Guaranteed analysis, both ways
The left column is what the package prints. The right column is the same food with the water removed, which is the only version comparable against a food with different moisture.
| Nutrient | As fed | Dry matter |
|---|---|---|
| Crude protein | 40% | 44% |
| Crude fat | 18% | 19.8% |
| Crude fiber | 4% | 4.4% |
| Moisture | 9% | -- |
Multiplier applied: 1.1x, based on 9% moisture.
Estimated carbohydrate: 22% on a dry-matter basis (estimated, assuming 7% ash).
Carbohydrate is not printed on United States cat food labels. Blue Buffalo does not publish ash, so this figure is derived rather than stated - treat it as an indication, not a specification.

Compared against
- Wilderness Chicken Recipe (Adult Dry) vs Cat and Kitten Dry
Two popular high-inclusion kibbles with very different carbohydrate approaches.
- Wilderness Chicken Recipe (Adult Dry) vs Indoor Hairball and Weight Control Dry
Both are dry foods, so their labels are already broadly comparable - differences here are about formulation, not water content. Declared moisture differs by only 0.0 percentage points, so the conversion changes little.
- Wilderness Chicken Recipe (Adult Dry) vs Puka Puka Luau Succulent Chicken
A classic dry-versus-wet decision. The wet food looks protein-poor on the label and considerably richer once water is removed.
- Wilderness Chicken Recipe (Adult Dry) vs Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe Flaked Trout Feast
One is a dry food and the other wet. Their labels are not directly comparable, which is the whole reason to convert them first. There is a 73.0 percentage point gap in declared moisture between them.
