Well, judging by the regular innova, that looks like it's almost true.
The calcium levels in Evo are pretty crazy. Definitely not suitable for large breed puppies. The phosphorus is much higher than the Wellness formulas people suspected of causing kidney failure, too.

Check out the vitamin C in evo- almost nonexistant.
And no vitamin K either. No taurine... No, definitely not balanced, IMO...
