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)	28%	31.8%
Fat (min)	11%	12.5%
Fiber (max)	3%	3.4%
Ash	not listed	-
Carbohydrates (estimate)	39%	44.3%
Moisture (max)	12%	-
Calories	3,516 kcal/kg · 398 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.
