I’ve emailed the Hi-Pro mill here in Canada for the nutrients and ingredients.
At least here, they are not a “fixed ingredient” formula, but rather say “oats and/or corn and/or wheat and/or barley.” Whatever is cheaper that month, I guess. Since I don’t want to feed corn or wheat, that takes them off my list!
They also have high-grain formulas, and high NSC levels.
Actually I see that they don’t give you the NSC levels.

I had to email the Hipro nutritionist directly to get an NSC for the kibble I was using as a treat. The only manufactured product I have used from Hi-Pro is their Step 5 kibble, which they call “Maintenance” (less dietary energy). The Hi-Pro nutritonist tells me it is 3100 kcal/kg, and 44 % NSC. I’ve used it as a hand-fed treat for clicker training. It is a crispy piece, that tastes a bit like cat food and a bit like a cracker for humans.
Anyhow, if 44 % NSC is Maintenance, I’d expect their “energy” feeds to be very high carb!
