CHAMPION PETFOODS IS AN AWARD-WINNING PET FOOD MAKER WITH A REPUTATION OF TRUST THAT SPANS MORE THAN A QUARTER CENTURY.

ACANA mirrors the richness, freshness and variety of WholePrey meats that cats are evolved to eat.

We focus on local ingredients that are raised by people we know and trust, and delivered fresh or raw each day.

We don’t make foods for other companies and we don’t allow our foods to be made by anyone else.

4 5CANADA’S NORTHERN LYNX—GENETIC COUSIN TO ALL BREEDS OF DOMESTIC CAT DOMESTIC CATS OF ALL BREEDS ARE DESCENDED FROM A SINGLE ANCESTOR—THE EASTERN WILDCAT THAT STILL THRIVES TODAY

The eastern wildcat is ancestor and closest relative of all domestic cats. And while years of breeding has produced hundreds of ‘different looking cats’, the internal workings of wild and domestic cats remain unchanged.

In fact, the eating anatomy of modern cats is the same as their wild cousins, so it’s no surprise that their food requirements remain the same too.

OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PRINCIPLES ARE SIMPLE: MIRROR THE QUANTITY, FRESHNESS AND VARIETY OF MEATS THAT NATURE EVOLVED CATS TO EAT.

ACANA’s richly nourishing meat inclusions mirror your cat’s evolutionary diet, excluding high-glycemic carbohydrates, vegetable proteins, synthetic additives and anything else that nature didn’t intend your cat to eat.

B I O L O G I C A L LY A P P R O P R I AT E

ACANA CAT FOODS FOLLOW

Your cat has specific dietary needs that Mother Nature cultivated. ACANA mirrors the rich, varied inclusions of fresh whole meats that cats would encounter in their natural environment and are evolved to eat. These five rules reflect our Biologically Appropriate commitment.

NATURE’S RULES

RICH IN MEAT. RICH IN PROTEIN.Your cat is a carnivore, adapted for a diet rich in meat and protein. ACANA is loaded with 75% meat—twice as much as conventional cat foods — and is entirely free of plant protein ingredients.

50% FRESH MEAT INCLUSIONSHalf of the meats in every ACANA cat food is FRESH or RAW, supplying essential nutrients in their most nourishing form and providing the natural flavours and goodness cats instinctively crave.

A VARIETY OF FRESH MEATSIn nature, cats benefit from an assortment of prey animals, so ACANA foods feature an unmatched variety of fresh free-run poultry, nest-laid eggs, ranch-raised meats and wild-caught fish.

WHOLEPREY™ MEAT RATIOSNature matched the nutrients in whole prey animals to perfectly meet your cat’s needs. That’s why ACANA features WholePrey ratios of meat, organs and cartilage that supply essential nutrients naturally.

CARBOHYDRATE-LIMITEDThe natural diet contains very few carbohydrates, so ACANA replaces fast carbohydrates such as corn, rice, tapioca and potato with healthy, low-glycemic fruits and vegetables.

AN UNMATCHED VARIETY OF MEATS

CONSIDER THE VARIATION IN A CAT’S NATURAL DIET: EGGS TODAY, A BIRD OR MOUSE TOMORROW AND FISH THE NEXT. A RICH VARIETY OF FRESH MEATS IS A KEY PRINCIPLE IN OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE PHILOSOPHY.

This variety is often lost in conventional cat foods, which typically feature a single animal ingredient, such as chicken or lamb, that’s highly processed and rarely authentically fresh.

ACANA features a variety of fresh meats from local ranch-raised red meats, free-run poultry and wild-caught fish, providing a nourishing diversity of proteins and fats to promote peak health.

FRESH WILD-CAUGHT FISH

Wild and sustainably-caught off Vancouver Island or in our cold Canadian Lakes, our fish are delivered daily to our kitchens, fresh and whole and complete with all their life-giving nutrients.

FREE-RUN POULTRY & EGGS

Raised free-run on local farms, our chicken, turkey, duck and whole eggs are deemed fit for human consumption and delivered fresh daily, so they’re loaded with nourishing proteins and fats.

HERITAGE RED MEATS

Raised naturally on local farms in the heart of Canada’s ranching country, beef, bison, lamb and pork are delivered fresh or raw each day, so they’re bursting with goodness and taste.

ACANA IS MADE WITH 75% MEAT INGREDIENTS

DOMESTIC CATS ARE NOT ONLY CAPABLE OF EATING THE FOODS OF THEIR ANCESTORS, BUT ACTUALLY REQUIRE IT FOR PEAK HEALTH.

