| Summary |
Summary Nature's Variety has a better protein to fat ratio. Kirkland's ratio of 1.5 to 1 is too low (too fatty). (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Kirkland has fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Kirkland has a slightly higher concentration of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Both foods are pea-free. |
