Every tray prints its meat share, and nothing dips below 72% animal content: chicken at 72%, duck 41% with turkey 31%, duck 50% with chicken 22%, salmon alone at 86%. No cereal appears; squash, sweet potato or potato carry a little starch.

Salmon oil at 0.5% is on three trays, and seaweed, yucca and a prebiotic run through all four. In dry matter, protein spans 37.5% to 44.2% and carbohydrate 7.3% to 20.4%.
