In order to get the accurate amount of protein in something, you have to convert it to a dry matter basis...Find out how much moisture is in those Nature's Variety things...Example: If you have a canned food or raw food that says 13% and the moisture is 75%, then in order to get the correct amount of protien. You take 13 (the amount of protein listed) divided by 25 (the reciprocal of the amount of moisture) = 52% protein on a dry matter basis... Hope this helps...
Same with the fiber...
Remember, this was just an example, I have no idea what the amount of moisture is in Nature's Variety medallions...But now, you can figure it out on your own
