I have seen some others post about Merrick kibble, and thought they might be interested in the info I got today re. the cal/phos percentages in the food. (Since this info is not on the bag nor on the website.) This is from the Customer Svc. Dept. via telephone.

****************** Cal. %******** Phos. %
Campfire Trout...............1.10..................0.74
Turducken.....................1.43..................1.08
Grammys Pot Pie.............1.47..................1.08
Winderness Blend............2.33..................1.60
Cowboy Cookout.............2.39..................1.55

Puppy Plate...................2.45...................1.58

I just emailed this morning for the same information on the new Before Grain kibbles.

Kinda ticks me off they don't have it on the bag or website. (but

that might just be because I'm cranky)

Sorry if I thread hijacked...I'm just wondering.

I've been trying to get a firm answer on this for awhile, I keep seeing 1:1 and/or 2:1 ratio of Cal to Phos.

Dog Aware (My favorite dog food site http://www.dogaware.com/wdjhomemade3.html ) says 800-1,000 mg Cal for an adult dog. Down in the puppy section of that page is a great bit on feeding puppies (I hadn't seen that before)
