Analytical Constituents in Wolfworthy Dog Food
Updated
Have you seen analytical constituents listed on your bag of Wolfworthy or other dog food and wondered what they mean? This guide explains the difference between ingredients and analytical constituents for both our Original and Oily Fish recipes.
What Are Ingredients?
Ingredients (or composition) are the components that make up the recipe. They are always listed in descending order by weight, with the largest ingredient first.
A high-quality dog food, like Wolfworthy, clearly lists specific ingredients (e.g., salmon, sweet potato) rather than vague terms like "meat and animal derivatives" or "cereals". If you spot such terms elsewhere, it’s worth investigating further.
What Are Analytical Constituents?
Analytical constituents provide a nutritional breakdown of the food, showing the percentage levels of key nutrients such as protein, fats, fibre, ash (mineral content), and moisture.
These values are legally required on pet food packaging and represent the natural composition of the ingredients - no additional crude ash or oils are added to Wolfworthy.

Why Analytical Constituents Matter
When comparing dog foods, protein content is crucial - but not all protein is equal. Some lower-quality foods may include indigestible proteins (like chicken feathers), which provide no nutritional value.
At Wolfworthy, we only use high-quality, digestible proteins and carbohydrates, ensuring that every bite offers real nutritional benefits with no hidden fillers.
We’re transparent about what goes into every bag of Wolfworthy - no nasties, just natural, nutritious ingredients your dog will love.
