Although Lamb & Rice is typically prescribed as a single-source protein food for dietary-sensitive dogs, most commercial lamb & rice diets contain chicken, pork, fish or vegetable proteins and fats.
ACANA understands the needs of dietary-sensitive dogs. As a true Lamb & Rice diet, ACANA contains only one animal ingredient: veterinary-certified, fit-for human consumption, New Zealand lamb (min. 40%).
Formulated with natural savory lamb broth, this superb diet is enriched with sunflower and flax oils - rich sources of essential fatty acids that promote skin and coat conditioning.
Free of wheat and corn, this exceptional diet features steamed Alberta oats and rice as hypoallergenic carbohydrate ingredients.
A rich blend of flaxseed and sunflower oils supplies omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids to nourish luxurious skin and coat conditioning.
ACANA's ocean-source glucosamine HCl with chondroitin and organic minerals support healthy teeth, bones and joints.
