The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

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

Every food here is made by Carna4, 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 Carna4 Easy-Chew Lamb Swap Remove 02 Carna4 Easy-Chew Fish Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Level Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Easy-Chew Lamb 32.2% 02 Easy-Chew Fish 32.2%
02 Carbohydrate Load, Dry Matter Level 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 Easy-Chew Lamb 40% 36.0% as fed 02 Easy-Chew Fish 40% 36.0% 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 Easy-Chew Lamb 4 of 5 02 Easy-Chew Fish 3 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Easy-Chew Lamb None 02 Easy-Chew Fish None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Easy-Chew Lamb None 02 Easy-Chew Fish 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 Easy-Chew Lamb 36.0% 02 Easy-Chew Fish 36.0%
Kcal / Cup 01 Easy-Chew Lamb 400 02 Easy-Chew Fish 402
Price / Lb Lowest Across Bag Sizes 01 Easy-Chew Lamb $9.75 20 lb bag, Amazon 02 Easy-Chew Fish $12.20 5 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 Easy-Chew Lamb $5.13 Best in this row 02 Easy-Chew Fish $6.18
First Five Ingredients 01 Easy-Chew Lamb lamb, lamb liver, eggs, ground organic sprouted barley seed, herring 02 Easy-Chew Fish Fresh herring, perch, eggs, ground organic sprouted barley seed, salmon

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.
