The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

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

Every food here is made by WholeHearted, 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 WholeHearted Gravy Puree Lamb Swap Remove 02 WholeHearted Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Gravy Puree Lamb 50.0% Best in this row 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper 36.8%
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 Gravy Puree Lamb 8% 0.0% as fed 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper 26% 25.0% 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 Gravy Puree Lamb 1 of 5 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper 3 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Gravy Puree Lamb None 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Gravy Puree Lamb 1 None in the last 3 years 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper 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 Gravy Puree Lamb 0.0% 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper 25.0%
Kcal / Cup 01 Gravy Puree Lamb -- 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper --
Price / Lb Lowest Across Bag Sizes 01 Gravy Puree Lamb -- No price on file. 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper $27.90 1.6 oz bag, Petco
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 Gravy Puree Lamb -- No price on file. 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper -- No calorie figure on file.
First Five Ingredients 01 Gravy Puree Lamb Water, Lamb, Sunflower Oil, Tapioca Starch, Salt 02 Freeze-Dried Immunity Support Dog Food Topper Lamb, pork, pork liver, tapioca, pumpkin seeds

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.
