Hi Tabitha

Dr Mike should probably clear up the fact that an estimate of 8% ash would only be accurate for Dry dog food. Wet dog food does not usually contain meat meals which are high in ash and if you call the companies like Wellness, Natura, etc you will see that Dry products are usually in the 6% to 12% ash range while canned foods are usually in the 1% to 3% ash range.

So if you plugged in 2% for wet foods and 8% for dry foods it would improve the accuracy of your calculator.

Thanks again for providing such an easy to use tool to help out consumers!!!
