The Comparison

Four Foods, One Method

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

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.

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

01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Beyond Pacific Tuna 87.5% Best in this row 02 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper -- Not enough data on file. 03 Dogs in the Kitchen Classic Dog Funky Chunky Chicken Soup with Pumpkin Grain-Free 64.0% 04 Darwin’s Natural Pet Products Intelligent Design for Dogs Comprehensive Cancer Support Grain-Free Frozen 53.6%
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 Pacific Tuna 0% 0.0% as fed 02 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper -- Needs protein, fat, fiber and moisture. 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 Comprehensive Cancer Support Grain-Free Frozen 7% 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 Beyond Pacific Tuna 2 of 5 02 Beyond Mixers+ Immune Support Chicken Bone Broth Dog Food Topper 1 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 Comprehensive Cancer Support Grain-Free Frozen 4 of 5

Add A Food

The comparison holds four foods. Use Swap on a column to put a different one in its place.

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.
