What’s in the pouch
- First ingredient
- Beef Broth, 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, Chicken, Chicken Liver and Dried Egg Whites.
- Thickeners and binders
- Wheat Gluten, Modified Tapioca Starch, Sodium Tripolyphosphate and Xanthan Gum. They give the food its texture and hold pieces together. Normal in wet food; starches and flours also add carbohydrate.
- Added color
- Caramel Color and Iron Oxide. Color is there for the person opening the pouch; it adds nothing for the dog.
- Flagged additives
- None from our list.

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.
