What Is in It

Dry matter means the food with the water taken out. It lets you compare foods with different moisture fairly.

Ashnot listed-
Carbohydrates (estimate)22%24.2%

Calories3,835 kcal/kg · 443 kcal/cup

Label numbers are limits, not exact amounts: protein and fat are minimums, fiber and moisture are maximums.

Labels do not list carbohydrates, and this one does not list ash either. We estimate carbohydrates by assuming 7% ash, a typical value for dry cat food, and subtracting everything else from 100.
