Home Delights Variety Pack Small Breed Adult Wet Dog Food, 3.5-oz tray, case of 24

Wet and fresh foods contain more water than kibble (typically 65-78%). On a dry-matter basis, this food's protein content is roughly 39%, comparable to premium kibble (typically 30-45% DMB protein).

1. 1

   beef stew: beef
2. 2

   chicken broth

   Real broth, adds flavor and moisture. Negligible nutrition on its own but tells you the recipe leans on real meat.

3. 3

   water

   Just water. Counted on the label of any wet or fresh food. The number tells you the moisture content.

4. 4

   chicken

   Real meat. Primary protein source, with the amino acid profile dogs actually evolved to eat.

   protein animal
5. 5

   potato

   Standard white potato. Steady carb source, common starch in grain-free recipes.

   vegetable
6. 6

   chicken liver

   Organ meat. Dense in protein, iron, vitamin A, and the B vitamins. Among the most nutrient-rich ingredients a dog can eat.

7. 7

   carrots

   Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, and a small amount of antioxidant value.

   vegetable
8. 8

   peas

   Cheap protein bulk. Fine in small amounts, but when peas stack with lentils and chickpeas in the top ingredients, it's the pattern the FDA flagged in its heart-disease investigation. See why →

   legume
9. 9

   animal plasma
10. 10

    corn starch
11. 11

    chicken heart

    Organ meat. Dense in taurine, B vitamins, and CoQ10. One of the best ingredients dogs can eat.

    protein animal
12. 12

    wheat gluten

    Concentrated wheat protein. Like other plant gluten meals, it pads the protein number on the label without contributing meat-quality amino acids.

    protein plant
13. 13

    dried plain beet pulp

    Beet fiber, with the sugar removed. Long unfairly maligned. It's a real soluble fiber that supports stool quality.

14. 14

    dried egg product

    Whole eggs with the water removed. Same nutritional value as fresh eggs, just shelf-stable.

15. 15

    salt

    Sodium chloride. Required at small doses for normal physiology. Not a quality concern in standard amounts.

    mineral
16. 16

    calcium carbonate

    Source of calcium. Functional. Required in complete dog foods, especially those without bone-in meat meals.

    mineral
17. 17

    potassium chloride

    Required mineral. Sometimes used as a salt substitute. Standard inclusion in complete diets.

    mineral
18. 18

    choline chloride

    Essential nutrient for liver and brain function. Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.

    supplement
19. 19

    sodium tripolyphosphate

    Preservative and texture agent in wet food. Functional at small doses, not a major concern, but some brands avoid it.

    mineral
20. 20

    added color

    Generic coloring. Doesn't say if natural or artificial. Dogs are color-blind, so any added color is for the human shopper.

21. 21

    zinc sulfate

    Inorganic zinc. Effective at AAFCO doses but less well-absorbed than chelated forms like zinc proteinate.

    mineral
22. 22

    magnesium proteinate

    Magnesium bound to protein for better absorption. The premium chelated form.

23. 23

    xanthan gum

    Thickener common in wet food and gravies. Same emulsifier-microbiome conversation as guar gum, not a clear flag.

    fiber
24. 24

    dl-methionine

    Essential amino acid. Often added when plant proteins dominate, since methionine is naturally lower in pulses than meat.

    supplement
25. 25

    guar gum

    Thickener common in wet food. Emerging research on emulsifiers and the gut microbiome, but no smoking gun in dogs yet.
