Any idea what the salt content is on this product? I recently switched from Merrick to this brand and have noticed a big increase in my dog's thirst.

The Sodium content is 0.54% dry matter basis.

What is the calcium and phosphorus content? Is it appropriate for a large breed puppy?

On a dry matter basis, this formula has a Calcium content of 1.80% and a Phosphorous content of 1.58%. On as as fed basis, this formula has a Calcium content of 1.66% and a Phosphorous content of 1.46%. This recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO nutrient profiles for dogs of all breeds and life stages.

Is the natural flavoring in this MSG?

This formula does not contain MSG. The natural flavors are chicken-based.
