Royal Canin

Pug Adult

DogDry

Three grains lead this dry food for adult Pugs (10 months and older): brewers rice, brown rice and oat groats, with chicken by-product meal fourth. It's 23% protein on the label (about 26% with the water out) and 315 calories a cup. Royal Canin says it meets AAFCO's Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for 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 are the label guaranteed analysis (minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fiber and moisture), not a typical analysis. Dry-matter figures are PawFYI estimates calculated from the moisture value. Ash assumed 6% (dry food, not published). Carbohydrate calculated by difference from the label values.

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
