Declaration
Exactly as the serving prints it, heaviest first
Water Sufficient for Processing, Beef, Beef Bone Broth, Chickpeas, Whole Ground Flaxseed, Apples, Carrots, Peas, Pumpkin, Tapioca Starch, Sunflower Oil, Celery Root, Calcium Carbonate, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Niacin Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid), Minerals (Zinc Amino Acid Chelate, Iron Amino Acid Chelate, Copper Amino Acid Chelate, Manganese Amino Acid Chelate, Iodine Amino Acid Chelate, Selenium Yeast), Marine Microalgae Oil (Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids), Tricalcium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Taurine
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.
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 | 5.0% | 27.8% | 43.2% |
| FAT | 2.0% | 11.1% | 22.2% |
| FIBER | 2.0% | 11.1% | - |

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