Hey all here is the response I got:

You submitted the following question to the PetDiets website.

Your Question:
In regards to large breed puppy foods. Is it safe for the calcium to calorie ratio to fall below 3g/1000 kcals?

Response from our Nutritionist:
The NRC 2006 min is 2.0 g Ca/Mcal for growth and we know no different for large puppies.
