Feed Wise considers this a workable everyday option for FirstMate SKOKI Can: Coastal 12.2oz – 12 Cans, a canned wet food formula led by salmon, whitefish and boneless chicken. The manufacturer publishes an AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement, so it can be fed as a complete daily diet for the life stage named on the label. Supporting the rating, it is manufactured in Canada and the label declares 11% crude protein.

This is the largest single category in FeedWise. It looks at which animal ingredients are present, whether the species is named, whether organs, egg and named fats are included, and whether concentrated plant proteins are diluting the animal content.
Named animal protein first
The first ingredient is Water sufficient for processing, which is not an animal protein.
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 76 of 100. This is a FeedWise position-weighted measure of how far animal ingredients dominate the ingredient panel. It is a label-position index, not a manufacturer-disclosed recipe percentage.
Liver
No liver in the ingredient panel.
Heart
No heart in the ingredient panel.
Other appropriate organs
No additional organ meats identified.
Whole egg
No meaningful egg inclusion.
Named animal or marine fats
Named animal or marine fat sources: Salmon, Whitefish.
Verified animal ingredient proportion
The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.
Every ingredient is classified into a quality tier and weighted by its position on the label, so ingredient number one counts far more than ingredient number fifteen.
Position weighted ingredient quality
7 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 3 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
Estimated carbohydrate, calculated as 100 minus protein, fat, moisture, fibre and ash.
Carbohydrate burden
Calculated with a published ash value carbohydrate of 6.8 percent.
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as LOW. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Rice (whole grain), Potato (starchy vegetable).
Processing method: Canned. This category measures food integrity only. Raw handling safety is assessed separately under Safety and Quality Control, so a raw food can score well here and still lose safety points.
