💪 Fewer calories, same quality proteins
Chicken fat reduced to 1.5% (vs 8% in Acana Adult). Animal proteins preserved: chicken (41% total between fresh and meal), turkey, eggs, hake, herring. No added grain. Made in Canada.
⚖️ How do I know if my dog is overweight?
The simple test: you should be able to feel the ribs without seeing them (without pressing hard). If you have to push through the fat to feel them, your dog is probably overweight. Another indicator: the top-down silhouette should show a defined waist behind the ribs. From the side, the abdomen should tuck up toward the rear, not line up with the chest. If you're unsure, we can do the assessment together in store.
💪 Why keep protein high during weight loss?
A common mistake: choosing a food low in protein to help a dog lose weight. Result: the dog loses muscle in addition to fat, which slows metabolism and encourages weight regain. Acana Light & Fit does the opposite: reduces calories (the fat) but keeps the protein to preserve muscle. It's the modern approach to weight control, backed by nutritional research.
Fresh chicken (21%) as the first ingredient + chicken meal (20%) = 41% poultry. Protein stays high to help preserve muscle.
Chicken fat reduced to 1.5%—this is where the main calorie reduction comes from.
Fresh chicken organs (5%), turkey meal (5%), fresh eggs (4%), raw hake (4%), herring meal (3%), raw turkey liver (0.5%).
Fish oil (1%) and herring meal (3%): DHA and EPA for skin, coat, and joint function.

For an effective weight-loss program, the ration is calculated based on the dog's target weight, not its current weight. Weight loss should be slow: 1 to 2% of body weight per week maximum. For a personalized calculation, contact our team. Also remember to reduce or eliminate high-calorie treats during this period (opt for single-protein freeze-dried treats or crunchy vegetable pieces like carrot).
Both have reduced calories compared with Acana Adult. Light & Fit is aimed at weight control for overweight adult dogs, regardless of age. Senior is designed for aging dogs (joint and immune needs). If your dog is senior AND overweight, choose Senior. If it is a young adult that is overweight, choose Light & Fit.
With fewer calories, it can happen at first. A few tips: split the ration into 2-3 meals a day, moisten the kibble to increase volume, add low-calorie vegetables (green beans, cooked carrots). If the hunger persists after 2-3 weeks, contact us.
Dog weight loss should be slow and gradual : 1 to 2% of body weight per week. For a 20 kg dog that needs to lose 2 kg, allow about 10 to 20 weeks. It takes time, but it's the healthiest and most sustainable way.
Acana Light & Fit keeps a multi-protein profile typical of Acana, with no added grain. Many mainstream light brands cut protein (bad) or increase fiber at the expense of quality. Acana makes the right choice: less fat, same protein quality.
Acana Light & Fit is our go-to choice for adult dogs on a weight-loss program. Our team can help you calculate exact rations based on your dog's target weight and track progress.
