What Is in It

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

On the labelDry matter

Fat (min)17.7%19.2%
Fiber (max)4%4.3%
Ashnot listed-
Carbohydrates (estimate)35.4%38.5%
Moisture (max)8%-
Calories4,044 kcal/kg · 504 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.
