Yx, you are absolutely correct and it is so frustrating. I have contacted several companies asking for their typical values of calcium and phosphorus and got absolutely outrageous numbers, no where near appropriate for a growing LBP.
This is why I prefer companies like Purina and Hill’s. They spend millions of dollars on their own independent research on large breed puppy growth and nutrition, not to mention staff a team of veterinary nutritionists that are aware of the current needs based on research of large breed puppies. I have never had to worry that one of their formulas would be inappropriate for a large breed, while with smaller supposedly “better” companies I have been disappointed to find formulas labeled for large breed puppies that were wildly inappropriate for them.
If it were my dog, I would be using Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy. Thats just my opinion.
