I wanted to start a thread where we can post up-to-date percentages of canned cat food. Although the catinfo.com (http://www.catinfo.org/docs/SortableCatFoodChartCatinfo.org2-22-13.htm) chart is a great tool, it is from 2012 and is thus does not accurately represent the food on the market today. It's really hard to figure this stuff out with the information available in the guaranteed analysis even when using online calculators (mostly because the fat content is only typically listed as a minimum guarantee). So calling or emailing the manufacturer, and getting specific values is very helpful.

I called Nature's Variety on 7/30/15 got the following information:
