The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

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

Every food here is made by Jinx, 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 Jinx Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew Swap Remove 02 Jinx Chicken Homemades Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew 44.4% Best in this row 02 Chicken Homemades 40.9%
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 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew 8% 0.0% as fed 02 Chicken Homemades 14% 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 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew 5 of 5 02 Chicken Homemades 1 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew None 02 Chicken Homemades None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew None 02 Chicken Homemades 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 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew 0.0% 02 Chicken Homemades 0.0%
Kcal / Cup 01 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew -- 02 Chicken Homemades --
Price / Lb Lowest Across Bag Sizes 01 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew $3.10 12.8 oz bag, Walmart 02 Chicken Homemades $6.13 9.6 oz bag, Walmart
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 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew $7.42 Best in this row 02 Chicken Homemades $12.02
First Five Ingredients 01 Chicken & Vegetable Bone Broth Stew Chicken, Chicken Bone Broth, Beef Broth, Chicken Liver, Dried Egg Product 02 Chicken Homemades Chicken, carrot, brown rice, peas, kale

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.
