Frequently asked questions

My dog has itchy skin, could this help?

Yes, that is exactly one of its uses. Winning combination: single protein (eliminates potential allergens) + 5% fish oil (high level of anti-inflammatory omega-3s). For skin problems linked to a food allergy, this is an excellent option.

Acana Simple Lamb vs Acana Red Meat Classics?

Red Meat Classics combines beef + lamb + pork (multi-protein), a more affordable recipe with grains. Simple Lamb is pure single-protein (lamb only + fish oil), grain-free, for dogs with confirmed allergies. Choose based on your dog's sensitivity level.

Are the organs (liver, kidneys, tripe) too much for my dog?

No, it's actually desirable. Organs are the most nutritious parts of an animal and replicate what a dog would eat in the wild. They eliminate the need for lots of synthetic supplements.

Why so much taurine (1,500 mg/kg)?

Taurine is an essential amino acid for heart function. Single-protein recipes can slightly reduce the diversity of amino acids naturally present, so Acana generously adds taurine to ensure the heart-support profile stays optimal.
