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) | 33% | 36.3% |
| Fat (min) | 14% | 15.4% |
| Fiber (max) | 4% | 4.4% |
| Ash | not listed | - |
| Carbohydrates (estimate) | 33% | 36.3% |
| Moisture (max) | 9% | - |
| Calories | 3,898 kcal/kg · 413 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.

Estimated Monthly Cost
By your cat's weight, using an estimated daily amount and the cheapest bag. Your cat may eat more or less.
We could not find the maker's feeding chart. These amounts come from a general formula: the calories on the label (3,898 kcal/kg) and the daily energy a cat of that weight needs according to the Merck Veterinary Manual, using the figure for a neutered adult. The chart on the bag may say something different.
