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 Complete Health Toy Breed 33.3%	02 Complete Health Senior 24.4%	03 Baked & Coated Wild-Ocean Fish 44.4% Best in this row	04 Raw Beef Meal Bites Grain-Free 43.5%
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 Complete Health Toy Breed 37% 33.5% as fed	02 Complete Health Senior 53% 47.8% as fed	03 Baked & Coated Wild-Ocean Fish 24% 21.5% as fed	04 Raw Beef Meal Bites Grain-Free 9% 8.0% 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 Complete Health Toy Breed 3 of 5	02 Complete Health Senior 2 of 5	03 Baked & Coated Wild-Ocean Fish 4 of 5	04 Raw Beef Meal Bites Grain-Free 5 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%. 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 Complete Health Toy Breed 33.5%	02 Complete Health Senior 47.8%	03 Baked & Coated Wild-Ocean Fish 21.5%	04 Raw Beef Meal Bites Grain-Free 8.0%

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.
