Essence has a better protein to fat ratio. However, Nature's Variety's ratio is not bad. (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Essence has fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Essence has a slightly lower concentration of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Essence is 100% pea-free; Nature's Variety has peas as its 4th ingredient.
