Cocker Spaniel Adult
If you look for meat at the top of the list, this food for adult Cocker Spaniels (12 months and older) starts with brewers rice, brown rice and oat groats instead; chicken by-product meal is fourth. It's 23% protein (about 26% with the water out) and 304 calories a cup, and Royal Canin says it meets AAFCO's maintenance profile.

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
