Wet (canned and raw) food is so full of moisture that the only way to compare it to kibble and get a real protein, fat, and fiber % is to convert it to a dry matter basis. So with the water removed, the % will be different. This (dry matter basis) will have to be figured for any food given to Yoda (if pancreatitis has been confirmed). To do this, you just divide the protein by the recipricol of the moisture.
So the chicken formula is 10% fat. To convert it, divide 10 by the recipricol of the moisture which is 29 (moisture is 71%..100-71) 10 divided by 29 is 34%. So this food is 34% fat. Does that make sense?
