The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

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

Every food here is made by Stella & Chewy's, so the recall row cannot separate them.

Two Foods, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.
01 Stella & Chewy's Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Wholesome Grains Chicken Pumpkin & Quinoa Puppy Swap Remove 02 Stella & Chewy's Stella & Chewy’s Beef Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Wholesome Grains Chicken Pumpkin & Quinoa Puppy 33.0% Best in this row 02 Stella & Chewy’s Beef 30.7%
02 Carbohydrate Load, Dry Matter Level 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 Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Wholesome Grains Chicken Pumpkin & Quinoa Puppy 38% 33.0% as fed 02 Stella & Chewy’s Beef 38% 33.0% 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 Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Wholesome Grains Chicken Pumpkin & Quinoa Puppy -- No ingredient list on file. 02 Stella & Chewy’s Beef 3 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Wholesome Grains Chicken Pumpkin & Quinoa Puppy -- No ingredient list on file. 02 Stella & Chewy’s Beef None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Wholesome Grains Chicken Pumpkin & Quinoa Puppy None 02 Stella & Chewy’s Beef 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.
