❄️ 90% animal, multi-poultry, AAFCO all life stages (including large breed)
Duck, turkey, chicken and turkey organ meats, herring. 3,950 kcal/kg, 99 kcal per patty.41% of calories from protein (the highest of the 4 recipes). No freezing, no high-heat cooking. Suitable for all life stages, including large-breed puppies.
Crumble one patty or half a patty over your dog's usual kibble ration to boost nutritional value, add palatability, and tempt picky eaters. Great for transitioning to a premium brand or getting a dog to eat when it turns up its nose at food.
Compact, lightweight format that doesn't need refrigeration. Perfect for travel, camping, the cottage, or vacations. You can slightly 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 highly prized rewards for dogs during training sessions. Especially useful for working on difficult behaviors (recall, escape prevention, veterinary handling).
❄️ Why freeze-dried instead of frozen?
The freeze-drying process freezes the ingredients and then removes the water under vacuum at very low temperature. The result: all raw nutrients are preserved (enzymes, fragile vitamins, omega-3s), without a freezer or messy handling. The finished product is shelf-stable, lightweight, easy to carry, and keeps for a long time. It's the most practical way to feed raw to your dog.
🐶 Why is this recipe suitable for large-breed puppies?
The duck recipe is formulated AAFCO for all life stages, including growth of dogs expected to be >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 fast. For a future giant-breed puppy, it's one of the 3 suitable recipes (with turkey and chicken).

Duck with ground bone, turkey with ground bone, chicken organ meats (liver, heart, gizzard), whole herring, pumpkin, natural fish flavor, turkey organ meats (liver, heart, gizzard), calcium carbonate, turkey bone broth, organic butternut squash, organic carrots, organic pears, dried chicory root, turmeric, dried kelp, mixed tocopherols (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 ration. Crumble over the usual food. For a "wake-up" effect on a picky eater, start with 1/4 patty and increase if needed.
Allow approximately 10 patties per 10 kg of dog per day, divided into 2 meals. Slightly rehydrate with warm water to increase hydration. Best used for short periods (travel, camping) rather than exclusively every day (for cost reasons).
Break a patty into 4 to 8 pieces to make high-value rewards. Very useful for recall and difficult behaviors.
Storage: keep 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 is usually used as a topper on kibble or as a high-value reward. For travel or when a kitchen isn't available, it can serve as an emergency complete meal.
No. While duck and turkey are the featured proteins, the recipe contains chicken organ meats. For a dog with a strict chicken allergy, look instead at the beef recipe (single red-meat protein) or outside the patty range.
This recipe is mainly poultry-based (duck, turkey, chicken organ meats), so it is not recommended. Look instead at the beef patties, which are a single red-meat protein.
Yes, it's one of the 3 recipes (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 (with access to water) or add a little warm water to let it puff up 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 pick for dogs that like varied poultry or for large-breed puppies. Our team can help you choose the right recipe for your dog.
