Water sufficient for processing, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
First meat
chicken, second on the list. Named meats near the top: chicken, beef liver and beef.
Thickeners and binders
pork plasma, wheat flour, guar gum, sodium tripolyphosphate and xanthan gum. They give the food its texture and hold pieces together. Normal in wet food; starches and flours also add carbohydrate.
Added color
None listed.

Declaration

Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first

Water sufficient for processing, chicken, beef liver, beef, tomato, carrots, pork plasma, peas, wheat flour, pork broth, powdered cellulose, ground flaxseed, guar gum, vegetable oil, sodium tripolyphosphate, natural flavors, calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, xanthan gum, magnesium oxide, choline chloride, trace minerals [zinc oxide, ferrous sulfate, zinc proteinate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, sodium selenite, calcium iodate], vitamins [DL-alpha tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), D-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), vitamin A acetate, niacin supplement, riboflavin supplement, biotin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, folic acid, vitamin D3 supplement]

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 8.0% 42.8% 43.2%
FAT 4.0% 21.4% 22.2%

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

    RECALL HISTORY // EUKANUBA

    1 FDA Recall On Record

    AUG 14, 2013
    POTENTIAL SALMONELLA

    Limited lots of Iams and Eukanuba dry dog and cat food (P&G) 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

    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.
