That's why we suggest using this chart as a starting point, and monitoring your dog's weight and adjusting his rations as needed. We also recommend feeding him twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available.

When switching diets, it's important to transition your dog as it takes time for his digestive system to adapt to the richer nutrient levels in ACANA. Over a 5-7 day period, gradually mix in ACANA, increasing the amount each day so that by day 7 you are feeding 100% ACANA.
​

EACH DOG IS UNIQUE AND FEEDING AMOUNTS WILL VARY.  USE THIS CHART AS A INTIAL GUIDE AND ADJUST FEEDING ACCORDINGLY.  FEED TWICE DAILY AND PROVIDE FRESH WATER AT ALL TIMES.

GESTATION: INCREASE FEEDING 25% TO 50%.  LACTATION: FEED 'FREE CHOICE'.

CALORIES DISTRIBUTION

Unique compared to conventional foods, ACANA delivers more calories from protein and fat and fewer calories from carbohydrates, reducing the risk of obesity and promoting your dog’s peak health
