A great all around dog food for dogs of all life stages, ACANA Heritage Free-Run Poultry delivers dog nutrition at its best. With a rich level of protein and 60% premium animal ingredients, ACANA Free-Run Poultry suits dogs that do well with or enjoy chicken and turkey.
Along with free-run poultry this dog food also features organs and cartilage that not only mirror the diet from your dog's evolution, but also provides nutrients naturally without synthetic additives. In essence the inclusion of whole-prey ratios in this food means that you will be feeding your dog muscle meat that provides protein for energy and cell replenishment; giblets that suppy protein, iron & zinc, liver that supply B vitamins and minerals such as iron & zinc which both play a role in immune system function, and cartilage that provides amino acids that helps support healthy bones, skin, coat, immune system and digestive function. Because of this, we believe that ACANA Free-Run Poultry is one of the best moderately-priced dry dog foods in the market.
Benefits:
Optimal Nutritional Balance for Peak Health - ACANA Heritage Free-Run Poultry is loaded with 60% premium meat ingredients, including chicken, turkey and catfish. This variety of animal protein helps provide the essential amino acids, vitamins and minerals that are needed for your dog's peak health. Because your dog cannot get all of his/her essential nutitients from one protein source, the diversity of meats in ACANA Free-Run Poultry dog food provides the optimal nutritional balance that your dog needs.
Builds Lean Muscle Mass – Instead of pea or potato protein concentrates, ACANA Heritage Free-Run Poultry derives its protein content from animal ingredients. This animal meat content helps your dog maintain lean muscle mass. Lean muscle mass is not only good for building strength and burning calories more efficiently, but it also is beneficial for your dog's long-term health.
Helps Maintain A Healthy Weight - Because ACANA Heritage Free-Run Poultry limits carbohydrates and replaces fast carbohydrates (rice, potato and tapioca) ,which are recognized as leading causes of obesity and diabetes, with low-glycemic, locally grown vegetables and fruits, this helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels and reduces the potential for fat storage. This is all great for maintaining a healthy body weight because a healthy weight translates to a longer life for your dog and it helps prevents certain medical conditions.
No Undesirable Ingredients That Would Harm Your Dog - ACANA uses actual food ingredients to provide all required nutrients; that is, since ACANA Free-Run Poultry features the meat in whole prey ratios, essential nutrients, vitamins & minerals are provided through this rich diversity of meats, liver, giblets and cartilage. Thus, this eliminates the need for a long list of synthetic ingredients. The only supplement that ACANA has added is zinc.

We were looking for a new dog food to add to our dog's monthly rotation. Had heard about ACANA but had never tried it. After speaking to the rep at Summer's Paw we decided to give this Heritage formula a try. I must say our dog didn't fuss about it and gobbled it up to our surprise. We like the good ingredients in this food and am now looking to try the other ACANA recipes. (Posted on 7/10/16)Price Value Quality - Max Loves this! Review by JeffNY

Glad ACANA has an alternative to the "no-longer" Chicken & Burbank Potato. This new ACANA Free-Run Poultry recipe makes our dog HAPPY as evidenced by an empty bowl and a stare for "got more?" (Posted on 5/17/16)Quality Price Value - Molly has another Favorite! Review by Molly's Mom

Decided to try the new ACANA Heritage as our Molly already eats the ACANA Wild Prairie. Boy, did she zoom in on it and wanted more after she cleared her bowl!
