The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

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

Every food here is made by Go! Solutions, 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 Go! Solutions Skin + Coat Care Lamb Swap Remove 02 Go! Solutions Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Puppy Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Skin + Coat Care Lamb 24.4% 02 Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Puppy 40.0% Best in this row
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 Skin + Coat Care Lamb 50% 45.0% as fed 02 Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Puppy 30% 27.0% as fed Best in this row
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 Skin + Coat Care Lamb 2 of 5 02 Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Puppy 5 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Skin + Coat Care Lamb None 02 Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Puppy None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Skin + Coat Care Lamb None 02 Carnivore Grain-Free Chicken, Turkey + Duck Puppy 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%. 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.

Replacing column 01.

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.
