Merrick Backcountry Raw Infused Kitten vs. Evolution Gourmet Fondue Vegan

Evolution 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.) Merrick has fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Merrick has a slightly lower concentration of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Both foods have peas, but Merrick has a lower concentration (5th vs 4th ingredient). Evolution contains sugars, which have been linked to insulinoma.
