I was comparing EVO ferret and EVO cat and comparing the analysis the cat variety has 1 % less carbs. The cat variety also has .5 % more fiber which doesn't seem like a big deal to me, it has 1 % more fat. The cat kind also has ascorbic acid (vitamin c) listed in the ingredients but the ferret kind doesn't but it says it has 500 mg vitamin c like the cat kind . Also the order or the ingredients are a bit different. Like the cat kind has more meat because meat are in the first 5 ingredients and for the ferret kind the first 4 ingredients are meat.
So which is the better choice?
