taste of the wild

[Hosanna]

Can someone verify what the company says, that Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline Formula (canned) is only 1.5% carbs?
Both my cats tried this today and LOVE it, but before I feed it to Martha, I want to check this out. Company info is not always accurate, and it is gravy, which I never feed.

Thanks!

Where does it say 1.3% carbs?
If you receive that separately what was the earxact wording of the what you received.
The link you provided does not give the as-feed values necessary to calculate the % calories for carbs.

It's not one of the foods in the chart that vet Dr. Lisa Pierson made up with the as fed values for canned foods. http://www.catinfo.org/docs/FoodChartPublic9-22-12.pdf

This shortcut list has a lot of canned foods that are under 10% carb. http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=94685

My philosophy on the food is 'If in doubt, leave it out' of the food rotation. Better safe than sorry. I don't want my cat to fall out of remission because of a questionable food.

You can certainly call the manufacturer and ask for 'as fed values' for protein, fat, moisture, fiber, ash. From that, the carb percentages we use can be calculated.
