Akana food for Yorkies

About the manufacturer

Acana food belongs to Canada. Her story begins back in 1990, in Canada.

As the president and founder of the company, Reinhard Mühlenfeld, said: “Food is much more than beautiful packaging and competent marketing.”

Indeed, Acana pet food is positioned as biologically appropriate and completely natural, which is confirmed by numerous laboratory quality tests. For many years, super-premium acana food has successfully maintained the set level.

At least that's what manufacturers and official distributors in the CIS countries say. Numerous positive user reviews confirm the declared quality.

Acana food is not just a hyped brand.

Acana Regionals

Here is one of the most nutritious lines of dog food. Acana Regionals food contains no grains at all. Only meat, fish, fruits and vegetables.

Definite advantages:

• high amount of protein, which is natural for a predator;
• all components are completely natural;
• in addition to dehydrated protein, the contents of the granules include natural meat and fish;
• There is also a large amount of vitamin E, vegetables and fruits.

Minuses:

• Before transferring a dog to this line of food, consultation with a veterinarian is advisable. Because a high concentration of protein can negatively affect the functioning of the animal’s digestive system;
• the price is not low.

The line includes three types of original food:

Acana Wild Prairie

This food includes not only meat, but also fish. Based on fresh chicken, turkey, whole herring and dehydrated ingredients. 385 kcal per 100 grams, 36% of calories come from protein, 24% from fruits/vegetables and 40% from fat.

Acana Pacifica

For pets who love seafood. The peculiarity of Acana Pacifica is its “fish” composition. Instead of the usual veal or chicken meat, you can find whole herring, Pacific sardine, and flounder in Pasifika. You can't do without dehydrated foods either. In addition to the fish base, the contents of the food granules include green peas, lentils, chickpeas, fresh fruits and vegetables. Calorie content of the diet: 385 kcal/100 grams, with 36% coming from protein, 24% from fruits and vegetables and 40% from fat.

Acana Grasslands

Acana Singles

This line differs from the others in that each diet contains only one source of protein. If your dog is allergic to a particular product, feel free to try one of the foods suggested below.

Acana Yorkshire Pork

50% made from specially selected Yorkshire pigs. The meat is delivered to the processing plant completely fresh, as always. In addition to pork, the kibble's contents include whole green peas and lentils, dried kelp and more.

Acana Pacific Pilchard

The protein base of the food is whole and dehydrated Pacific sardine. In addition, the composition includes several types of pumpkins, chickpeas, peas and lentils.

Acana Free-Run Duck

Here the duck is chosen as the protein character. The contents of the kibble include whole pears and rose hips, which is very unusual for dog food.

All Akana food is dry.

Features of feed

It is a known fact that dogs love meat. This love is inherent in them by nature. Therefore, without protein, your pet will not be healthy. This food meets these requirements. The Canadian manufacturer makes its products from specially grown chicken meat, adding proteins, always of animal origin, in the form of whole eggs. Also flounder meat and vegetables and fruits, which the Okanagan Valley is rich in.

Another remarkable feature of the production is that all Acana products included in its composition are never pre-frozen. Acana food is prepared only from fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as fresh meat. This dry food is well balanced taking into account the characteristics of the animals for which the food is intended and is therefore highly nutritious for them. It is suitable for various breeds of four-legged friends.

Owner reviews

Yuri:

“Holistic. For a long time I fed my Shar Pei with “Our Brand” products. Later I realized that these were ordinary sawdust with flavoring. As a result of improper feeding, the poor dog had numerous health problems: the hair on his hind legs was peeling off, his mouth stank, and blisters appeared. We switched to acana with lamb and are completely satisfied with the result. Gradually, his health improved, and his problematic paws finally grew hair. I recommend!"

Julia:

“Improved the dog’s health and appearance. When we first got a Labrador, we had absolutely no idea what to feed him. At first they prepared meat porridge, believing that it would be better for the animal. Gradually, cooking became a problem, especially when the need arose to leave. I had to switch Tosya to dry food. On the advice of the veterinarian, the choice fell on ACANA Chicken & Burbank Potato. The eternal problem with cooking has disappeared, and trips to the vet have become noticeably less frequent. We are completely and completely satisfied with Akana; we found no shortcomings.”

Ulyana:

“Excellent food for small breed dogs. There were always problems with other types of food, either there was not enough protein or vitamins... After we switched to acana, the dog’s condition noticeably improved, because it contains the necessary vitamins and does not require additional feeding.”

Classic

The Acana Classics series is a universal food that is suitable for animals of different ages and breeds. They contain at least 50% meat components, and vegetables, fruits and ground oats enriched with glucose are used as a source of carbohydrates.

The classic series includes two types of food:

1. Acana Prairie Poultry. This is a ready-made meal based on tender lamb meat. It is a healthy source of protein. Lamb very rarely causes allergies in dogs and is easily digestible.
2. Acana Wild Coast. It contains Pacific fish: herring, flounder, hake. It is mined in the waters surrounding Vancouver Island. This region is considered ecologically clean.
