Hi Lyceum

Orijen seems to match the above criterea(although im sure someone will point out a controversial ingredient ..... the ingredent\vitamin list is shown below... it clearly knocks NDFG kibble into a cocked hat

ORIJEN REGIONAL RED is made with a Biologically Appropriate ingredient ratio (70/30/0) of 70% meat, 30% fruit and vegetables (and 0% grain).

ORIJEN fresh, never-frozen red meats are raised within our region and delivered to us daily by people we know and trust. Wild boar, lamb, bison and heritage pork are all raised 'free-range' on a natural diet free of growth hormones and antibiotics.

Fresh fish are caught-wild using sustainable harvesting practices and delivered FRESH (never frozen, no preservatives). Omega-3 (DHA, EPA) is from fresh fish, NOT sunflower, flax or canola oils (ALA) which are ineffective in the body of a dog.

Unequalled in any other dry pet food, ORIJEN REGIONAL RED features 4 fresh red meats to better match the various foods Nature intended dogs to eat. Veterinary selected botanicals soothe, nourish and tone the digestive tract while strengthening the liver.

Calories
A BIOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE CALORIE DISTRIBUTION

There are 3 sources of calories in all dog foods - protein, fat & carbohydrates.

Protein and fat are essential, carbohydrates are not. While dogs thrive on proteins and fats, they require absolutely no carbohydrate in their diet.

Simple carbohydrates cause blood sugar levels to elevate and fluctuate.

When not used for energy, carbohydrates are stored in the body as fat.

Carbohydrates are the leading dietary cause of overweight conditions in dogs.

By providing more calories from protein and fewer calories from carbohydrate, ORIJEN reduces the risk of obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes.

CALORIE CONTENT & DISTRIBUTION
ORIJEN REGIONAL RED has a Metabolizable Energy (ME) of 3990 kcal/kg or 475 kcal per 250ml cup (120g). Calories are distributed to promote peak physical conditioning with 38% from protein, 22% from fruit & vegetables and 40% from fat.

NUTRITIONAL GUARANTEE
ORIJEN REGIONAL RED is formulated to meet nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for ALL LIFE STAGES
