The applesauce in the name appears on the list as apples, 13th, well behind pork, pork meat and bone meal, oatmeal and barley. A cup of this Four-Star kibble is 379 calories, and Fromm says it meets AAFCO's profiles for all life stages, including growth of dogs 70 lb or more as adults.

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
