Ingredient Wiki
Water
Plain water, used to make the recipe mixable and, in wet food, to fill the can.
Beef
The clean flesh of cattle, used fresh. Like all fresh meats it is mostly water before cooking.
Pork Kidney
Pork Liver
The liver of the pig, an organ meat.
Carrots
The root of the carrot plant, used fresh, cooked or dried.
What’s in the can
- First ingredient
- Water, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
- First meat
- Beef, second on the list. Named meats near the top: Beef, Pork Kidney and Pork Liver.
- Thickeners and binders
- Wheat Flour, Rice Starch, Corn Starch, Guar Gum and Sodium Tripolyphosphate. They give the food its texture and hold pieces together. Normal in wet food; starches and flours also add carbohydrate.
- Added color
- Caramel color. Color is there for the person opening the can; it adds nothing for the dog.
- Flagged additives
- vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, Ascorbic Acid (source of Vitamin C), Thiamine Mononitrate, Niacin Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, Biotin, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (source of Vitamin K), Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement).

Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so everything after the divider is present in an even smaller amount.
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.

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