Label analysis
Nutritional profile of the food
The calculated energy density of these croquettes is approximately 380 Kcal per 100g.
27.8% of the total energy is provided by proteins
42.3% of total energy is provided by assimilable carbohydrates 30% of total energy is provided by lipids or fats

Proteins
Quantitative protein analysis
The calculated protein-calorie ratio of Royal Canin Beagle Adult is approximately 79g of protein for 1000Kcal. The protein content of these kibbles is theoretically sufficient to cover the needs of a whole and active adult beagle or a neutered or sedentary dog. On the other hand, they do not seem to be suitable for a beagle who is both neutered or sedentary.

The first ingredient on the list is a source of animal protein (dehydrated poultry protein). It is therefore the one that is used in the largest quantities before cooking-extrusion of the croquettes.
" Least"
The proportions and exact origin of animal proteins are not specified in the list of ingredients. The latter also mentions 5 vegetable protein sources, against only 2 animal protein sources.

In these kibbles, lipids are mainly provided by animal fats, fish oil, soybean oil and borage oil. The respective omega-6 and in omega-3 are 2.66% and 0.64% including 0.30% of EPA and DHA (long chain omega-3).
" The most"
These croquettes are sources of long-chain omega-3s and they have a fairly balanced omega-ratio, close to 4.

In these kibbles, the main sources of assimilable carbohydrates are corn, rice and wheat. The estimated percentage of assimilable carbohydrates of these kibbles is approximately 41%.
Absorbable carbohydrates are carbohydrates that provide energy in the form of calories to the dog. Their percentage is calculated according to the following formula: %assimilable carbohydrates=100-%proteins-%lipids-%cellulose-%ash-%moisture. When not specified by the manufacturer, humidity is estimated at 10%.
" Least"
These kibbles multiply the sources of assimilable carbohydrates and seem a little too rich in assimilable carbohydrates for the dog. They have a calculated nitrogen-free extractant rate of 41%.

The percentages of calcium and phosphorus in these kibbles are 0.70% and 0.90%, i.e. a calcium/phosphorus ratio of 1.3.
" The most"
These kibbles follow FEDIAF recommendations in terms of calcium and phosphorus content.
