Puka Puka Luau Succulent Chicken vs Wilderness Chicken Recipe (Adult Dry)

A classic dry-versus-wet decision. The wet food looks protein-poor on the label and considerably richer once water is removed.

Sample data. The figures on this page have not yet been verified against the manufacturer's current label, so this page is excluded from search results. Check both records against their source and mark them verified to publish it.

What the numbers actually show

80% 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: Puka Puka Luau Succulent Chicken reads 16% protein on the package versus Wilderness Chicken Recipe (Adult Dry) at 40%, but once water is removed the positions reverse (80% against 44%).

Reading the two packages side by side without this conversion would have given the wrong answer on at least one nutrient.
