Acana Wholesome Grains Small Breed Dry Dog Food Directions:
- Just like you, your puppy or dog is a unique individual and their feeding requirements will vary with breed, environment, age and activity.
- Use the below feeding guide as a starting point, and monitor your puppy or dog’s weight, adjusting amounts as needed.
- Feed your pet twice daily and always keep fresh, clean water available.
