vs

Vitalin has a better protein to fat ratio. Nature's Variety's ratio of 2.76 to 1 is too high (not fatty enough). (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Nature's Variety has slightly fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Both foods are mostly free of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Both foods are pea-free. Vitalin contains sugars, which have been linked to insulinoma.
