Starch works out at 34.0% of this cup, below the kibble average. Protein comes in at 25.5%. One cup carries 357 kcal. The label figure we hold lists 11.5% crude fiber, far above typical kibble. If that is a misprint, the starch estimate here is too low. We are re-checking the bag.

    RECALL HISTORY // EUKANUBA

    1 FDA Recall On Record

    AUG 14, 2013
    POTENTIAL SALMONELLA

    Limited lots of Iams and Eukanuba dry dog and cat food (P&G) Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

    None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

    SAME LINE

    Other Flavors

    Adult Large Breed Chicken 24.4% Breed Specific Adult Labrador Retriever 25.6% Adult Small Bites 27.2% Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 28.9%

    Protein on a dry matter basis, read the same way.

    One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, 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 bag. 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.
