JustFoodForDogs Chicken & White Rice

Fresh cooked all life stages Formulated

Part of the JustFoodForDogs Fresh Frozen line. On a dry-matter basis this recipe is 28.6% protein and 10.7% fat, at 1,530 kcal per kilogram (43 kcal per oz). Its adequacy statement says the recipe is formulated to meet an AAFCO nutrient profile.

Composition as sold · 0–100% of the food by weight

Drawn from the published guaranteed analysis. The two hatched bands are inferred rather than measured: carbohydrate is estimated by difference and ash is assumed, because neither is required on a US label.

Label nutrition data

Guaranteed analysis as it appears on the label: minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fibre and moisture. The dry-matter and per-1,000-kcal columns are computed from those published figures, not restated from anywhere else. Hatched cells are values JustFoodForDogs does not publish.

First ingredients

Ingredients are listed by weight before cooking, so the first few describe most of what the recipe is made of — and nothing about the quality of any of them.

AAFCO statement

“JustFoodForDogs Chicken & White Rice Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult).”

Quoted verbatim from JustFoodForDogs's published label data, and not scored.

The two wordings are different claims. Formulated to meet means the recipe was matched to an AAFCO nutrient profile on paper. Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate means the finished food was fed to dogs under a defined protocol — a minimum of eight dogs over twenty-six weeks. Both are legal standards of adequacy; only one involved dogs, and neither is a statement about ingredient quality. We quote whichever appears verbatim, and weight it in the score above: 20 points for a feeding trial, 12 for a formulation claim.

The feeding calculator turns this food's published calorie density into a daily portion for a given weight. The cost tool converts whatever you actually pay into a cost per 1,000 kcal, which is the only way to compare a subscription box against a bag.

Manufacturers reformulate without announcing it, and a website can lag a bag by months. The panel on the pack in your hand outranks this page; where the two disagree, the pack is right and we want to know.
