  Species-Specific Range This bucket uses dry-matter label math. Cats use a higher protein threshold than dogs because cats generally have higher protein needs, so a value that is super high for a dog may only be high for a cat.

  Health Context Matters Healthy adult and senior pets still need enough high-quality protein to maintain lean tissue. Pets with chronic kidney disease or other medical conditions may need adjusted nutrient targets, so those cases should be managed with veterinary guidance.

  Very Energy Dense This dry-matter fat range can provide a lot of calories in a small amount of food. It may fit some working, very active, or underweight pets when the full diet is appropriate.

  Medical Context Matters Pancreatitis nutrition is case-dependent. Low-fat diets are often used for dogs with pancreatitis, while cats may need different strategies such as highly digestible or hydrolyzed diets. Pets with pancreatitis history, digestive disease, or weight concerns should follow veterinary guidance.
