Many raw and freeze-dried products do not carry AAFCO nutritional adequacy statements. This is common for the format and does not necessarily indicate a nutritional concern; you may wish to discuss a raw diet with a veterinary nutritionist.

Values as declared by the manufacturer (as fed). AAFCO minimums are published on a dry-matter basis and converted using the declared moisture before comparison; the comparison is shown for context only. Consult your vet for diet decisions.
