❄️ 90% animal, multi-poultry, AAFCO all life stages (including large breed)
Duck, turkey, chicken and turkey organs, herring. 3,950 kcal/kg, 99 kcal per patty. 41% of calories from protein (highest of the 4 recipes). No freezing, no high-temperature cooking. Suitable for all life stages, including large-breed puppies.
Crumble one patty or half a patty over your dog’s regular kibble to boost nutritional value, add palatability, and entice picky dogs. Especially popular for transitioning to a premium brand or for getting a dog to eat when they’re being fussy.
Compact, lightweight format that doesn’t require refrigeration. Perfect for travel, camping, the cottage, or vacations. You can lightly rehydrate with a little warm water before serving to increase hydration, or serve as is with water on the side.
Breaking a patty into small pieces makes very rewarding treats for training sessions. Especially useful for working on difficult behaviors (recall, escape prevention, veterinary handling).
❄️ Why freeze-dried instead of frozen?
The freeze-drying (freeze-drying) process freezes the ingredients and then removes the water under vacuum at very low temperature. Result: all raw nutrients are preserved (enzymes, delicate vitamins, omega-3s), without a freezer or messy handling. The finished product is shelf-stable, lightweight, easy to transport, and keeps for a long time. It’s the most convenient way to serve raw food to your dog.
🐶 Why is this recipe suitable for large-breed puppies?
The duck recipe is formulated AAFCO for all life stages, including growth for dogs expected to exceed 70 lb as adults. This is thanks to controlled calcium and a calcium/phosphorus ratio suited to the bone growth of these puppies, who need to avoid growing too quickly. For a future giant-breed puppy, this is one of the 3 suitable recipes (along with turkey and chicken).

Duck with ground bone, turkey with ground bone, chicken organs (liver, heart, gizzard), whole herring, pumpkin, natural fish flavor, turkey organs (liver, heart, gizzard), calcium carbonate, turkey bone broth, organic butternut squash, organic carrots, organic pears, dried chicory root, turmeric, dried kelp, tocopherols blend (preservative), vitamins (vitamin E supplement, niacin, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid, vitamin B12 supplement), minerals (zinc proteinate, copper proteinate), citric acid (preservative), rosemary extract.
1/4 to 1 patty per day depending on the dog’s size and kibble portion. Crumble over regular food. For a “wake-up” effect on a picky dog, start with 1/4 patty and increase if needed.
Count approximately 10 patties per 10 kg of dog per day, divided into 2 meals. Lightly rehydrate with warm water to increase hydration. Best used for short periods (travel, camping) rather than as a daily exclusive diet (for cost reasons).
Break a patty into 4 to 8 pieces to make high-value rewards. Very useful for recall and difficult behaviors.
Storage: store at room temperature in the resealed bag. Once opened, use within 4 to 6 weeks for optimal freshness.
Legally, it is an AAFCO complete food formulated for all life stages, including growth of large-breed dogs. But given the price, it’s usually used as a kibble topper or as a high-value reward. For travel or when cooking isn’t available, it can serve as a complete emergency meal.
No. Although duck and turkey are the featured proteins, the recipe contains chicken organs. For a dog with a strict chicken allergy, look instead at the beef recipe (single-animal-protein red meat) or outside the patty range.
This recipe is mainly poultry-based (duck, turkey, chicken organs), so it’s not recommended. Look instead at the beef patties, which are a single-protein red meat recipe.
Yes, this is one of the 3 recipes (along with turkey and chicken) formulated AAFCO all life stages including growth of large-breed dogs. Calcium is controlled to support bone growth without pushing it too fast.
Optional. You can serve it as is (making sure water is available) or add a little warm water to let it expand before serving. The rehydrated option increases your dog’s hydration and is often better liked as a complete meal.
Acana freeze-dried patties are our premium choice to boost meals, travel easily, or reward effectively. The duck recipe is our choice for dogs that enjoy varied poultry or for large-breed puppies. Our team can help you choose the right recipe for your dog.
