On a dry matter basis the guarantees work out to roughly 28 percent protein and 17 percent fat.

Two notes taken straight off the maker's page rather than smoothed over. First, the naming is inconsistent: the product is sold as Grain Free Buffalo, Whitefish & Sweet Potato Recipe while the nutritional guarantee on the same page calls it Grain Free Buffalo & Whitefish Recipe, with no sweet potato in the name, so search for both. Second, three organism names are misspelled in the published ingredient list, Lactobacilus acidophilus with one l and Baciollus coagulans twice over, and they are transcribed here exactly as the maker prints them. The recipe leads with buffalo ahead of two whitefish entries and a pork meal, so a dog avoiding pork is not served by it despite the name. Health Extension publishes no made-in statement and no sourcing statement for this recipe, which is what holds the disclosure tally at 6 rather than 8.
