Full Ingredient
Declaration

Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first

Boneless Beef, Whole Eggs, Sweet Potato, Filtered Water Sufficient for Processing, Taurine, Minerals (Calcium Carbonate, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Potassium Iodide, Manganese Sulfate, Selenium Yeast, Manganese Proteinate), Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Niacinamide, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate, Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Acetate, Folic Acid, Riboflavin, Biotin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement)

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 WET FOOD MEDIAN
PROTEIN 9.0% 50.0% 43.2%
FAT 8.0% 44.4% 22.2%
FIBER 1.0% 5.6% -

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

    RECALL HISTORY // AGAINST THE GRAIN

    No Recalls In Our Record Since 2012

    We have not matched any FDA recall to Against the Grain. We check the feed daily and this page updates when that changes. See the recall log

    Other Flavors

    The Good Egg - Bacon N Eggs Scramble 50.0% Pulled Chicken with Gravy Dinner 55.6% The Good Egg - Denver Omelet 44.4% Pulled Beef with Gravy Dinner 55.6%

    Protein with the water taken out, read the same way.

    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 can. 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.
