Dog food brands
Every brand we carry, A to Z. Each brand page lists every recipe with its protein, fat and starch worked out from the label, and the brand's FDA recall record. The averages below cover each brand's dry food only, on a dry-matter basis for protein, so one brand's kibble can be read against another's.

Protein is the dry-food average on a dry-matter basis, with the water removed. Starch is estimated from the guaranteed analysis, as fed, because no manufacturer prints it. A dash means the brand has fewer than two dry recipes with a complete label. How the figures are worked out.
