On a dry matter basis the guarantees work out to roughly 36 percent protein and 27 percent fat.

Sold for senior dogs, and the AAFCO statement is for maintenance, which is the correct and expected wording since AAFCO has no senior life stage. Compared with the adult version of the same recipe the guarantees are lower on both counts, 8.0 against 10.0 percent protein and 6.0 against 9.0 percent fat, and pea fiber is added in sixth place. Turkey leads with chicken broth second and chicken third.
