vs

Orijen has a better protein to fat ratio. Dr. Elsey's's ratio of 2.7 to 1 is too high (not fatty enough). (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Dr. Elsey's has much fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Both foods are mostly free of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Dr. Elsey's is 100% pea-free; Orijen has peas as its 15th ingredient.
