Cat and dog foods

Chicken leads this dry food for adult cats, with rice and chicken by-product meal right behind it. It's 34% protein on the label, about 39% with the water out, and 403 calories a cup. Purina says AAFCO feeding tests show it's complete and balanced for adult cats' maintenance.

The four proteins in the name, chicken, eggs, salmon and beef, are also the first four ingredients in this refrigerated puppy recipe. It's 18% protein, about 44% with the 59% water out, and a cup is 259 calories. Freshpet says it meets AAFCO's profile for growth, including large dogs (70 lb or more as adults).

Turkey comes first in this grain-free roll, and spinach, blueberries and cranberries all land before the turkey broth. Its 10% protein is about 42% once the 76% water is out. Freshpet says it meets AAFCO's profile for all life stages, including the growth of large dogs (70 lb or more as adults).

Salmon is in the name, but it's fifth in this soft roll for senior dogs, behind chicken, chicken liver, chicken broth and cranberries. Freshpet markets it to seniors, yet says it meets AAFCO's Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, and half a pound is 258 calories.

Turkey leads and carrots come second in this refrigerated roll, ahead of turkey broth, eggs and brown rice. It's 76% water, so the 9.5% protein on the label is about 40% with the water out, and half a pound is 365 calories. Freshpet says it meets AAFCO's Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.

Poultry fills the first three spots in this grain-free kibble for adult dogs, duck, duck meal and chicken meal, before sweet potatoes and peas. It's 32% protein (about 36% with the water out) and 425 calories a cup, and the maker says it meets AAFCO's Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.

Whitefish leads, but chicken is third, right after fish broth, in this canned food for cats and kittens, so it isn't fish-only. It's 9.5% protein, about 43% with the 78% water out, and a 5.5 oz can is 154 calories. Diamond Naturals says it meets AAFCO's Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for growth and maintenance.

Royal Canin built this dry food for adult Yorkshire Terriers from 10 months to 8 years, and two rices, brewers and brown, come before the chicken by-product meal in third. Protein is 25.5% (about 28% with the water out), fat 16%, and a cup is 336 calories. The maker says it meets AAFCO's maintenance profile for dogs.
