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.

| PROTEIN | 10.0% | 45.5% | 43.2% |

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