Signature feature
Beef & Barley Entrée
Tender cuts in gravy beef & barley entrée
What it is Beef is mixed into the canned cuts and gravy, immediately after broth on the ingredient list. Barley is a grain in the same recipe.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Beef ranks second, so Purina's front claim has weight. Chicken and pork lungs also bring protein, so dogs with allergies to either meat need another food.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Barley sits behind chicken, wheat gluten and pork lungs. The named grain plays a supporting role in this entrée.
- 3 chicken
- 4 wheat gluten
- 5 pork lungs
- 6 barley
What’s in the can
- First ingredient
- Beef and chicken broth, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
- First meat
- beef, second on the list. Named meats near the top: beef, chicken and pork lungs.
- Thickeners and binders
- wheat gluten, guar gum and locust bean gum. They give the gravy its body and hold pieces together. Normal in wet food; starches and flours also add carbohydrate.
- Added color
- None listed.
- Flagged additives

Declaration
Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first
Beef and chicken broth, beef, chicken, wheat gluten, pork lungs, barley, carrots, liver, soy flour, egg product, spinach, minerals [potassium chloride, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, copper sulfate, manganese sulfate, potassium iodide, sodium selenite], guar gum, locust bean gum, tricalcium phosphate, vitamins [vitamin E supplement, niacin (vitamin b-3), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin b-1), calcium pantothenate (vitamin b-5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin b-6), vitamin b-12 supplement, riboflavin supplement (vitamin b-2), vitamin A supplement, folic acid (vitamin b-9), vitamin D-3 supplement, biotin (vitamin b-7)], choline chloride
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.
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.

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

How was it proven?
Formulated
Purina formulated it to meet AAFCO nutrient levels for adult maintenance. It is a daily meal for adults, not a puppy food.
-
Is it high in protein?
Above average
Its protein level exceeds the wet food average in our listings. Wheat gluten contributes too, so that protein does not all come from meat.
- Feed it to
- Healthy adult dogs that eat mixed animal proteins and grains, whose owners want a canned main meal.
- Skip it for
- Puppies, dogs with beef, chicken, pork or wheat allergies, and dogs prescribed a low-fat diet.
