Ingredient Wiki
Water
Plain water, used to make the recipe mixable and, in wet food, to fill the can.
Chicken
The clean flesh of the chicken, with or without skin, used fresh. Roughly 70% of its weight is water, most…
Meat By-Products
The parts of a mammal left after the flesh is removed, without the animal being named.
Beef
The clean flesh of cattle, used fresh. Like all fresh meats it is mostly water before cooking.
Dried Egg Product
Egg content dried and processed into a concentrated, stable ingredient.
What’s in the pouch
- First ingredient
- Water, 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, Beef and Dried Egg Product.
- Thickeners and binders
- Corn Starch, 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 pouch; 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 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.
