I see huge issue with the way they're comparing wet and dry diets. For
example, the raw bravo premium chicken was not converted to dry matter,
so it appears to have a very low (12%) protein level when compared to
the dry diets. However, if converted to dry matter, you'd find it
contains 54.5% protein (extremely high in comparison and with the
optimal range). That aspect is very misleading. All of the foods (even
the dry foods because they do contain some amount of moisture) need to
be converted to a dry matter basis, or there is no way they can be
compared. It's like comparing apples to oranges.

You can read about how to convert to a dry matter basis here.

It has potential, but until that issue is fixed, it's pretty useless. I
like the fact that they've included some commercial raw products, and
hope they continue to add more and accurately portray their nutritional
content.
