Complete Adult Chicken Flavor Dry Dog Food
“Chicken flavor” on the bag only means you can taste it; labeling rules set no minimum amount, and chicken by-product meal doesn't appear until sixth, behind whole grain corn and meat and bone meal. It's 21% protein on the label, about 24% with the water out, and 405 calories a cup. Artificial colors are on the list too.

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.

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
