Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 8%, Crude Fat (min) 4%, Crude Fiber (max) 1.2%, Moisture (max) 78%. Energy 1069 kcal/kg calculated metabolizable energy, or 370 kcal per can. AAFCO: Fromm Pate Venison & Lentil Pate Food for Dogs is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages, except for growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult). Venison is the first ingredient.

This canned pate lists venison first, followed by venison broth, beef, beef liver and lentils, by pre cooking weight. Fromm's own product page describes it as finely minced venison cooked in venison broth with lentils, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Two things are worth reading closely. First, despite the venison name, beef and beef liver sit third and fourth on the list, so this is not a venison only recipe and it will not work as a beef elimination diet. Second, the AAFCO statement here says all life stages EXCEPT for growth of large size dogs, the same exception Fromm applies to the Salmon and Chicken pate. On a dry matter basis the guarantees are roughly 36 percent protein and 18 percent fat.
