vs

Wild Harvest has a better protein to fat ratio. Essence's ratio of 2.29 to 1 is too high (not fatty enough). (The ideal ratio is 2 to 1.) Essence has slightly fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Essence has a slightly lower concentration of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. Both foods are pea-free. Wild Harvest contains sugars, which have been linked to insulinoma.
