Pate Chicken and Liver Dinner vs Gravy Sensations With Ocean Whitefish & Tuna in Gravy
Both are wet foods, so their labels are already broadly comparable - differences here are about formulation, not water content. Declared moisture differs by only 2.0 percentage points, so the conversion changes little.
Nutrition, both ways
Left pair of columns is what each package prints. Right pair removes the water from both. The last column is the difference that survives the conversion.
| Nutrient | A: as fed | B: as fed | A: dry matter | B: dry matter | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crude protein ranking reverses | 11% | 10% | 50% | 50% | 0 pp |

Multipliers: Pate Chicken and Liver Dinner x4.5, Gravy Sensations With Ocean Whitefish & Tuna in Gravy x5.0.
What the numbers actually show
Declared moisture is close between these two (78% against 80%), so converting to dry matter shifts both by a similar amount.
This is a case where the raw labels point one way and the dry-matter figures point the other: Pate Chicken and Liver Dinner reads 11% protein on the package versus Gravy Sensations With Ocean Whitefish & Tuna in Gravy at 10%, but once water is removed the positions reverse (50% against 50%).
Reading the two packages side by side without this conversion would have given the wrong answer on at least one nutrient.
