Ingredient concerns

• Corn Gluten Meal (medium concern): Primarily used as an inexpensive plant-based protein booster that can inflate the protein percentage on guaranteed analysis without providing the complete amino acid profile of animal proteins. Its presence in large quantities may indicate the manufacturer is supplementing with cheap protein instead of using more meat.

Guaranteed analysis (dry-matter basis)

On a dry-matter basis (water removed for a fair wet-vs-dry comparison): protein 31.8%, fat 22.7%, fiber 0%, ash 7.5%, carbohydrate 38%. By calories: 25.5% from protein, 44.1% from fat, 30.4% from carbohydrate.

AAFCO compliance

This food meets the AAFCO growth dog nutrient minimums we can verify — protein 31.8% vs 22.5% minimum, fat 22.7% vs 8.5% minimum.

Wet food, with grains, for the puppy life stage.
