The Acana Adult food is the signature recipe in Acana's Heritage line. Made in Canada (Alberta) by Champion Petfoods, in the same facility as its premium sibling Orijen. Multi-animal protein (fresh chicken, turkey, hake, herring, eggs, organs), with no added grain, energy-rich for active adult dogs, all at a more accessible price than the Orijen range.
🇨🇦 The Champion Petfoods philosophy, more accessible
Same manufacturer as Orijen, same Canadian factory, same multi-protein commitment. Acana offers an excellent animal-ingredient ratio with a larger share of meals (concentrated) rather than everything being fresh, which makes the recipe more accessible. No added grain ingredients.
🤔 Acana vs Orijen: what's the difference?
Both brands are made in Canada by the same producer (Champion Petfoods, Alberta). Orijen goes further with 85 % animal ingredients that are mostly fresh or raw, greater protein variety, and a higher protein ratio. Acana keeps the same no-added-grain, multi-protein philosophy, but uses more meals (concentrated) than fresh meats, which makes the recipe more affordable while still being clearly above standard brands. It's an excellent choice when you want Champion Petfoods know-how without Orijen's price tag.
🍗 Meals vs fresh meat: what that means
The fresh meat contains about 70 % water. Once dried into meal, it loses that water and becomes ~3 to 4 times more concentrated in protein. So 20 % chicken meal is protein-equivalent to about 65 to 80 % fresh chicken. Both forms have their place: fresh meat adds taste and palatability, while meal adds protein concentration. Acana combines both.
Fresh chicken (21 %) as the first ingredient for palatability, combined with chicken meal (20 %) to concentrate protein intake. An approach that maximizes protein and taste at the same time.
Turkey meal (7 %), fresh chicken organs (liver, heart) (4 %), fresh eggs (4 %), raw hake (4 %), herring meal (3 %), raw turkey liver (0.5 %). Protein diversity remains a core part of the brand.
Fish oil (3.5 %) and herring meal (3 %) : a natural source of DHA and EPA for skin, coat, joints, and heart.
Whole red lentils, whole peas, whole chickpeas, whole green lentils, whole yellow peas. A plant-based carbohydrate base rather than grains.
Pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots, apples, pears, zucchini, kale, spinach, turnip greens, beet greens. Cranberries, blueberries, saskatoons for antioxidants.
Turmeric (anti-inflammatory), milk thistle (liver support), burdock root, marshmallow root, rose hips (natural vitamin C).

Here are guidelines for an active adult dog (adjust based on activity level and body condition):
| Dog weight | Daily amount (approx.) |
|---|---|
| 5 kg (11 lb) | 3/4 to 1 cup |
| 10 kg (22 lb) | 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups |
| 20 kg (44 lb) | 2 to 2 1/2 cups |
| 30 kg (66 lb) | 2 3/4 to 3 1/4 cups |
| 40 kg (88 lb) | 3 1/4 to 4 cups |
Fresh water should be available at all times.
Both brands are produced by Champion Petfoods in the same factory in Alberta. Orijen goes further (85 % animal ingredients that are mostly fresh or raw, greater protein diversity, higher protein). Acana keeps the same no-added-grain, multi-protein philosophy, but combines fresh meats and meals to stay more accessible. It's an excellent premium option at a mid-range price.
Acana Adult contains no added grains (no wheat, corn, rice, oats, etc.). Carbohydrates come from legumes (lentils, peas) and fresh vegetables.
Fresh chicken as the first ingredient ensures excellent palatability. Acana is generally very well accepted by dogs, even picky ones. Allow 10 to 14 days for a gentle transition from another food.
For puppies, there is a dedicated recipe: Acana Puppy, or Acana Small Breed Puppy and Acana Large Breed Puppy depending on the expected adult size.
Yes, but we also have Acana Adult Small Breed with a smaller kibble, better suited to small jaws.
Acana is the ideal partner to Orijen in our selection. It's our recommendation for owners who want premium Canadian food, with no added grain, without reaching Orijen's price. Have a question? Our team will help you choose between Acana and Orijen based on your dog and your budget.
