Company Researches 3,009 Dog Food Formulas And Finds ONLY 593 To Be Satisfactory

Food Containing “Gravy” or Extra Water

Gravy is another ingredient that sounds pretty delicious, but that the Reviews.com team chose to cut out of their final recommendations.

Water isn’t at all harmful for your dog, but it can dilute the nutritional content of his food to the point that it is no longer considered a complete meal. In fact, the FDA has a limit to the amount of moisture a wet food can contain – 78%, which seems pretty generous. Still, companies can get around the limit via a loophole that allows recipes containing words like “stew” and “gravy” to exceed it. Any food that had more than 78% moisture content was cut, and unlike the FDA, Reviews.com did not give a pass to foods containing the words “gravy,” “stew,” or “sauce.”
