How it works · Step 3 of 3

Check the nutrient summary

See exactly where the recipe stands, and what changes when you add something.

What you see

Every nutrient compared with NRC 2006 targets for your dog's life stage: what is adequate, what is low, what is close to a safe upper limit, and what we cannot check because a food has no data. Gaps are shown, never guessed.

Then try a fix

Add an ingredient and the numbers move. Here, half a teaspoon of eggshell powder takes calcium from Deficient to Adequate and changes nothing else.
