Diamond Naturals

Small & Medium Breed Puppy Chicken & Rice Formula

DogDry

Made for small and medium breed puppies, this kibble packs at least 32% protein and 22% fat, and 453 calories a cup. Chicken and chicken meal come first. Diamond Naturals says it meets AAFCO's profile for all life stages except the growth of large dogs (70 lb or more as adults), which matches the sizes on the bag.

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
