Acana Salmon with Herring Bountiful Catch cat food

Acana is a premium pet food brand known for its 'biologically appropriate' nutritional philosophy. Originally founded in the 1980s by Champion Petfoods in Alberta, Canada, the brand has built a global reputation for using fresh, regional ingredients. The specific 'Bountiful Catch' recipe is a fish-based formula containing salmon and herring, designed to meet the dietary needs of adult cats.

Historically, all Acana products were manufactured in the brand's own kitchens in Alberta. To meet growing international demand, the company expanded its production footprint. Today, Acana is manufactured in world-class kitchens located in both Canada and the United States (specifically Kentucky). This allows the brand to serve different regional markets with fresh ingredients sourced relatively locally to the production sites.

In 2023, the brand's parent company, Champion Petfoods, was acquired by Mars Petcare, a subsidiary of the global conglomerate Mars, Incorporated. Despite this transition in ownership, the brand continues to operate as an independent business unit within the Mars Pet Nutrition portfolio, maintaining its focus on the premium and specialty pet food market segments.
