Is anyone familiar with this company? I noticed the freeze dried chicken food on Chewy, it's a "balanced" food, however, no calcium source is listed for the chicken recipe.

My sense is that the calcium source is ground bone and that they are not listing it as ground bone but just "chicken". If they are using a calcium supplement then they are required, per AAFCO, to list the calcium supplement in their ingredient list.
Per question #5 re: this product on the Chewy site, someone asks if the food is boneless or with bone but the rep's response is equally ambiguous:
"The calcium inclusion is generated both by the naturally occurring calcium in the protein, and from a calcium supplement included to ensure the diets meet AAFCO requirements year round."
I emailed MM's, I'll post back if they respond.
