The Comparison

Three Foods, One Method

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

Prices are the lowest per pound we found across bag sizes, from our latest checks. Stores change prices often.

Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper is missing protein, dry matter and carbohydrate load, so it is judged on fewer measures than the others here.

Three Foods, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.
01 Purina Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper Swap Remove 02 Purina Beyond Pacific Tuna Swap Remove 03 K9 Natural Lamb Feast Grain-Free Swap Remove + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper -- Not enough data on file. 02 Beyond Pacific Tuna 87.5% Best in this row 03 Lamb Feast Grain-Free 44.6%
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 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper -- Needs protein, fat, fiber and moisture. 02 Beyond Pacific Tuna 0% 0.0% as fed 03 Lamb Feast Grain-Free 9% 8.5% 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 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper 1 of 5 02 Beyond Pacific Tuna 2 of 5 03 Lamb Feast Grain-Free 5 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper None 02 Beyond Pacific Tuna None 03 Lamb Feast Grain-Free None
05 Brand Recall History Lower Is Better Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper 6 None in the last 3 years 02 Beyond Pacific Tuna 6 None in the last 3 years 03 Lamb Feast Grain-Free None Best in this row
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 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper 0.0% 02 Beyond Pacific Tuna 0.0% 03 Lamb Feast Grain-Free 8.5%

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 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper -- No price on file. 02 Beyond Pacific Tuna -- No price on file. 03 Lamb Feast Grain-Free -- No calorie figure on file.

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.
