Compare foods with the same questions, not a made-up score

A fair comparison starts by confirming both products are intended for the same species and relevant life stage. Then record the adequacy statement, calories, serving unit, moisture, guaranteed analysis, ingredient questions, feeding directions, and manufacturer information.

Comparison rules

  • Do not declare a winner from the first ingredient.
  • Do not compare wet and dry percentages without accounting for moisture.
  • Separate label facts from marketing language and personal opinion.
  • Leave a field blank rather than guessing.
  • Involve a veterinarian when an individual health factor matters.
