The Comparison
One Food, One Method
One food so far. Add another and the same five measures run against both.
Open Your Saved Comparison| 01 Acana Singles Limited Ingredient Diet Pork & Squash Swap Remove | + Add A Food | + Add A Food | + Add A Food | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. | 01 Singles Limited Ingredient Diet Pork & Squash 35.2% | |||
| 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 Singles Limited Ingredient Diet Pork & Squash 33% 29.0% 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 Singles Limited Ingredient Diet Pork & Squash 3 of 5 | |||
| 04 Flagged Additives Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. | 01 Singles Limited Ingredient Diet Pork & Squash None | |||
| 05 Brand Recall History Lower Is Better Manufacturer, not recipe. | 01 Singles Limited Ingredient Diet Pork & Squash None | |||
| 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%.

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.
