READING THE LIST

What’s in the tub

First ingredient
Water, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
First meat
Lamb, second on the list. Named meats near the top: Lamb, Egg Product, Chicken and Egg Albumin.
Thickeners and binders
Tapioca Starch and Guar 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. Color is there for the person opening the tub; it adds nothing for the dog.
Flagged additives
Vitamins (Vitamin E Supplement, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (Source Of Vitamin C), Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin A Supplement, Niacin, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Biotin, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite (Source Of Vitamin K Activity)). Why we flag these.

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.

NUTRIENT ON THE LABEL WATER OUT WET FOOD MEDIAN
PROTEIN 9.0% 40.9% 43.2%
FAT 5.0% 22.7% 22.2%
FIBER 2.0% 9.1% -
CARBS (EST.) - 18.2% -

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

    Other wet food 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 tub. 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.
