Quick answer

Choose Surf & Turf Pâté for a grain-free, protein-rich option with fish and red meat. Choose Goodbowl Harvest Chicken Pâté for a complete meal with wholesome grains and a lower price.

Protein sources and dietary fit

Surf & Turf Pâté combines Ocean Wise whitefish, pasture-raised grass-fed beef, and beef liver. This makes it a high-protein, grain- and legume-free choice. Goodbowl Harvest Chicken Pâté uses humanely-raised chicken and grass-fed beef, plus non-GMO oats and carrots. It includes wholesome grains, so it's not grain-free.

Texture and moisture

Both pâtés are smooth and moisture-rich with broth. They can be served as a complete meal or mixed into kibble. The Surf & Turf is slightly more nutrient-dense due to the inclusion of liver and sweet potatoes, while Goodbowl includes oats for a softer texture.
