Wellness Stews canned dog food looks like an above average wet product. But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product’s meat content before determining a final rating. The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 44%, a fat level of 22% and estimated carbohydrates of about 25%. As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 44% and a mean fat level of 22%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 25% for the overall product line. And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 50%.
Above-average protein. Near-average fat. And below-average carbs when compared to a typical wet dog food.

Please note some products may have been given higher or lower ratings based upon our estimate of their total meat content.
