The richest recipe of the nine by some distance: 32.0 percent protein, 22.0 percent fat and 3,995 kcal per kilogram, which is 453 kcal in a standard cup. Worth reading the AAFCO wording carefully, because the comparison index files this as a puppy food while the maker's statement is All Life Stages except for growth of large size dogs, 70 lb or more as an adult. That exclusion is the whole point of the formula and it is the line to check if your puppy is going to grow large. The guarantee also carries a live microorganism minimum of 80,000,000 CFU per pound from five named cultures, and the ingredient list includes the superfood group Diamond Naturals uses across the dry range: kale, chia seed, pumpkin, blueberries, oranges, quinoa, dried kelp, coconut, spinach, carrots and papaya. Diamond publishes no per recipe ingredient sourcing breakdown and no made in statement on this product page, which is what holds the disclosure score below ten.
