vs

Oxbow has a better protein to fat ratio. However, Kaytee's ratio is not bad. (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Oxbow has much fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Oxbow has a slightly lower concentration of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Both foods are pea-free. Kaytee contains sugars, which have been linked to insulinoma.
