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 label | Dry matter | |
|---|---|---|
| Protein (min) | 32% | 35.6% |
| Fat (min) | 15% | 16.7% |
| Fiber (max) | 3% | 3.3% |
| Ash | not listed | - |
| Carbohydrates (estimate) | 33% | 36.7% |
| Moisture (max) | 10% | - |
| Calories | 3,722 kcal/kg · 387 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.
