The following lists the safe upper limits for dogs. Note that this list refers only to the safe upper limit based on the NRC-recommended allowance. Pet Diet 365 will automatically include these limits, including the safe upper limits for the NRC minimum requirements. We will use arbitrary amounts (including those from the FEDIAF/AAFCO industry standards) for nutrients that lack safe upper limits. We will also allow the user to alter these arbitrary amounts.

Note that puppies have more stringent requirements (see Lysine and Calcium).
