Purina Dog Chow

Owned by Nestlé Purina PetCare Kibble / retail 1 recall high

Nestlé Purina grocery-channel line introduced in 1926, one of the highest-volume dog foods in the United States. Its product pages carry the ingredient list and calorie content; the guaranteed analysis and AAFCO statement are published in a per-product label-deck PDF.

Purina Dog Chow is owned by Nestlé Purina PetCare (Nestlé S.A.). Of the 5 foods we hold, 5 publish a guaranteed analysis, 5 a calorie statement, 5 an ingredient list and 5 an AAFCO adequacy statement. Those counts are what the transparency mark above records — how we read a label.
