Are these ingredients up to par with what you would feed your cat? this is the wet

another question...the difference in the protein is quite a lot from the wet to the dry...is that a normal ratio difference?

Due to the wet foods high moisture you need to multiply by 3.5 to 4

so the protein in this one is likely 42-48% ( could be as high 52)

the fat is likely is 32-36%

ash is 6.6-8.4

the wet looks good , no grains only thing is grass and shrimp... shrimp is good though many are allergic ... grass I will leave to someone else

the dry is good .... I am steering away from fish in dry and dont like to see liver in a dry food///
