Test details
Nutrient test results
We compared the registered nutrient amounts (as labeled by the manufacturer) with the amounts actually detected. Items outside the standard are highlighted.
| Nutrient | Registered value | Actual detected | Judgment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crude protein | 35.0% min | 34.8% | Within range |
| Crude fat | 16.0% min | 17.71% | Within range |
| Crude fiber | 2.0% max | 0.38% | Within range |
| Crude ash | 11.9% max | 12.35% | Within range |
| Moisture | 9.0% max | 4.97% | Within range |
| Calcium | 1.8% min | 3.23% | !Over CVSC standard |
| Phosphorus | 1.4% min | 2% | !Over CVSC standard |
| Calcium-to-phosphorus ratio | - | 1.62:1 | Within range |
[Reasons for the Component Deviation and the Manufacturer's Position]
- Mixing-uniformity differences from using whole ingredients: When whole ingredients are used, per-product mixing uniformity can be somewhat lower, and mineral content can vary naturally with the season.
- Characteristics of the manufacturing process: Because no emulsification process is used, there can be variation from sample to sample; in its own testing, the manufacturer analyzes at least three different samples and calculates an average value.
- Characteristics of the ingredients: The higher the fresh-meat content, the higher minerals naturally test.
- Position on safety: We wish to emphasize that all of these minerals are naturally derived and are not artificially added chemicals.

A value gap too large even allowing for ingredient and process characteristics
While whole-ingredient use can produce inter-sample deviation or seasonal variation, the confirmed gap — an actual detected amount of 3.23% versus a registered amount of 1.8% — is too large to dismiss as natural variation or a limit of mixing uniformity; it exceeds even AAFCO's upper-limit standard. Minimizing inter-product deviation and keeping nutrient content consistent is also part of the basic quality control (QC) that any manufacturer of a dog's staple diet must secure. -
The safety of the ‘absolute amount,’ regardless of ingredient origin
The manufacturer emphasizes that the high fresh-meat content caused the high mineral readings and that these are 100% natural. However, a higher fresh-meat content simply makes minerals harder to control and regulate — it does not justify the high values themselves.
Whether naturally derived or an artificial chemical additive, if the absolute level of a nutrient exceeds the veterinary recommended upper limit, it can cause health problems for the pet. Before claiming ingredient excellence, controlling content within a safe range must come first.
In particular, food with excessively high calcium/phosphorus content can cause kidney-function abnormalities and may induce stones, which can be important nutritional information for an owner choosing a product. Therefore, we believe the labeling should be updated to match the actual nutritional design so that owners can verify accurate information.