Just like their wild cousins, domestic cats are equipped with sharp teeth, a short digestive tract and a body evolved to metabolize protein and fat from meat.

With high meat inclusions (75%), over 95% of ACANA’s protein is derived from animal sources, nourishing your cat or kitten according to its evolutionary needs.

HALF OF ACANA’S MEATS ARE FRESH OR RAW, PROVIDING THE FLAVOURS AND GOODNESS THAT CATS INSTINCTIVELY CRAVE.

Refrigeration is the only means of preservation for our fresh meats, and our raw meats are flash-frozen at their peak to lock in their natural goodness.

All meat ingredients are from animals deemed fit for human consumption, a rarity among North American pet food makers.

HALF OF ACANA’S MEAT INGREDIENTS ARE FRESH OR RAW

FRESH MEATS MIRROR YOUR CAT’S NATURAL DIET, SUPPLYING NUTRIENTS IN THEIR MOST NATURAL FORM.

That’s why up to 50% of the meats, fish, poultry and eggs that go into ACANA are fresh or raw, and loaded with goodness and taste.

To preserve the integrity of our fresh ingredients, we prepare ACANA at low temperatures (90C/195F).

50% FRESH RAW

These days, knowing where your food is from, has taken on new importance.

That’s why we make ACANA in our own kitchens, from fresh ingredients raised by people we know and trust, like Roger and Katelyn in Lacombe, Alberta.

NATURAL DIET CONTAINS LITTLE IF ANY CARBOHYDRATES

WHOLEPREY MEAT RATIOS

IN HER INFINITE WISDOM, MOTHER NATURE MATCHED THE NUTRIENTS IN WHOLE FISH, FOWL AND GAME TO PERFECTLY MEET THE DIETARY NEEDS OF YOUR CAT.

In nature, wildcats derive their nutritional needs by consuming whole prey animals. Muscle meat provides protein and fat; organs such as liver and tripe supply vitamins and minerals; bones and cartilage provide calcium and phosphorus.

ACANA WholePrey foods incorporate meats, organs and cartilage in ratios that mirror Mother Nature, delivering nutrients naturally, thus dramatically reducing the need to add synthetic vitamins or amino-acid supplements to our foods.

VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE NUTRIENTS IN ACANA ARE NATURAL AND NOT SYNTHETIC.

SUPERFOOD FOR CATSCOMPARED TO MUSCLE MEAT, ORGAN MEATS ARE DENSELY PACKED WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY NUTRIENT YOUR CAT OR KITTEN NEEDS, INCLUDING ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS, FATTY ACIDS, VITAMINS AND MINERALS.

Organ meats such as kidney, heart, liver and tripe are loaded with heavy doses of B vitamins, minerals like phosphorus, iron, magnesium and iodine, and important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K — all of which nourish your cat the natural way.

CARBOHYDRATE- AND CALORIE-LIMITED

FREE OF GRAINS, POTATO, TAPIOCA AND STARCH INGREDIENTS, ACANA LIMITS CARBOHYDRATES TO 25% AND THE GLYCEMIC LOAD TO 3.

CARBOHYDRATES ARE RECOGNIZED AS A LEADING CAUSE OF OBESITY AND DIABETES - YET CONVENTIONAL CAT FOODS OFTEN EXCEED 50% CARBOHYDRATES.

Even worse, conventional cat foods typically feature fast carbohydrates such as rice, potato and tapioca; starches that digest quickly, causing blood glucose to spike resulting in increased fat storage — factors associated with obesity and diabetes. That’s why Biologically Appropriate ACANA features low-glycemic vegetables and fruits, such as whole pumpkin and butternut squash, that enter the blood stream slowly, promoting stable blood sugar levels and reducing the potential for fat storage.

OUR 3 MEAT QUESTIONS REFLECT OUR BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE COMMITMENT.

1. HOW MUCH MEAT? 75% — twice as much as conventional cat foods and completely free of plant protein concentrates.

2. HOW MUCH FRESH MEAT? 50% of the meat is fresh or raw to supply essential nutrients in their most nourishing form.

3. HOW MANY FRESH MEATS? ACANA diet features multiple meats in WholePrey ratios to nourish naturally and completely.

DOMESTIC CATS ARE BUILT LIKE THEIR ANCESTORS. WE BELIEVE THEY SHOULD EAT LIKE THEM TOO.
