AAFCO: Holistic Health Extension Grain Free Salmon Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages including growth of large size dogs (70lbs. or more as an adult). On a dry matter basis the guarantees work out to roughly 28 percent protein and 17 percent fat.

This is the only recipe in the range that guarantees omega 3 fatty acids at 1.0 percent minimum rather than 0.5, which is consistent with an ingredient list led by salmon, menhaden fish meal, whitefish and salmon oil, four separate marine sources. It is also the most energy dense of the grain free dry recipes at 429 kcal per cup. Naming is inconsistent on the maker's own page, which sells it as Grain Free Salmon & Sweet Potato Recipe while the nutritional guarantee calls it Grain Free Salmon Recipe. The published ingredient list contains the misspelling Baciollus coagulans, transcribed here exactly as printed. No made-in statement and no sourcing statement are published for this recipe.
