Ingredient Wiki
Chicken Broth
The liquid produced by simmering chicken, used to add moisture and flavor.
Chicken
The clean flesh of the chicken, with or without skin, used fresh. Roughly 70% of its weight is water, most…
Pork Liver
The liver of the pig, an organ meat.
Brown Rice
Rice with only the inedible outer hull removed, so the bran and germ stay on the grain.
Wheat Flour
Flour milled from wheat, generally with the bran and germ removed.
What’s in the can
- First ingredient
- Chicken Broth, 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 and Pork Liver.
- Thickeners and binders
- Wheat Flour, Modified Rice Starch, Potato Starch, Pork Plasma and Guar Gum. 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 | 5.0% | 27.8% | 43.2% |
| FAT | 3.0% | 16.7% | 22.2% |

| CARBS (EST.) | - | 36.1% | - |
Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.
