Hi Ellen,
 
I am not a canine nutritionist, Linda Arndt is and this is her article, but  
if you look at it, here is what she is trying to say:

So Chicken Soup's first 2 ingredients are Chicken and Turkey.  This is  their 
weight before cooking, so after cooking they get knocked down on the list  as 
an ingredient.   The rest of the label has:  whole grain  brown rice, whole 
grain white rice, chicken fat (preserved with mixed  tocopherols), oatmeal, 
potatoes, cracked pearled barley, millet, duck, salmon,  egg product, flaxseed, 
natural chicken flavor, kelp, carrots, peas, apples,  dried skim milk, 
cranberry powder, rosemary extract, parsley flake, potassium  etc, etc.  Linda 
studies 
nutrition, dog foods and is very versed on this  subject.  So is Paul.  I 
just read their articles and learn what I can  from them.
