Guaranteed analysis

Nutrient	On the label	Dry matter (calculated)
Crude Protein	24% min	26.8%
Crude Fat	12% min	13.4%
Crude Fiber	3.5% max	3.9%
Moisture	10.5% max	—
Phosphorus	0.36% min	0.4%
Taurine	0.13% min	0.1%

Dry matter takes the water out (value ÷ (100 − moisture) × 100), so wet and dry foods can be compared on one scale.

Carbohydrates and calories (estimates)

About 47.9% of the dry matter is carbohydrate, worked out by difference: labels don't state it. The label states no ash, so 8% of dry matter is assumed (a typical value).
