Adult Dog Beef Meal & Rice Formula
Beef meal is the first ingredient in this dry food for adult dogs, but grain sorghum and white rice are right behind it. Protein is at least 25%, about 28% with the water out, and a cup is 399 calories. Diamond Naturals says it's formulated to meet AAFCO's Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

Labels print these numbers with the water still in, which makes a can look weak next to a bag. The dry-matter column takes the water out, so the two compare fairly.

Where to buy
Store links go to each retailer’s own product page. PawFYI isn’t paid for them, and a store never changes the numbers. If that changes, anything paid will be labeled “Sponsored”. How we make money
