Paté Turkey & Giblets Dinner

CatWet

The name says turkey, but the ingredient list puts it fourth, after meat by-products, water and poultry by-products. That's allowed for a “dinner”: labeling rules only require the named ingredients together to make up 25% of the food, not counting added water. What's in the can is a paté for adult cats, 78% water and 171 calories, that Purina says meets AAFCO's nutrient profile for adult maintenance.

Nutrition

Labels print these numbers with the water still in, which makes a can look weak next to a bag. The dry-matter column takes the water out, so the two compare fairly.

Manufacturer values are the label guaranteed analysis (minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fiber and moisture), not a typical analysis. Dry-matter figures are PawFYI estimates calculated from the moisture value. Carbohydrate calculated by difference from the label values.

Where to buy

Store links go to each retailer’s own product page. PawFYI isn’t paid for them, and a store never changes the numbers. If that changes, anything paid will be labeled “Sponsored”. How we make money
