Wellness Ninety-Five Percent Lamb Dog Food Mixer or Topper

A topper, made to add to a bowl rather than to feed on its own. With the water taken out it is 36% protein and 64% fat.

  • Topper, not a complete meal
  • 78% water
Protein is 36.4% once the water is taken out, below the topper median of 44%. The label prints 8.0% because that figure includes the water.

Declaration

Exactly as the serving prints it, heaviest first

Lamb, Water Sufficient For Processing, Natural Flavor, Cassia Gum, Carrageenan

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 TOPPER MEDIAN
PROTEIN 8.0% 36.4% 44.4%
FAT 14.0% 63.6% 18.8%
FIBER 2.5% 11.4% -
CARBS (EST.) - 0.0% -

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

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.
