Purina Beneful (Freshly Prepared Toppers and Bone Broths) Beneful Freshly Prepared Toppers Beef Recipe Dog Food Topper

A topper in 2.0 oz pouches, made to add to a bowl rather than to feed on its own. With the water taken out it is 40% protein and 23% fat, and each pouch carries 86 kcal.

  • Topper, not a complete meal
  • 2.0 oz pouch
  • 70% water
Protein is 40.0% once the water is taken out, below the topper median of 42%. The label prints 12.0% because that figure includes the water. One pouch carries 86 kcal and about 1.4 oz of water.

Full Ingredient
Declaration

Exactly as the pouch prints it, heaviest first

Beef, beef broth, pasta (wheat flour), peas, carrots, chicken flavor, natural flavor, vegetable oil

Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so the tail of the list is present in very small amounts.

NUTRITION WITH THE WATER TAKEN OUT

Wet food is mostly water, so the label’s percentages look small next to kibble. Taking the water out is the only fair way to compare it with other foods.

NUTRIENT ON THE LABEL WATER OUT TOPPER MEDIAN
PROTEIN 12.0% 40.0% 42.5%
FAT 7.0% 23.3% 18.0%
FIBER 2.0% 6.7% -
CARBS (EST.) - 23.3% -

Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.

Showing the latest 5 of 6. None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, calories, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a pouch. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
