Raised on local prairie farms, fresh Yorkshire Pork arrives in richly nourishing WholePrey ratios of meat, organs and cartilage that mirror the natural diet, while fresh squash and pumpkin support healthy digestion.
Free of plant protein concentrates, ACANA Yorkshire Pork is loaded with 50% pork. 1/2 of the pork in ACANA Singles is fresh and 1/2 is dried to provide a concentrated source of nourishing meat protein. Your dog is a carnivore and biologically adapted for a diet rich in meat.
Equipped with sharp teeth, a single hinge jaw, and a short digestive tract, domestic dogs are anatomically designed to break down protein and fat from meat. Your dog has no nutritional requirement for carbohydrates and his natural diet contains very few, if any. Carbohydrates are widely recognized as a leading cause of obesity and diabetes – yet conventional dog foods often exceed 50% carbohydrate content.
That’s why ACANA limits total carbohydrate content and replaces fast digesting carbohydrates like rice, tapioca and potato with healthy, low-glycemic fruits and vegetables such as squash and greens. These enter the blood stream slowly, avoiding spikes in blood sugar and decreasing the potential for fat storage. Prepared from the best and freshest ingredients in award-winning NorthStar kitchens, this Biologically Appropriate food is perfect for fussy or diet-sensitive dogs.
