I finally heard back from TotW …
Formulation Calcium Phosphorous
High Prairie Puppy 1.4% 1.0%
Pacific Stream Puppy 1.3% 1.0%for which I calculate Ca/1000cal to be 3.3 & 3.6 respectively. TotW suggested feeding guidelines are sure high however … for a 4mo/40lb GSD pup it is 5+ cups/day! I think I’ll stay with Orijen Large Puppy for which it would be only 3 cups/day.
Cheers 🙂
michael sMemberThanks Pitlove … I had contacted TotW and they, without providing their analysis, claimed their puppy foods were suitable for LB pups. I let them know I wouldn’t be continuing with TotW without knowing Ca/P. It’s too bad–they are well known for sourcing their ingredients.
I’ll probably switch to Orijen Large Puppy. Although expensive per bag, it is nutrient dense.

Good point about calorie/nutrient dense recipes. Relative to #s like 2.5g Ca per 1000kcal, is it possible to determine the pup’s daily portion? For example, if the pup weighs 25lb, can a daily portion be determined on the basis of feeding the pup based on so many calories (kcal) per pound per day? From Linda Case, I haven’t yet read on what basis daily portions are determined(?)
July 18, 2015 at 1:28 pm in reply to: Added protein from high-value training rewards #76017 Report Abusemichael sMemberThanks aquariagt… This canine nutrition forum is terrible with respect to searching. I’ll try to find the thread manually and leave a comment there if I have questions.
I happen to be reading Linda Case’s “Dog Food Logic” this week, which is up to date. I know what you mean about skeptvet, but strangely enough he recommends the book. Patricia McConnell also recommends it. The book’s recommendation for LGP is only 300-350 cal/cup, and she does say it’s more about calories and calcium, but I’m finding it difficult (so far) to find so few calories in a puppy food …
… The research continues …
