Evanger's has a better protein to fat ratio. Merrick's ratio of 2.8 to 1 is too high (not fatty enough). (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Evanger's has much fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Evanger's has a slightly lower concentration of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Evanger's is 100% pea-free; Merrick has peas as its 5th ingredient.
