Declaration
Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first
Chicken, Chicken broth, Green beans, Sweet potatoes, Natural Flavor, Tricalcium phosphate, Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Niacin Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Beta-carotene, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 supplement), Guar gum, Potassium chloride, Minerals (Zinc Oxide, Reduced Iron, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Amino Acid Complex, Sodium Selenite, Potassium Iodide), Choline Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate, Cumin, Natural Smoke Flavor
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.
| NUTRIENT | ON THE LABEL | WATER OUT | WET FOOD MEDIAN |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROTEIN | 6.5% | 36.1% | 43.2% |
| FAT | 2.0% | 11.1% | 22.2% |
| FIBER | 1.0% | 5.6% | - |
| CARBS (EST.) | - | 36.1% | - |
Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.
