The Comparison
Two Foods, One Method
The same five measures, applied to each food from its own figures.
Every food here is made by Eukanuba, so the recall row cannot separate them.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 Protein, Dry Matter Level Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. | 01 Puppy Large Breed 28.9% | 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 28.9% | ||
| 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 Puppy Large Breed 45% 40.3% as fed Best in this row | 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 50% 45.0% 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 Puppy Large Breed 3 of 5 | 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 2 of 5 | ||
| 04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. | 01 Puppy Large Breed None | 02 Fit Body Large Breed Weight Control 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.
