ACANA Singles Freeze-dried Dog Treats with Beef and Pumpkin, 3.25 oz bag, limited ingredients

One 3.25 oz bag of these freeze-dried dog treats holds gently freeze-dried pieces made from beef and pumpkin. Beef liver and beef supply the only animal protein, and a single treat has 4 calories. The manufacturer describes the recipe as suitable for picky dogs, and the pieces are intended for feeding or training your dog.

Beef liver, beef and whole pumpkin in the recipe

The recipe is built on three simple ingredients: beef liver, beef and whole pumpkin. Beef is the only animal source in the bag, so a dog that eats one protein at a time gets it here without other meats on the list.

The ingredient panel also names mixed tocopherols, citric acid and rosemary extract, which are listed as preservatives. The product is grain-free. The manufacturer also states that grains are processed in the same facility where the treats are made.

Feeding or training with the treats

The manufacturer lists the pieces for feeding or training your dog, with training and appetite stimulation given as the specific uses. One treat carries 4 calories, and a session of several treats adds up from that figure.

Does this bag suit your dog?

Check the protein first: beef liver and beef are the only animal ingredients, so a dog on a single-protein routine can eat these pieces. The bag holds 3.25 oz (92 g) in one pack, and at 4 calories a piece that weight sets how far a bag stretches across training sessions.

The recipe is grain-free. Grains are also processed in the same facility where the manufacturer makes the treats, a detail that matters if your dog must avoid any contact with grains.
