make several different formulas on the same mfg. process line with
different ingredients, formulas, proportions, etc……  That is why
this website exists to help understand the label and what you are really
getting.  Every brand and formula does not need a separate dedicated
plant or processing line to produce a different food.   READ the LABEL
closely, there is a difference.  Then understand the % protein, % fat
and % carbohydrates.   Chicken by-product meal is very different than
Chicken meal or Pork Meal.   If your dog food store is telling you that
the two foods are the same just different bags, they are full of it and
misinformed. 

Prism Adult 26/18: Chicken by-product meal, ground yellow corn, ground brown
rice, chicken fat (preserved with natural mixed tocopherols), pork meal, Dried
Beet Pulp

Eagle Pack Original Adult: Pork Meal, Ground Yellow Corn, Ground Brown Rice, Ground
White Rice, Chicken Meal, Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Dried
Beet Pulp,

More examples:  An Ice cream maker can make all sorts different formulas
and brands on the same ice cream line they do not need a new plant or
processing line.  Your local small town bakery makes rye, white, wheat
and whole grain bread all in the same pans, in the same oven and with a
few similar ingredients but they are very different breads, they might
use similar bags to wrap them in or very different bags, they might be
sold sliced or unsliced in large and small loaves.

One being marked at consumers in Petsmart and one for consumers who buy animal feeds in feed stores?  Look at the ingredients.  Hmmmmmm Bob-Yes I am aware of the 2 star (Prism) and 4 star (Eagle Pack).  If you read both reviews they are fairly similar.  Are the raters aware both products are made by Eagle Pack?  Does Eagle Pack really have a separate processing plant to make a very similar product or are they the same thing in different packages?

This dog is in excellent health and is still hunting this season. I would recommend and continue to feed Eagle Pack.
