Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so the tail of the list is present in very small amounts.

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 10.0% 45.5% 43.2%
FAT 6.0% 27.3% 22.2%
FIBER 1.0% 4.5% -

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

    RECALL HISTORY // NUTRISOURCE

    1 FDA Recall On Record

    OCT 11, 2021
    ELEVATED LEVELS OF VITAMIN D

    Pure Vita Salmon Entrée Dog Food Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

    None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

    Beef & Rice 40.9% Chicken & Rice Small & Medium Breed Puppy 43.2% Senior Chicken & Rice 36.4% Chicken & Rice Puppy 38.6%

    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.
