Guaranteed analysis, transcribed in the maker's own wording: Crude Protein (minimum) 24%, Crude Fat (minimum) 7.5%, Crude Fat (maximum) 9%, Crude Fiber (minimum) 4%, Moisture (maximum) 10%, Calcium (minimum) 1.1%, Phosphorus (minimum) 0.9%, Vitamin E (minimum) 300 IU/kg, L-Carnitin (minimum) 100mg/kg, Glucosamine (minimum) 400mg/kg, Chondroitin Sulfate (minimum) 200mg/kg, Omega 6 Fatty Acids (minimum) 2.5%, Omega 3 Fatty Acids (minimum) 0.5%. Calorie content published as 288 kcal per cup and 3,213 kcal per kilogram. On a dry matter basis the guarantees work out to roughly 27 percent protein and 8 percent fat.

Two printing slips on the maker's page are recorded here rather than quietly corrected, because both change how a careful reader interprets the label. Crude fiber is printed as a minimum of 4%, where a guaranteed analysis conventionally gives fiber as a maximum, and the Little Bites version of this same recipe does print it as a maximum, so the two sibling pages disagree with each other on the same number. L-Carnitine is also printed as 'L-Carnitin', missing its final e. Both are transcribed above exactly as published. What the bag genuinely offers is a checkable reduced fat claim: a published fat maximum of 9% against a 7.5% floor, one of only two Health Extension recipes to bound fat at the top as well as the bottom, together with L-Carnitine at 100mg/kg, glucosamine at 400mg/kg, chondroitin sulfate at 200mg/kg and vitamin E doubled to 300 IU/kg. At 288 kcal per cup it ties the Little Bites Lite bag as the least calorie dense food in the range, though the two differ on kcal per kilogram, 3,213 here against 3,025. The AAFCO statement covers adult maintenance only. Menhaden Fish Meal is listed seventh, so this is not a single protein diet. Health Extension publishes no made-in statement and no sourcing statement, which holds the disclosure tally at 5.
