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.

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: Wilderness Chicken Recipe (Adult Dry) reads 40% protein on the package versus Wilderness Rocky Mountain Recipe Flaked Trout Feast at 9%, but once water is removed the positions reverse (44% 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.
