Oxbow has a better protein to fat ratio. Dr. Elsey's's ratio of 3.47 to 1 is too high (not fatty enough). (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Dr. Elsey's has slightly fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Both foods are mostly free of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Both foods are pea-free.
