What a can of cat food won’t tell you
Three numbers that matter most for a cat’s health, and are hardest to find on the label.
8.4%
How many carbs are in it?
Carbohydrate isn’t on pet food labels, yet it’s the number that matters most for diabetic cats. We estimate it for every can. The typical can gets 8.4% of its calories from carbs.

How it works
No star ratings. The same math for every can.
- Read the label. Guaranteed analysis, calories and ingredients, from the maker or a retailer that prints the full label.
- Estimate the carbs. 100 minus protein, fat, fiber, moisture and ash.
- Compare by calories. Every share is per calorie, so pâté and gravy compare fairly.
