Acana Classic Wild Coast Dog Dry Food (All Breeds)

Give your dog the taste of the Pacific with Acana Wild Coast. This dry food diet is expertly crafted in award-winning NorthStar kitchens to mirror the diet nature intended for your pet. Loaded with nourishing fish from sustainable Pacific waters, this formula is "Biologically Appropriate," featuring WholePrey ratios of meat, organs, and cartilage to deliver nutrients naturally.

Unlike many conventional pet foods, Acana Wild Coast avoids high-glycemic carbohydrates. Instead, it utilizes steel-cut oats, a low-glycemic and wholesome grain that promotes stable blood sugar levels and peak physical conditioning. Whether you have a playful puppy or a senior dog, this recipe ensures they get the essential protein and nutrients they need to thrive.

FurryPari Tip

Transitioning is Key:
When switching your dog to a high-quality food like Acana Wild Coast, their digestive system might need time to adjust to the richer nutrient profile.
We recommend mixing 25% of Acana with 75% of the old food, slowly increasing the Acana portion over 5 to 7 days until you are feeding 100% Acana.
This helps prevent loose stools and tummy upset!
