ACANA's Duck and Pear recipe is a grain-free, limited ingredient recipe perfect for diet-sensitive dogs. This award winning formula features one single, easily digestible animal protein; Muscovy duck. Raised free-run on local farms by people ACANA knows and trusts, ACANA's duck is deemed fit for human consumption. The Duck and Pear recipe features wholeprey ratios in order to mimic the diet mother nature intended. By using the whole duck, including organs giblets and cartilage, absorbs all necessary nutrients naturally and completely. Muscle meat provides protein, organs supply vitamins and minerals, while bones and cartilage deliver calcium and phophorus. Glucosamine and chondroitin are derived naturally from high quality duck ingredients, not synthetics. Add in fresh Bartlett pears, farmed locally, and top it off with generous infusions of freeze-dried duck liver and you've got a recipe loved by even the fussiest eaters! ACANA Limited Ingredient Duck and Pear provides an excellent choice for helping diet-sensitive dogs of all breeds and ages maintain optimum weight and peak conditioning.

About ACANA
Your dog may not roam the wilderness like their ancestors did, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't feed them like they don't. ACANA makes only foods that are rich in meat and protein variety, with wholeprey meat ratios and limited carbohydrates, replacing fast carbs with low glycemic, healthy fruits and vegetables. With a state of art brand new kitchen in Kentucky, all ACANA foods are sourced and made right here in the USA by trusted farmers. With human grade ingredients that typically arrive at the kitchens within 48 hours of harvesting, fresh is the entire basis of ACANA's brand. Ingredients like heritage red meats from the Appalachian ranching country, free-run poultry and eggs, wild caught fish from New England, whole fruits and vegetables like Bartlett pears and butternut squash, and locally grown botanicals from Kentucky, ACANA believes the healthiest foods are made here at home in Kentucky, never outsourced. ACANA nourishes your pet's instinct for real, fresh meats and high quality grain-free carbohydrates. It's everything Mother Nature intended, and nothing she did not.
