Oh I did ask for max or average, this is what they replied back.
MomOfThorMemberThis is what I got from Welness:
Complete Health Puppy Deboned Chicken, Oatmeal & Salmon Meal Recipe:
Calories: 450Kcal per 8oz cup or 3,911Kcal per Kg
Protein: As Fed: 29.09% Dry Matter: 21.62%
Fat: As Fed: 17.51% Dry Matter: 19.03%
Carb: As Fed: 36.72% Dry Matter: 39.91%
Fiber: As Fed: 2.78% Dry Matter: 3.02%
Ash: As Fed: 6.63% Dry Matter: 7.20%
Ca: As Fed: 1.66% Dry Matter: 1.80%
Phos: As Fed: 1.17% Dry Matter: 1.27%
Mag: As Fed: 0.17% Dry Matter: 0.18%
Sod: As Fed: 0.23% Dry Matter: 0.25%Calcium = 4.2 g per 1000 kcal
Ca to P ratio = 1.4 to 1MomOfThorMemberI did buy a bag od his current food so l can switch him slowly. Chewy does not ship outside USA
MomOfThorMemberSo please can you advise me what food to take as my lab puppy arrives this Saturday so l can still exchange the bag of Holistic I bought for him. I’m in Canada. Thank you!!!
MomOfThorMemberWellness core large breed puppy grain free has this ratio Calcium = 5.6 g per 1000 kcal
Ca to P ratio = 1.7 to 1 @ Calcium (Max)2.00% Phosphorus (Max)1.15% which is lower than HS but still more than recommended. So really is there a proper food with the right ratio out there?MomOfThorMemberFor example even Welness puppy had 1.3% calcium and 1.0% phosphorus on the label which seems more than Holistic so we can’t really know for sure.
MomOfThorMemberThis food has 4 stars on this forum and on the label it says 1.1% calcium and 0.8% phosphorus. The manufacturer says that as fed percentage for Calcium is 2.21% and the Phosphorous is 1.25%. And l haven’t seen any labels from other manufacturers that have less calcium and phosphorus than this one which means that the % per sercing is higher than stated everywhere. I was going with Acana or Orijen but their protein is about 40% give or take and also the stated cal/p % is not different than Holistic.
MomOfThorMemberCalcium = 6.3 g per 1000 kcal
Ca to P ratio = 1.8 to 1 is what I got 5 min ago from the manufacturer, so not much differenceMomOfThorMemberI sent them an email and will update the info when they get back to me.

MomOfThorMemberSo I chose Holistic Select Large Breed Puppy Lamb and Oatmeal Formula. Was going to go with Orijen but they have really high protein of 38%, that’s why I chose Holistic, their protein is 23% and 1.1% phosphorus.
MomOfThorMemberHi all!
i’m super new to this forum and so far I love it!!! I’m getting my black lab puppy this Saturday and the info on food is super confusing to me. Raw food, kibble, mix…can’t really decide. I was going with the raw but having a 20 months old son around raw eating dog kind of scares me. So we decided to feed him kibble for the first few months and then switch him to raw. He’s on Puppy Chow at the breeder right now and I’m switching him from that as soon as I get him. I did but a bag of Puppy Chow to make the transition easier for him by mixing it with the new food, just can’t decide what food to put him on. I live in Canada and there is a wide variety of good high end quality food, just can’t make up my mind. Help this new momma pleeeease!!! Thank you!!! -
