Two things on this page need saying plainly. The nutritional guarantee printed on the standard bag's product page names the product Grain Free Venison Little Bites Recipe, which is the small kibble version sold separately, so the adequacy statement carried here is the maker's own text with the wrong product name in it. The statement itself, all life stages including growth of large size dogs, is identical on both pages and both recipes publish identical guarantees and calories, so the substance is not in doubt, only the label on it. Second, this recipe guarantees phosphorus at 1.20 percent minimum and calcium at 1.0 percent, which is the reverse of the ratio printed on the buffalo, chicken and salmon recipes in the same range, and it is worth checking against the bag if your dog is on a mineral restricted diet. Pork meal sits fourth in a venison named recipe, so it is not a single protein food. No made-in statement and no sourcing statement are published.
