Nutrition Label

Pet food show guaranteed analysis on their labels. It includes moisture and does not reflect the level of carbs — which we prefer lower for dogs and as low as possible for cats.

Estimated Meat Content

Some pet food uses high plant protein ingredients to boost up the overall protein level — to make it looks like it includes a lot of meat, which is more appealing for customers.

Therefore, protein level itself cannot tell the quality and how much animal ingredients (more digestible than plants) is in the pet food.

Check if protein is overrated by plant protein boost up

By looking at the plant protein in top ingredients and compare with the total protein level, we will try to estimate how much animal ingredients is used in the pet food as Meat Content.
