Little Bites With Real Chicken And Beef Small Breed Dry Dog Food
The chicken and beef in the name sit eighth and ninth in this small-bite kibble, behind whole grain corn, corn protein meal and meat and bone meal; a “with” name only needs 3% under labeling rules. It's 25% protein (about 28% with the water out) and 390 calories a cup, and Purina says it meets AAFCO's adult maintenance profile.

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
