Acana Light & Fit Adult Dog Food (All Breeds)

Help your dog look and feel their best with Acana Light & Fit, a biologically appropriate diet designed specifically for overweight or less active adult dogs. Overweight dogs benefit from a diet rich in proteins to support lean muscle mass, yet limited in carbohydrates that can contribute to excess body fat.

Acana Light & Fit is crafted in award-winning Canadian kitchens using fresh, regional ingredients. By replacing fast-absorbing carbohydrates (like corn, rice, or tapioca) with low-glycemic fruits and vegetables, this formula keeps your dog satisfied and happy while promoting peak physical conditioning.

FurryPari Tip

Consistent Measurement is Key:
When helping a dog lose weight, "eyeballing" the food portion often leads to overfeeding. Use a standard measuring cup to strictly follow the feeding guidelines based on your dog's target weight, not their current weight. Pair this diet with regular, moderate exercise for the best results!

FAQs

Q: Is Acana Light & Fit suitable for puppies?
A: No. This food is formulated specifically for adult dogs (over 1 year old). Puppies require higher fat and calorie content for growth.

Q: Does this food contain any grains?
A: No. Acana Light & Fit is completely grain-free and gluten-free, making it ideal for dogs with grain sensitivities.

Q: How does this help my dog lose weight?
A: It reduces carbohydrates (which convert to sugar/fat) and increases protein. This keeps your dog full for longer while fueling lean muscle rather than fat storage.

Q: Where is Acana Light & Fit made?
A: It is made in Canada in Acana's own award-winning kitchens, using fresh, regional ingredients.

Q: Do I need to add vitamins or supplements to this food?
A: Generally, no. Because Acana uses WholePrey ratios (meat, organs, and cartilage), it naturally provides almost all essential nutrients. However, consult your vet if your dog has specific medical needs.
