Below is the guaranteed analysis and ingredients for Merrick Purrfect Bistro Duck Pate. I calculate 17.7% carbs. But which ingredients are the carbs? I see cranberries and alfalfa. Is this were the majority of the carbs comes from? It doesn't seem like one could add a lot of cranberries and alfalfa without creating bad tasting cat food.
