Declaration
Exactly as the can prints it, heaviest first
Chicken, Sufficient Water For Processing, Meat By-Products, Animal Liver, Lamb, Brown Rice, Flax Seed, Minerals (Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Selenium, Copper Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Potassium Iodide), Carrageenan, Added Color, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Dried Yam, Xanthan Gum, Vitamins (Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement), Guar Gum, Fish Oil, Sodium Nitrate (For Color Retention)
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 | TOPPER MEDIAN |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROTEIN | 8.0% | 36.4% | 42.1% |
| FAT | 6.0% | 27.3% | 18.8% |
| FIBER | 1.0% | 4.5% | - |
| CARBS (EST.) | - | 22.7% | - |
Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.
