Eagle Pack Original is a two recipe kibble line. Each recipe starts with a named meat meal and then a grain base of ground brown rice, dehulled barley and oatmeal. Neither recipe is grain free. The Lamb Meal & Brown Rice Formula Adult is labeled for adult dogs, and the Chicken Meal & Pork Meal Formula is labeled for all life stages.
Protein runs from 23% to 26% and fat from 12% to 14%, as fed. Estimated starch spans 40% to 45%, and calories run from 337 to 350 kcal per cup. Chicken appears in both recipes. Lamb and fish appear only in the lamb formula, and pork only in the chicken and pork formula. Only the chicken and pork recipe lists peas or lentils.
The catalog kibble average is 26.9% protein, 37.4% estimated starch and 395 kcal per cup. Both recipes come in below that average for protein and calories and above it for starch. So this is a grain based kibble with fewer calories per cup than average, not a high protein one.
