Counted, not estimated. Nothing here is a judgement about the food — it is how confident we are that we read this label correctly.

Nothing from our pet hazard list

None of the ingredients on our pet hazard list (onion, garlic and others) is on this label. That is a check of the list, not of the food, and not an allergy check: it cannot see contamination, a manufacturing fault or a food that disagrees with your animal. Still read it yourself — this is a reading aid, not a substitute for the label or your vet.

Guaranteed analysis

Up to 82% of this pack is water. The other 18% or more is the dry matter (the food) — and that is what the right column divides up: protein, fat, fibre, ash and carbohydrate, as shares of it. The left column counts the water in, which is why nothing in it can be compared with another pack.

These are guarantees, not measurements — minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fibre, moisture and ash. So ≈ marks a figure worked out from them rather than printed: close rather than exact. Read off the pack.
