Feeding
YOUR CAT IS SPECIAL
ACANA benefits cats of every variety. Just like you, your cat is unique and feeding requirements will vary with environment, age, and activity. The table found in the product images provides a starting point, to be adjusted as needed. We recommend feeding twice daily and always keeping fresh water available.
† Use a standard 250ml/120g measuring cup. Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.
CALORIE DISTRIBUTION
Unique compared to conventional foods, ACANA delivers more calories from protein and fat and fewer calories from carbohydrates, reducing the risk of obesity and promoting your cat’s peak health.
Metabolizable Energy is 4100 kcal/kg (492 kcal per 250ml/120g cup), with 36 % from protein, 22 % from fruits and vegetables, and 42 % from fat.
Nature's Rules
BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE
MEAT-BASED FOODS THAT MIRROR YOUR CAT’S EVOLUTIONARY DIET.
The Near Eastern wildcat is the ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. While years of breeding has produced hundreds of ‘different-looking cats’, the internal workings of wild and domestic cats remain unchanged, so it’s no surprise that their dietary needs remain the same too.
Our award-winning Biologically Appropriate philosophy is simple: mirror the quantity, freshness, and variety of meats that cats have evolved to eat, while limiting synthetic ingredients that don’t belong in a cat’s natural diet.
RICH IN MEAT (75%) AND PROTEIN (37%)
- Your cat is a carnivore and biologically adapted for a diet rich in meat. Equipped with sharp teeth, a single-hinge jaw, and a short digestive tract, domestic cats are anatomically designed to break down protein and fat from meat.
- That’s why we loaded ACANA Wild Prairie with 75% meat from free-run chicken % turkey and wild-caught fish, as well as cage-free eggs.
- Free of grains or gluten, ACANA derives its rich protein content from animal ingredients, not plants, supporting lean muscle mass and nourishing your cat completely.
HIGH FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONS (1/2)
- We use fresh meat in its most natural and nourishing form. That’s why ½ of the poultry and fish in ACANA Wild Prairie is fresh, and 1/2 is dried or oils to provide a concentrated source of nourishing meat protein.
AN ABUNDANT VARIETY OF MEAT
- Consider the variety in the natural diet: eggs today, a duck or goose tomorrow, fresh fish the next. Mother Nature provides a diversity of protein and fat essential to the peak health of cats.
- That’s why ACANA Wild Prairie features a diversity of free-run chicken & turkey and wild-caught fish, plus cage-free eggs, all in richly nourishing WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone that mimic the natural diet.
WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS
- Mother Nature matched the nutrients in whole animals to perfectly meet your cat’s needs. Muscle meat provides protein and fat; organs supply vitamins and minerals; and cartilage and bone provide calcium and phosphorus.
- ACANA features WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage or bone that deliver nutrients in highly bioavailable forms, dramatically reducing the need to add synthetic vitamins or supplements to our foods.
