The four types are dogfood and their specifications are as follows.

Puppy-Love: At least 40% is protein, at least 30% is fat, no more than 10% is grain.

Muscle-Pooch: At least 55% is protein, no more than 15% is fat

Adult-K-nine: At least 30% is protein, at least 25% is grain

Senior-General: At least 30% is grain
