Acana Heritage Senior Dry Dog Food Information
Senior dogs are best fed a diet rich in meat proteins to support lean muscle mass, yet limited in carbohydrates which can lead to obesity and diabetes. ACANA Senior features higher protein levels from richly nourishing free-run chicken, nest-laid eggs and whole wild-caught flounder. Prepared in our award-winning kitchens from Canada’s best and freshest ingredients, Biologically Appropriate™ ACANA keeps your senior dog healthy, happy and strong.
Key Benefits:
- Rich in Meat (65%) including cage-free chicken, wild-caught flounder and whole nest-laid eggs sourced from regional farms deemed fit for human consumption.
- 1/3 of the poultry, fish and eggs in ACANA are authentically fresh and loaded with goodness and taste, and other 2/3 are dried to provide a strong and natural source of meat protein.
- Contains very few carbohydrates, which are recognized as a leading cause of obesity and diabetes.
- To promote healthy blood sugar levels, ACANA Senior replaces fast carbohydrates like tapioca or potato with low-glycemic fruits and vegetables such as pumpkin and squash.

My senior dog had developed a nasty dry skin & eczema. Changing to Acana removed the wheat from his diet and has completely cleared his skin condition up. There has also been a huge change in his behaviour - what a difference!!

Great for my 13 year old but also for the younger dogs with sensitive stomachs as it's easy to digest. It's also very palatable so even a fussy dog would like it, I'm sure! :)

Great value, my girl really likes this one. Her coat is glossy and her joints don't seem to be giving her any where near the problems she has showed previously. I purchased a Green feeder for her at the same time and the combination of the two has made her slow down her eating and she 'hunts' every morsel from her plate. Highly recommend for the older dog as the kibble is easy to chew and digests and Bella loves it.

I love this food. Seen great results in my old girl since I have changed her to this food. She is 12 years and was badly mistreated and I got her as an old dog. She couldn't get out of her bed and I thought we would be lucky to have a few months with her. Since changing she now runs around with the other dogs, has alot more energy and doesn't need to have jumpers on as much to keep warm. I would highly recommend this food to other with older dogs.
