READING THE LIST

What’s in the can

First meat
Chicken, first on the list. Named meats near the top: Chicken and Beef.
Thickeners and binders
Carrageenan, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Xanthan Gum 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
Added Color. Color is there for the person opening the can; it adds nothing for the dog.
Flagged additives
None from our list.

Full Ingredient
Declaration

Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first

Chicken, Meat By-Products, Sufficient Water for Processing, Beef, Brewers Rice, Minerals (Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Selenium, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide), Dried Yam, Carrageenan, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Xanthan Gum, Added Color, Vitamins (Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement), Natural Bison Flavor, Guar Gum, Sodium Nitrite (For Color Retention)

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 WET FOOD MEDIAN
PROTEIN 11.0% 50.0% 43.2%
FAT 6.0% 27.3% 22.2%
FIBER 1.0% 4.5% -
CARBS (EST.) - 9.1% -

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

    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 can. 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.
