01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.	01 Fit and Fabulous Weight Control with Alaskan Pollock 28.9%	02 Holistique Blendz Complete Health with Oatmeal, Pearled Barley & Ocean Fish Meal 20.0%	03 Pristine Grain-Free Grass-Fed Beef & Sweet Potato 36.0% Best in this row	04 Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Wholesome Grains Chicken Pumpkin & Quinoa Puppy 33.0%
02 Carbohydrate Load, Dry Matter Lower Is Better Estimated, 6% ash assumed. iEstimated, 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 Fit and Fabulous Weight Control with Alaskan Pollock 46% 41.5% as fed	02 Holistique Blendz Complete Health with Oatmeal, Pearled Barley & Ocean Fish Meal 62% 56.0% as fed	03 Pristine Grain-Free Grass-Fed Beef & Sweet Potato 35% 31.5% as fed Best in this row	04 Stella & Chewy’s Raw Coated Wholesome Grains Chicken Pumpkin & Quinoa Puppy 38% 33.0% as fed
03 Named Proteins In The First Five Count of named animal proteins. iThe count matches any named animal word in the opening five ingredients, so it also counts animal fats and flavourings as proteins.

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.
