High Protein With Real Beef Dry Dog Food
“High protein” here means 27% on the label, about 30% with the water out, but the first three ingredients are whole grain corn, poultry by-product meal and corn protein meal, and the beef sits seventh. A cup is 436 calories, and Purina says it's formulated to meet AAFCO's Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult 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.

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
