01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.	01 Elevate Kettle Cooked Chunky Healthy Grains Chicken & Salmon Stew w/ C 32.5%	02 Elevate Kettle Cooked Chunky Healthy Grains Chicken Stew w/ Carrots, P 32.5%	03 Dogs in the Kitchen Classic Dog Funky Chunky Chicken Soup with Pumpkin Grain-Free 64.0% Best in this row	04 Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Intelligent Design for Dogs Joint Support Grain-Free Frozen 56.5%
02 Carbohydrate Load, Dry Matter Level Lower Is Better Estimated, 6% ash assumed. iEstimated, 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 Elevate Kettle Cooked Chunky Healthy Grains Chicken & Salmon Stew w/ C 43% 4.5% as fed	02 Elevate Kettle Cooked Chunky Healthy Grains Chicken Stew w/ Carrots, P 43% 4.5% as fed	03 Dogs in the Kitchen Classic Dog Funky Chunky Chicken Soup with Pumpkin Grain-Free 6% 0.0% as fed	04 Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Intelligent Design for Dogs Joint Support Grain-Free Frozen 13% 0.0% as fed
03 Named Proteins In The First Five Count of named animal proteins. iThe 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 Elevate Kettle Cooked Chunky Healthy Grains Chicken & Salmon Stew w/ C 4 of 5	02 Elevate Kettle Cooked Chunky Healthy Grains Chicken Stew w/ Carrots, P 3 of 5	03 Dogs in the Kitchen Classic Dog Funky Chunky Chicken Soup with Pumpkin Grain-Free 2 of 5	04 Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Intelligent Design for Dogs Joint Support Grain-Free Frozen 3 of 5

Starch, As Fed iEstimated, 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%.

+ 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.
