I took a look at their dehydrated dog food products:
http://www.shop.dogsfortheearth.com/100-Organic-Dehydrated-Dog-Food_c2.htm

ALL of the dehydrated foods have the EXACT same GA. The numbers add up to 100% when converted to Dry Matter. Here’s the PROBLEM, the numbers for ALL their dehydrated formulas are:

Dry Matter Analysis (Done by me):
Protein 72%
Fat 16.8%
Fiber 11.2%
= 100%

Problem 1) Where are the carbs? They list fiber, but the ingredients show that there has to be a larger amount of carbs than fiber. There are 15 ingredients that contain carbs in EACH formula and the carbs are not 100% fiber so their fiber % is off.

Problem 2) The protein % is too high! In order for there to be 72% protein (DM) in ALL their formulas there would have to be very little carbs. Yet they list 15 ingredients with carbs in EACH formula. If this and all their other dehydrated products were 100% lean meat the protein % would be about 80%. 15 ingredients with carbs would bring the protein % LOWER than 72%.

Problem 3) They leave no room for ASH. There are minerals in the meat, vegetables and other ingredients in these foods, yet they leave no room for them in their GA which adds up to exactly 100% without them.

Problem 4) Can ALL of their dehydrated foods really have the exact same GA using different meat sources?

Problem 5) They list the GA wrong. AAFCO says the GA should be listed like this:

“guarantees are required for minimum percentages of crude protein and crude fat, and maximum percentages of crude fiber and moisture”

It looks like they list an AS FED analysis and not an AAFCO compliant GA.
