Declaration

trout, vegetable broth, duck, turkey, turkey liver, brown rice flour, barley flour, dried egg product, dehydrated alfalfa meal, agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, dried cranberries, choline chloride, taurine, minerals (zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, selenium yeast, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, ethylenediamine dihydroiodide), hydrolyzed yeast, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, niacin, thiamine mononitrate, d-calcium pantothenate, vitamin A supplement, riboflavin supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, vitamin B12 supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, biotin, folic acid), dried kelp, yucca schidigera extract, brewers dried yeast
Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so the tail of the list is present in very small amounts.
Wet food is mostly water, so the label’s percentages look small next to kibble. Taking the water out is the only fair way to compare it with other foods.

Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.
