Leaping Waters, Fit & Fab Variety Pack Wet Dog Food, 13.2-oz can, case of 6

Wet and fresh foods contain more water than kibble (typically 65-78%). On a dry-matter basis, this food's protein content is roughly 34%, comparable to premium kibble (typically 30-45% DMB protein).

1. 1

   chicken

   Real meat. Primary protein source, with the amino acid profile dogs actually evolved to eat.

   protein animal
2. 2

   chicken broth

   Real broth, adds flavor and moisture. Negligible nutrition on its own but tells you the recipe leans on real meat.

3. 3

   water sufficient for processing

   The regulatory phrase for cooking water in wet food. Has no nutritional implication, just labeling formality.

4. 4

   chicken liver

   Organ meat. Dense in protein, iron, vitamin A, and the B vitamins. Among the most nutrient-rich ingredients a dog can eat.

5. 5

   dried egg whites

   Pure egg-white protein, no yolk. Very high amino acid quality.

6. 6

   chickpeas

   Also called garbanzo beans. Affordable plant protein source, part of the legume stack the FDA examined in its heart-disease investigation. See why →

   legume
7. 7

   pumpkin

   Soluble fiber that supports stool quality. Mild and well-tolerated.

   vegetable
8. 8

   potato starch

   Refined potato. Pure carb energy, low on other nutrition. Often used as a binder in grain-free recipes.

9. 9

   peas

   Cheap protein bulk. Fine in small amounts, but when peas stack with lentils and chickpeas in the top ingredients, it's the pattern the FDA flagged in its heart-disease investigation. See why →

   legume
10. 10

    carrots

    Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, and a small amount of antioxidant value.

    vegetable
11. 11

    guar gum

    Thickener common in wet food. Emerging research on emulsifiers and the gut microbiome, but no smoking gun in dogs yet.

    fiber
12. 12

    sodium phosphate

    Mineral source and preservative. Standard inclusion at small doses.

13. 13

    salt

    Sodium chloride. Required at small doses for normal physiology. Not a quality concern in standard amounts.

    mineral
14. 14

    spinach

    Leafy green. Some iron, vitamin K, and fiber. The dose in kibble is small but it's real food.

    vegetable
15. 15

    natural flavor

    Legal term for animal-derived flavoring, usually hydrolyzed liver or broth. Adds taste, says nothing about quality.

    other
16. 16

    potassium chloride

    Required mineral. Sometimes used as a salt substitute. Standard inclusion in complete diets.

    mineral
17. 17

    cranberries

    Often added with a urinary-tract-support marketing angle. Real cranberry compounds help in concentrate form, but kibble doses are small.

    fruit
18. 18

    fish oil

    Concentrated omega-3s. The reason 'EPA' and 'DHA' get to show up on the bag.

    fat
19. 19

    choline chloride

    Essential nutrient for liver and brain function. Standard inclusion in complete dog foods.

    supplement
20. 20

    zinc proteinate

    Zinc bound to protein for better absorption. The premium form of the mineral, versus zinc oxide which sits cheaper on the label.

    mineral
21. 21

    iron proteinate

    Iron bound to protein for better absorption. The premium form versus inorganic iron sulfate.

    mineral
22. 22

    apples

    Real fruit, some fiber and antioxidants. The amount in kibble is too small to matter much.

    fruit
23. 23

    blueberries

    Antioxidants, real. But the amount in any kibble is too small to do much. Mostly marketing.

    fruit
24. 24

    xanthan gum

    Thickener common in wet food and gravies. Same emulsifier-microbiome conversation as guar gum, not a clear flag.

    fiber
25. 25

    vitamin e supplement

    Required nutrient and a natural antioxidant. Often pulls double duty as a preservative.
