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.

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
