Variety Pack Senior 7+ Wet Dog Food, 13-oz can, case of 12

Wet and fresh foods contain more water than kibble (typically 65-78%). On a dry-matter basis, this food's protein content is roughly 16%, comparable to premium kibble (typically 30-45% DMB protein).

1. 1

   chicken & barley entrée: water
2. 2

   chicken

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

   protein animal
3. 3

   cracked pearled barley

   Pre-cracked pearled barley for better digestibility. Same whole-grain story.

4. 4

   pork liver

   Organ meat. Dense in B vitamins, iron, and vitamin A. Among the most nutritious ingredients on any label.

5. 5

   whole grain corn

   Whole corn with the kernel intact. Decent fiber and B vitamins, though it can crowd out meat in cheaper recipes.

6. 6

   dried whey
7. 7

   dried beet pulp

   Soluble fiber from sugar-beet processing. Sometimes treated as a filler, but it's actually one of the better fiber sources in kibble.

8. 8

   corn protein meal

   Concentrated corn protein. Similar in role to corn gluten meal, pads the protein number on the label without matching meat amino acids.

9. 9

   chicken liver flavor

   Hydrolyzed chicken liver used as a flavor enhancer. Real ingredient, used in tiny amounts for palatability.

10. 10

    soybean oil

    Plant oil. High in omega-6, which is required but commonly oversupplied. Fine in moderation.

11. 11

    flaxseed

    Plant source of omega-3. Helpful for skin and coat, though dogs absorb omega-3 from fish more efficiently.

    fat
12. 12

    calcium carbonate

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

    mineral
13. 13

    potassium chloride

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

    mineral
14. 14

    choline chloride

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

    supplement
15. 15

    oats

    Whole grain. Steady energy, soluble fiber, and well-tolerated by most dogs.

    grain
16. 16

    salt

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

    mineral
17. 17

    dicalcium phosphate

    Calcium and phosphorus combined. Required source of both minerals, especially in formulas without much bone content.

    mineral
18. 18

    fructooligosaccharides

    Prebiotic fiber, often called FOS. Feeds beneficial gut bacteria, similar in function to inulin.

    fiber
19. 19

    zinc oxide

    Inorganic zinc. Cheapest mineral form on the market. Functional but less bioavailable than chelated alternatives.

20. 20

    ferrous sulfate

    Inorganic iron. Standard mineral source. Iron proteinate is the gentler, better-absorbed premium form.

    mineral
21. 21

    manganese sulfate

    Inorganic manganese. Functional but less well-absorbed than the chelated proteinate form.

    mineral
22. 22

    copper sulfate

    Inorganic copper. Standard, effective at small doses. Premium formulas tend to use copper proteinate instead.

    mineral
23. 23

    calcium iodate

    Source of iodine for thyroid function. Functional, required in complete formulas.

    mineral
24. 24

    beta-carotene. beef & barley entrée: water
25. 25

    beef

    Real meat. Dense in protein and iron. Some dogs are sensitive to it, but for most it's an excellent base.
