Chicken fat reduced to 1.5% (vs. 8% in Acana Adult). Animal proteins retained: 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 fat to feel them, your dog is probably overweight. Another indicator: the top-view 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 assess it 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. The result: the dog loses muscle as well as fat, which slows metabolism and encourages regain. Acana Light & Healthy does the opposite: it reduces calories (fat) but keeps 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 preserve muscle.
Chicken fat reduced to 1.5% is where the main calorie reduction comes from.
Fresh chicken offal (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.
Red lentils, peas, chickpeas, green lentils, yellow peas. Vegetable carbohydrate base, no added grain.

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 at most. 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 & Healthy targets 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 your dog is a young adult and overweight, choose Light & Healthy.
With fewer calories, it can happen at first. A few tips: divide the ration into 2-3 meals a day, moisten the kibble to increase volume, add low-calorie vegetables (green beans, cooked carrots). If hunger persists after 2-3 weeks, contact us.
A dog's weight loss should be slow and steady: 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's long, but it's the healthiest and most sustainable way.
Acana Light & Healthy keeps a multi-protein profile typical of Acana, with no added grain. Many mass-market 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 & Healthy is our choice for adult dogs on a weight-loss program. Our team can help you calculate precise rations based on your dog's target weight and track progress.
