Ingredient Wiki
Water
Plain water, used to make the recipe mixable and, in wet food, to fill the can.
Pork Liver
The liver of the pig, an organ meat.
Chicken
The clean flesh of the chicken, with or without skin, used fresh. Roughly 70% of its weight is water, most…
Carrots
The root of the carrot plant, used fresh, cooked or dried.
Pork Kidney
What’s in the can
- First ingredient
- Water, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
- First meat
- Pork Liver, second on the list. Named meats near the top: Pork Liver, Chicken and Pork Kidney.
- Thickeners and binders
- Wheat Flour, Corn Starch, Rice Starch, Guar Gum and Sodium Tripolyphosphate. They give the food its texture and hold pieces together. Normal in wet food; starches and flours also add carbohydrate.
- Added color
- Caramel color. Color is there for the person opening the can; it adds nothing for the dog.
- Flagged additives
- None from our list.

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 | 4.0% | 23.5% | 43.2% |

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