  • Chicken Soup For the Soul calc/phos %'s

    Hello! New Dane mom here. I would like to slowly transition Bella Mia, 15 wks old, to CSFTS. I would like to ask for advice on which kibble to choose. I understand calcium should not be over 1.5%, and phosphorus not over 1%.
    On the CSFTS site, Large Breed Puppy kibble has calcium listed as 1.2% Minimum, and phosphorus listed as 1.0 Minimum. Isn't that something to be concerned about since they are listed as minimum and %s could be higher? I contacted support (Valerie) and was given actual %'s for Adult and Large Breed Adult kibble. Adult kibble: 1.25% calc, .75 phos. Large Breed Adult kibble 1.10% calcium, .67% phos.
    I am wondering if it would be best to feed her the Adult kibble based on %'s. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Did you get the actual calcium/phosphorous for the large breed puppy? A couple years or so ago the levels were in the safe zone.. It is fine to go with the adult due to teh levels being in the safe zone..

      No, I have not yet received an answer from support regarding actual %'s in large breed puppy kibble. I emailed support again today asking for actual, or maxiumum %'s.
      Thank you, I appreciate your advice. If I don't get an answer, I will go with the Adult kibble to be safe.

        Per CSFTS support: "The food is formulated at 1% for phosphorus on a dry matter basis and that it is formulated at 1.7% calcium on a dry matter basis." Support confirmed these were actual percentages.
