Adult 6+ Large Breed Chicken Meal, Barley & Rice Recipe Dog Food
Chicken meal leads this dry food for large-breed dogs 6 and older, and grains fill the next six spots, from cracked pearled barley to whole grain oats. Protein is 18.7% in Hill's dry-matter figures, which already leave out the water, and a cup is 352 calories. Hill's cites AAFCO feeding tests for adult maintenance.

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.
