Two Foods, One Method

• 01 Earthborn Holistic Adult Vantage Swap Remove
• 02 TruDog Garden of Vegan Plant-Based Swap Remove

Two Foods, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.

	01 Earthborn Holistic Adult Vantage Swap Remove	02 TruDog Garden of Vegan Plant-Based Swap Remove	+ Add A Food	+ Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.	01 Adult Vantage 25.6%	02 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based 26.1% Best in this row
02 Carbohydrate Load, Dry Matter 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 Adult Vantage 50% 45.0% as fed	02 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based 40% 4.8% as fed Best in this row
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 Adult Vantage 1 of 5	02 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based 0 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list.	01 Adult Vantage None	02 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based None
05 Brand Recall History Level Lower Is Better Manufacturer, not recipe.	01 Adult Vantage None	02 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based None
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%. 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.

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.
