CHAMPION PETFOODS' FOOD PHILOSOPHY
-
Champion Petfoods pioneered Biologically Appropriate nutrition, crafting every recipe to mirror the diet nature and evolution intended for dogs and cats. For meat eaters, this means high levels of protein from animal sources and fewer carbohydrates. Champion also introduced WholePrey, using the most nourishing and succulent parts of the animal, including meat, organs and bones. Fresh or raw meat, poultry or fish are always the lead ingredient in ACANA & ORIJEN food.
-
Only the finest ingredients are sourced from trusted farmers, ranchers and fisheries around the world. A strong network enables quality sourcing, including lamb from New Zealand, fish from Scandinavia, and other premium ingredients from nearby regions. Every ingredient is selected for its nutritional value, digestibility and exceptional flavour, with long-standing relationships and rigorous traceability ensuring transparency and quality in every recipe.

What Our Customers Say
Shay & Zarlo
Wellington
'Acana has been an absolute game changer for us! Zarlo was such a sick puppy, and with his underlying health issues, we struggled to find a kibble that we felt truly nourished him. After just a few weeks on the Acana Wild Coast recipe, we noticed an incredible difference with both his energy levels, and his shiny coat (!!). The difference was truly incredible, and we’d never look back now, thank you Acana!'

'We have a whole pack of dogs at home and all of them LOVE Acana Sport & Agility! Some of our dogs are farm dogs, others we use when we go duck shooting or deer hunting, and some are just pets but all need a high-quality food to ensure they get the best nutrition and can keep up with their busy lives. Acana Sport & Agility is perfect for all of them! The working dogs hold their weight well and are lean machines on the Sport food. Not only that, they can sustain their energy levels when we're out on big walks or are working hard on the farm.'

Georgina & Monty
Christchurch
'Monty has a sensitive tummy, so foods with lots of grains can upset him. Living an active lifestyle in the country also means that he needs to eat high-quality food that will fill him up, plus give him all the essential nutrients. Since switching to ACANA, Monty has been thriving. The quality of their food is unmatched, you can genuinely see & smell how good it is. They have a great range of options and flavours, so there is something for every pup! We can’t even name a favourite as they’re all so tasty, but the Singles range (with one animal protein per recipe), is definitely a top contender. It’s especially great for those with sensitive tummies like Monty, or those pups who are a bit fussy! Safe to say I can see us sticking with ACANA for good!'

'We changed to ACANA after looking at the ingredients. Our cat Korra loves the whole range, but her favourite is Pacifica! Since switching, we've noticed that her coat is much softer and she seems to graze less and stay fuller for longer. '

Hannah & Finny
Bay of Plenty
'We swapped our boy Finny onto the ACANA Wild Coast Recipe almost a year ago now… and we haven’t looked back! Since starting this food Finny has had a super settled stomach and a very consistent routine regarding his toilet activities (if you know you know!). His sensitive cavoodle stomach has always led to very unpredictable bowel movements and an unsettled stomach in the past so it’s been an absolute dream having such a settled boy this past year. We can’t forget to mention the constant comments on how beautiful and healthy his coat looks… which we put down to the awesome nutrients he’s getting from this food! We absolutely adore ACANA and quite frequently recommend the Wild Coast Recipe to our other fish-loving mates!'

'My dog Rusty (Staffy/ Shar Pei) was sent to a rescue from which I was lucky to adopt him. When he arrived his coat was in a terrible state from bad nutrition, neglect and untreated medical conditions. I now feed him a mix of Acana Pacifica and Adult. Rusty’s coat is brilliant, he has no skin issues which is uncommon for both Staffies and Shar Pei’s and I am always been complemented on how shiny he is. I love Acana and would recommend it to anyone, especially those with breed that experience skin conditions.'

'I just want to say how much I love your products! I feed Acana and it has fixed all my Rhodesian Ridgebacks skin and coat issues. She also gets the Pet Kelp supplement. My Japanese Spitz is also looking amazing too. The Spitz is getting back out in the show ring and her coat is glowing! Thank you for your amazing products. '

For the best taste experience, we recommend that you purchase a package size that can be used within 6-8 weeks.
Ideally, you should store your pet food indoors, in a cool, dark place. If using a storage container, make sure to thoroughly clean and dry it between uses and if possible, put the whole bag in the container to retain the lot number information on the bag. The original package also works very well, provided it’s rolled tightly between uses to maintain airtight conditions after opening. Rather than a garage with large temperature fluctuations, the best storage is in your home in a cool, dry place at room temperature.
