Diamond Care Sensitive Stomach Formula for Adult Dogs Dry Dog Food
The first five ingredients are Potatoes, Egg Product, Potato Protein, Tomato Pomace, Chicken Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols). 2 of them are a named animal protein. We put the starch at 47.8%, above the 38.51% average across the foods we hold.
Nothing alarming here, but a few of the figures sit below what we see across the archive.
How we got to 59
Five things, one hundred points, and the reason for every one. We would rather show our working than ask you to trust a number.
26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.
Estimated, 6% ash assumed.
Count of named animal proteins.
Matched against the flag list.
Manufacturer, not recipe.
The numbers, without the water
Percentages on a bag include the water in the food, so a wet food always looks lower than a dry one. Taking the water out puts any two foods on the same footing. This one is 90% dry matter.
That is 9.3 points above average, so proportionally more of the bag is starch.

What those first ingredients actually are
The top of the list is most of the food by weight, so it is worth knowing what each one is. Green marks a named animal protein.
Potatoes
The tuber of the potato plant, cooked and used as a grain-free carbohydrate.
Egg Product
Egg content processed into a stable dry or liquid ingredient, minus the shell.
Potato Protein
The protein fraction separated from potatoes after the starch is removed.
Tomato Pomace
The skins, pulp and seeds left after tomatoes are pressed for juice.
How much of this to feed
A starting point, worked out from the resting energy formula vets use and this food's own calorie density. Every dog is different, so watch their weight and adjust. Your vet's advice beats a calculator.

Recall history
Recalls are matched to the manufacturer, not this exact recipe. A recall on a different product still tells you something about the plant it came from.
We have not matched any FDA recall to Diamond. We check the feed daily and this page updates when that changes.
