Indoor Hairball and Weight Control 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.
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 | 32% | 9% | 35.2% | 50% | 14.8 pp |
| Crude fat ranking reverses | 14% | 3% | 15.4% | 16.7% | 1.3 pp |
| Crude fiber ranking reverses | 6% | 1.5% | 6.6% | 8.3% | 1.7 pp |
| Moisture | 9% | 82% | -- | -- | 73.0 pp |
Multipliers: Indoor Hairball and Weight Control Dry x1.1, Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe Flaked Trout Feast x5.6.
What the numbers actually show
82% moisture against 9% means the printed numbers are describing different things entirely - one includes several times more water than the other.
This is a case where the raw labels point one way and the dry-matter figures point the other: Indoor Hairball and Weight Control Dry reads 32% protein on the package versus Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe Flaked Trout Feast at 9%, but once water is removed the positions reverse (35.2% against 50%).
More than one nutrient reverses direction under conversion, which is a reliable sign that a side-by-side reading of the labels was never going to be informative.
Reading the two packages side by side without this conversion would have given the wrong answer on at least one nutrient.
