- First meat
- pork by-products, second on the list. Named meats near the top: pork by-products, chicken by-products and pork liver.

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.
