Frequently asked questions

My dog has itchy skin, could this help?

Yes, that’s exactly what it’s for. Winning combo: mono-protein (eliminates potential allergens) + 5% fish oil (high level of anti-inflammatory omega-3s). For skin issues linked to a food allergy, this is an excellent option.

Acana Simple Lamb vs Acana Classic Red Meat?

Classic Red Meat combines beef + lamb + pork (multi-protein), a more accessible recipe with grains. Simple Lamb is pure mono-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 get in nature. They remove the need for lots of synthetic supplements.

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

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