What does this pet food label actually say?

Paste the ingredients and the guaranteed analysis. The rules are sourced; the marketing is not scored.

A pet food label is a legal document with a lot of advertising printed around it. Paste the parts that are regulated, the ingredient list and the guaranteed analysis, and this page reads them the way a veterinary nutritionist would: what the first ingredients are, what the percentages become once the water and the calories are taken into account, what the small AAFCO sentence means, and what the words on the front are allowed to mean. There is no score out of 100, because nobody can show what such a score is based on. Nothing you type leaves your browser; a photo, if you use one, goes to a reading service and is not stored.
