The Comparison

One Food, One Method

One food so far. Add another and the same five measures run against both.

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

One Food, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.
01 Royal Canin Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce 39.6%
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 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce 11% 0.0% as fed
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 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce 3 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce None
05 Brand Recall History Lower Is Better Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce None
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 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce 0.0%
Kcal / Cup 01 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce --
Price / Lb Lowest Across Bag Sizes 01 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce $2.71 6 x 1.13 lb bag, PetSmart
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 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce $7.25
First Five Ingredients 01 Breed Health Nutrition French Bulldog Loaf In Sauce Water sufficient for processing, pork by-products, chicken, chicken by-products, powdered cellulose

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.
