Eagle Pack Reduced Fat Adult Dry Dog Food
The first five ingredients are Pork Meal, Dehulled Barley, Peas, Ground Brown Rice, Oatmeal. One of them is a named animal protein. We put the starch at 55.6%, 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 50
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 17.1 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.
Pork Meal
Pork that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal with most of the water removed.
Dehulled Barley
Barley with only the indigestible outer hull removed, leaving the bran and germ intact.
Peas
The seed of the pea plant, used whole, split or dried as a carbohydrate and plant protein source.
Brown Rice
Rice with only the inedible outer hull removed, so the bran and germ stay on the grain.
Oatmeal
Oats that have been rolled or ground, used as a whole grain carbohydrate.
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 Eagle Pack. We check the feed daily and this page updates when that changes.
