Analysis
DESIGNED FOR CARNIVORES
Your dog is a carnivore and shares his anatomy with the gray wolf – which means his body, teeth and jaws, and short digestive tract is 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 Pork & Squash is rich in nourishing proteins and fats, while limiting unwanted carbohydrates.
