Hi, thank you. On the same page I read that a calcium ideal was 3, and should NOT exceed 4.5. I got 5.5, which is what is causing concern.

These are the numbers I plugged in, and the result:

Calcium Content Analyzer
Step 1
Enter dog food’s calcium content
2% Calcium
Step 2
Enter dog food’s phosphorus content
1.4% Phosphorus
Step 3
Enter dog food’s calorie content
3660 kcal / kg

Result:

Calcium = 5.5 g per 1000 kcal
Ca to P ratio = 1.4 to 1

Thanks for your help. Just trying to get my new pup off to the best start 😊
