Frequently asked questions

My dog is allergic to wheat, can they eat Acana Classique?

Yes. Acana Classique contains no wheat, no corn, no soy. The grains used are pearled barley, oatmeal and whole oats, which rarely cause allergies. If your dog is generally grain-allergic, look at the Acana Heritage range instead (no added grain).

Acana Classique Prairie vs Acana Heritage Adult?

Classique Prairie: with ancient grains, more affordable (25,99 to 97,99 $). Heritage Adult: no added grain, more protein variety, slightly more expensive. Choose based on your preference for grains and your budget.

Why are there fewer animal proteins than in Heritage?

Acana Classique has a slightly more modest protein ratio than Heritage, which is what makes the recipe more affordable. The profile remains excellent for most healthy dogs, with a solid protein mix (chicken + fish oil).

My dog is transitioning from a standard mass-market food, is this a good choice?

Yes, it’s an excellent transition step. Acana Classique offers a clear quality upgrade compared with standard mass-market brands (Iams, Pedigree, Purina One), without a big financial jump. If the transition goes well, you can then consider moving up to Heritage or the Proteins range.
