vs

Kaytee has a better protein to fat ratio. Vital Essentials's ratio of 2.24 to 1 is too high (not fatty enough). (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Vital Essentials has much fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Vital Essentials 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.
