Feeding & Nutrition
FEEDING GUIDELINES
YOUR CAT IS SPECIAL
Just like you, your cat or kitten is a unique individual and his feeding
requirements will vary with his breed, environment, age and activity.
That’s why we suggest using this chart as a starting point, and monitoring your
cat or kitten’s weight and adjusting her rations as needed. We also recommend
feeding her twice daily and always keeping fresh, clean water available.
When switching diets, it’s important to transition your cat or kitten 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.

CALORIES DISTRIBUTION
ACANA mirrors the meat and
protein concentrated diets that all cats are evolved to eat, while reducing the
carbohydrates and high-glycemic grains that cause blood sugar levels to rise and
fluctuate.
Compared to conventional foods, ACANA delivers more calories from protein and
fat and fewer calories from carbohydrates, reducing the risk of obesity and
diabetes and promoting your cat’s peak health.
