Acana is a premium line of pet food known for its 'Biologically Appropriate' philosophy, which focuses on high protein content and fresh animal ingredients. The brand was established by Champion Petfoods, a company that began its journey in Alberta, Canada. Acana recipes are traditionally crafted in the company’s own state-of-the-art kitchens, specifically NorthStar in Alberta and DogStar in Kentucky, ensuring a 'farm-to-bowl' supply chain that utilizes local ingredients from fishers, farmers, and ranchers.

In recent years, the brand transitioned from a family-owned Canadian enterprise to a global powerhouse following a major acquisition. As of 2023, the brand is part of the Mars, Incorporated family, one of the world's largest privately-owned businesses. This acquisition has integrated Acana into a massive global pet care network, while maintaining the brand's commitment to high-quality, grain-free, and nutrient-dense formulations for dogs and cats.
