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.

| 01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. | 01 Skin + Coat Care Duck 24.4% | 02 Sensitivities Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Duck 26.7% 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 Duck 51% 46.0% as fed | 02 Sensitivities Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Duck 48% 43.5% 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 Duck 2 of 5 | 02 Sensitivities Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Duck 2 of 5 | ||
| 04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. | 01 Skin + Coat Care Duck None | 02 Sensitivities Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Duck None | ||

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.
