READING THE LIST

What’s in the can

First ingredient
Water Sufficient For Processing, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
First meat
Animal Fat (preserved With Bha/bht), fifth on the list, and it does not name the animal.
Thickeners and binders
Wheat Flour and Modified Food Starch. They give the gravy its body and hold pieces together. Normal in wet food; starches and flours also add carbohydrate.
Added color
Caramel Color, Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxide. Color is there for the person opening the can; it adds nothing for the dog.
Flagged additives
Animal Fat (preserved With Bha/bht). Why we flag these.

NUTRITION WITH THE WATER TAKEN OUT

Wet food is mostly water, so the label’s percentages look small next to kibble. Taking the water out is the only fair way to compare it with other foods.

NUTRIENT ON THE LABEL WATER OUT WET FOOD MEDIAN
PROTEIN 8.0% 44.4% 43.2%
FAT 3.0% 16.7% 22.2%
FIBER 1.5% 8.3% -

Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.

    RECALL HISTORY // GRAVY TRAIN

    No Recalls In Our Record Since 2012

    We have not matched any FDA recall to Gravy Train. We check the feed daily and this page updates when that changes. See the recall log

    Chunks In Gravy With Chicken Chunks 38.9% Chunks In Gravy With T-Bone Flavor Chunks 41.7% Ground Dinner With Chicken 36.4% Meaty Ground Dinner With Beef & Bacon 36.4%

    Protein with the water taken out, read the same way.

    One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, calories, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a can. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
