Small breed puppies mature quickly and require a high energy food, rich in meat protein and fats to support their short, intense growth stage.
Perfectly rich in quality proteins and fats, each kibble of this exceptionally palatable diet is bursting with highly digestible meat ingredients (60%) from free-range, human-grade chicken.
To better nourish your puppy, ACANA is high in protein, low in carbohydrate, and features easily-digested steamed oats that contain essential nutrients including beta glucans to help control blood glucose.
Fruits, vegetables and botanicals provide vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in the healthiest way, while digestive enzymes from probiatic cultures, chicory, and yeast extracts promote digestive health and nutrient uptake.
ACANA's nutritious blend of chicken, herring and flax supplies essential fatty acids (including DHA and EPA) to support cognitive and immune development and to nourish a luxurious skin and haircoat.
