Oh geez, thanks for pointing that out! I tend to forget about checking the manufacturer's websites cause I'm not used to them having any decent info. Kudos to NV for putting that on there, although I wish they'd also put the 'as fed' values for protein/fat/carbohydrate and moisture, rather than the guaranteed analysis. Some of the flavours may have less than 75% moisture and would therefore have better phosphorus levels. I think that's why I prefer the mg per 100kcal method of comparison.
