Are any of the ingredients from china ?

ACANA believe that making the world’s best pet foods requires using the world’s finest ingredients. While many of ACANA's fresh and raw ingredients are sourced in the USA if they cannot find the quality or quantity they need they will look elsewhere. With this in mind, ACANA focuses on working with suppliers that they know and trust.

What is the salt content of this dog food

This recipe has a sodium content of 0.33% on an as-fed basis (0.37% on a dry matter basis).

How is this cooked? High heat like normal kibble or air dried?

ACANA foods, including ACANA Highest Protein, Appalachian Ranch Recipe, are Biologically Appropriate recipes containing up to approximately 95% meat, poultry, or fish ingredients, of which one half to two thirds are fresh or raw. Because they use fresh or raw ingredients, the extrusion process is the most suitable method, allowing these ingredients to be cooked only once. During extrusion, the ingredients are cooked in their own steam at approximately 198-240 °F. The temperatures they use are low enough to maintain the nutritional integrity of the ingredients, but still high enough to ensure food safety.

Serve dry or lightly moistened. See your veterinarian regularly. To help maintain freshness, we recommend sealing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dry location.
Puppies: at 1 1/2 - 3 months old feed twice the adult amount; at 3-6 months feed 1 1/2 times the adult amount; at 6-11 months feed 1 1/4 times the adult amount.
Gestation: increase from 25% to 50% of the adult amount.
Lactation: feed 'free choice'.

Transition Instructions

When switching diets, it’s important to transition your dog or puppy as it takes time for her 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.
