Dave’s Pet Food Restricted Diet Low Phosphorus Tuna Paté Dog Food Topper

A topper, made to add to a bowl rather than to feed on its own. With the water taken out it is 8% protein and 9% fat.

  • Topper, not a complete meal
  • Paté
  • 81% water
Protein is 7.9% once the water is taken out, below the topper median of 42%. The label prints 1.5% because that figure includes the water.

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.

Other topper recipes with the closest protein, fat and moisture as fed, the way the label prints them. Prescription diets are left out.

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.
