The single most useful thing to know about this bag, and it is not on the maker's page: its label data is identical to the standard Grain Free Buffalo, Whitefish & Sweet Potato kibble. Both pages publish the same ingredient list in the same order, the same nine guarantees to the same decimal, and the same 405 kcal per cup and 3,565 kcal per kilogram. The difference is kibble size, not nutrition, so choose between them on your dog's mouth rather than on the spec sheet. Two further notes taken straight off the maker's page rather than smoothed over. The naming is inconsistent again: sold as a Little Bites recipe with sweet potato in the name, guaranteed on the same page as Grain Free Buffalo & Whitefish Little Bites Recipe with no sweet potato, so search for both. And two organism names are misspelled in the published list, Lactobacilus acidophilus with one l and Baciollus coagulans, transcribed here exactly as the maker prints them. The recipe leads with buffalo but lists Pork Meal fifth, 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.
