Nutro So Simple Dog Chicken and Duck Dog Food Topper

A topper in 2.0 oz trays, made to add to a bowl rather than to feed on its own. With the water taken out it is 75% protein and 2% fat, and each tray carries 30 kcal.

  • Topper, not a complete meal
  • 2.0 oz tray
  • 88% water
Protein is 75.0% once the water is taken out, above the topper median of 42%. The label prints 9.0% because that figure includes the water. One tray carries 30 kcal and about 1.8 oz of water.

Declaration

Exactly as the tray prints it, heaviest first

Chicken, Chicken Bone Broth, Duck, Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans, Potatoes, Flaxseed Oil

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 TOPPER MEDIAN
PROTEIN 9.0% 75.0% 42.3%
FAT 0.2% 1.7% 17.5%
FIBER 1.5% 12.5% -
CARBS (EST.) - 0.0% -

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

RECALL HISTORY // NUTRO

No Recalls In Our Record Since 2012

We have not matched any FDA recall to Nutro. We check the feed daily and this page updates when that changes. See the recall log

SAME LINE

Other Flavors

So Simple Dog Chicken & Chicken and Duck 78.6%

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 tray. 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.
