ZuPreem 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.) ZuPreem has slightly fewer ingredients, which is usually a good thing. Both foods are mostly free of fruits, veggies, grains, and starches. ZuPreem is 100% pea-free; Merrick has peas as its 5th ingredient.
