Hi Bobby Dog,

Thanks for the kind words.

Food for thought regarding the 10% rule. I think it is conservative and is based to cover those dogs whose energy requirements are on the low end of the spectrum. As example a dog that is on the low end of the energy requirement scale require 1 cup a day to maintain weight while another dog of the same weight needs 2 cups a day. If it only requires 1 cup to meet the dog’s nutrient needs that the other cup is for energy and therefore those calories don’t necessarily need to come from a rigid complete and balanced source.
