Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 37.1%; 50.0% on the jelly mix, 36.8% on the puppy and senior.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 34.9%; 16.4% on the jelly mix, the only label without cereals.

Chicken is what nearly every dog eats first; step past it if chicken has caused bother before.

Every pouch is 40% or 46% chunks in jelly or gravy, and the named meat figure applies inside the chunks, not across the pouch. Meat and animal derivatives leads every list, cereals follow on all but the jelly mix, and various sugars and flavourings close them.

The vegetables are the most open part of the range, printed as a dehydrated weight and a fresh equivalent. Energy is declared, at 75 kcal per 100g on the adult pouches and 84 on the puppy box.
