Our take on the Purina Dog Chow Complete Adult Dry Dog Food Kibble Beef Flavor

Purina Dog Chow Complete Adult is a mainstream dry kibble for adult dogs, sold in a beef-flavored formula built on rice, corn, chicken and beef. It adds a broad vitamin and mineral panel, including B vitamins, vitamin E for skin and coat, and zinc, calcium and phosphorus. It suits owners who want an affordable everyday food for a healthy adult dog rather than a premium or grain-free formula. Against boutique and grain-free rivals it offers less meat and no exotic ingredients, but it is widely available and most dogs eat it readily.
