Declaration
Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first

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 | 7.0% | 31.8% | 43.2% |
| FAT | 7.0% | 31.8% | 22.2% |
| FIBER | 1.0% | 4.5% | - |
| CARBS (EST.) | - | 22.7% | - |
Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.
