recipe features richly nourishing proteins and fats and limits unwanted carbohydrates.
