Pug Adult
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.

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
