Hill's Science Diet

Adult Large Breed Chicken & Barley Recipe Dog Food

DogDry

Chicken and barley, the two ingredients in the name, are also the first two on the list in this dry food for large-breed adult dogs. Hill's publishes dry-matter averages, so the 23.8% protein already has the water taken out, and a cup is 365 calories. Hill's says AAFCO feeding tests show it's complete and balanced 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.

Manufacturer values as published by the maker. The maker publishes dry-matter values; no conversion was needed. Carbohydrate is not estimated because protein, fat, fiber or moisture is not published.

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
