The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

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

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

Two Foods, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.
01 Annamaet Chicken Raw Swap Remove 02 Annamaet Surf & Turf Raw Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Chicken Raw 38.7% 02 Surf & Turf Raw 43.0% 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 Chicken Raw 26% 24.0% as fed 02 Surf & Turf Raw 16% 15.0% 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 Chicken Raw 5 of 5 02 Surf & Turf Raw 5 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Chicken Raw None 02 Surf & Turf Raw None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Chicken Raw None 02 Surf & Turf Raw 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 Raw 24.0% 02 Surf & Turf Raw 15.0%
Kcal / Cup 01 Chicken Raw 332 02 Surf & Turf Raw 350
First Five Ingredients 01 Chicken Raw Chicken, Chicken with Ground Bones, Chicken Breast, Chicken Heart, Chicken Liver 02 Surf & Turf Raw Beef, Beef Heart, Whitefish, Beef Liver, Ground Beef Bones

+ Add A Food

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.
