Diamond Naturals

Light Adult Dog Lamb Meal & Rice Formula

DogDry

The “Light” in the name shows up on the label as 310 calories a cup, at least 6% fat and up to 8% fiber. Lamb meal comes first, then brown rice, oatmeal and barley, and Diamond Naturals says this adult dog kibble meets AAFCO's Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

Nutrition

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.

Manufacturer values are the label guaranteed analysis (minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fiber and moisture), not a typical analysis. Dry-matter figures are PawFYI estimates calculated from the moisture value. Ash assumed 6% (dry food, not published). Carbohydrate calculated by difference from the label values.

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
