AAFCO: NUTRO states that all Nutro recipes, including this one, are formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for the specific life stage (per manufacturer). This is a company wide statement published in the site FAQ; no per-recipe AAFCO statement is published on this product's own page. Chicken is the first ingredient.

This is a dry kibble recipe Nutro formulates under its Natural Choice line for adult maintenance. Ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, and the first five here are Chicken, Chicken Meal, Brown Rice, Barley, Oatmeal, so the fresh named protein that leads the list loses water weight during cooking while any meal further down the list contributes concentrated protein after processing. It comes in 5 lb, 13 lb bags. The manufacturer publishes a feeding chart: Small-breed table 5 lb (1/2-1/2 cup) up to 25 lb (1 1/2-1 3/4 cup). Nutro does not publish a per-recipe AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement on this product's own page; the company states elsewhere on its site that all Nutro recipes are formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for the specific life stage. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
