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