Full Ingredient
Declaration

Exactly as the serving prints it, heaviest first

Chicken, Chicken Broth, Water Sufficient for Processing, Tuna, Pumpkin, Tapioca Starch, Sunflower Oil, Calcium Lactate, Xanthan Gum, Calcium Carbonate, Zinc Sulfate, Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Ferrous Sulfate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Niacin, Vitamin A Supplement, Copper Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Potassium Iodide, Vitamin B12 Supplement

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 10.0% 58.8% 43.2%
FAT 1.4% 8.2% 22.2%
FIBER 1.0% 5.9% -
CARBS (EST.) - 15.3% -

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

    RECALL HISTORY // SIMPLY NOURISH

    1 FDA Recall On Record

    AUG 13, 2021
    DUE TO ELEVATED LEVELS OF VITAMIN D

    Frozen dog food Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

    None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

    Original Adult 58.8% Grain Free 47.1% Original - Shreds, Chicken, Beef & Pasta Stew 47.1% Gut Health Recipe Adult 60.7%

    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 serving. 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.
