Guaranteed Analysis Convertor
It can be difficult to compare the protein, fat and carbohydrate levels between different foods by using the information on a package's label. This is especially difficult when comparing pet foods with large differences in moisture (can vs. dry) or fiber level.

Please note that the values that are calculated may be slightly different from the values used by the manufacturer since the actual digestibility of protein, fat and carbohydrate and at times ash must be estimated. In addition, minimum values can differ greatly from the typical or actual value; therefore, care should be used as protein and fat levels may actually be higher than the label indicates.

Enter guaranteed analysis values from pet food label:
