Default Question about the "numbers" ...

I'm sitting here reading, and my analytical side kicked in.

Assuming you're feeding a high calcium food.....Let's use TOTW. 1.6% calcium.

How are they coming up with 1.6%?
Is it per daily feeding requirements?

If a dog requires 4 cups a day, and you feed only 3 cups, and supplement with fruits, veggies, and other calcium free foods, would that make the high calcium food better?

In my mind, that's only 1.2%

I'm curious who's making up these numbers, and what amount of food are they based on?
