Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so everything after the divider is present in an even smaller amount.
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% | 44.4% | 43.2% |
| FAT | 4.0% | 22.2% | 22.2% |
| FIBER | 1.5% | 8.3% | - |
| CARBS (EST.) | - | 13.9% | - |
Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.
