The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

The same five measures, applied to each food from its own figures.

Every food here is made by Eukanuba, so the recall row cannot separate them.

Prices are the lowest per pound we found across bag sizes, from our latest checks. Stores change prices often.

Two Foods, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.
01 Eukanuba Adult LP Large Breed Swap Remove 02 Eukanuba Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Adult LP Large Breed 25.0% 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 28.9% Best in this row
02 Carbohydrate Load, Dry Matter Lower Is Better Estimated, 6% ash assumed. Estimated, not measured. It is what is left of the guaranteed analysis once protein, fat, fiber and moisture are taken out, with ash assumed at 6%. That leftover is mostly starch but also carries sugars and the fiber a crude-fiber test misses, so read it as a close estimate rather than an exact figure. Measured as fed, the same basis as the bag. 01 Adult LP Large Breed 51% 45.8% as fed 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 50% 45.0% as fed Best in this row
03 Named Proteins In The First Five Count of named animal proteins. The count matches any named animal word in the opening five ingredients, so it also counts animal fats and flavourings as proteins. It is shown because it is one of the five measured lines, but it is too rough to call a winner on. 01 Adult LP Large Breed 1 of 5 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 2 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Adult LP Large Breed None 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Adult LP Large Breed 1 None in the last 3 years 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 1 None in the last 3 years
Starch, As Fed Estimated, not measured. It is what is left of the guaranteed analysis once protein, fat, fiber and moisture are taken out, with ash assumed at 6%. That leftover is mostly starch but also carries sugars and the fiber a crude-fiber test misses, so read it as a close estimate rather than an exact figure. Measured as fed, the same basis as the bag. 01 Adult LP Large Breed 45.8% 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 45.0%
Kcal / Cup 01 Adult LP Large Breed 340 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 267
Price / Lb Lowest Across Bag Sizes 01 Adult LP Large Breed $1.82 33 lb bag, Amazon 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control $1.82 33 lb bag, Amazon
Cost / 1,000 Kcal Lower Is Cheaper To Feed What the same amount of energy costs, so a denser food is not penalized for a higher price per pound. 01 Adult LP Large Breed -- No calorie figure on file. 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control $1.15
First Five Ingredients 01 Adult LP Large Breed Lamb meal, brewers rice, soybean meal, corn, wheat 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control Chicken, Wheat, Chicken By-Product Meal, Corn, Barley

Add A Food

Every figure here is the food's own. Protein and carbohydrate are converted to dry matter so foods of different moisture can be set beside each other; starch is estimated from the guaranteed analysis with ash assumed at 6.0%, and the recall record belongs to the manufacturer rather than to the recipe. Two rows are printed but never marked: the named-protein count, because the detection behind it is too rough to call a winner on, and calories, because neither more nor fewer is better without knowing the dog.
