Guaranteed Analysis

The guaranteed analysis is listed on the original packaging of Salmon Flavor All Stages.

All guaranteed analysis labels should include the minimum crude protein, minimum crude Fat, maximum crude fiber, and maximum moisture content.

Checking the guaranteed analysis is the incorrect way of comparing it against the cat food nutrient requirements by AAFCO. It needs to be converted to a dry matter basis.
