The AAFCO minimum for protein for adult maintenance is 18% protein on a dry matter basis. Wild Earth Performance Formula contains 31.1% protein, and this protein comes primarily from dried yeast and potato protein. Unlike many other plant-based dog foods, we do not incorporate legumes in our performance or core formulas. For fat, the AAFCO minimum is 5.5% for adult maintenance. Wild Earth Performance Formula contains 12.2% fat on a dry matter basis, and plant sources of fat include flaxseed, marine microalgae, and sunflower oil to name a few. At Wild Earth, we go one step further to guarantee amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids to make sure dogs are getting the good fat they need to maintain a healthy immune system. Both starches and fiber are classified as carbohydrates. They provide energy and help maintain a healthy digestive system respectively.
    A few carbohydrate sources for our performance formula are oats, sweet potatoes, and barley. While AAFCO does not have a set requirement for carbohydrates, they do require maximum fiber to be printed on the bag. Lastly, for vitamins and minerals, we use a combination of plant-based and synthetic vitamins and minerals, similar to many commercially available pet foods. As you can see from looking at our bag, our dog food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO dog food nutrient profiles for maintenance. This means that our food meets and in reality actually exceeds the nutrient level recommendations set forth by AAFCO.
