If it's for sledge dogs then it can explain a lot. It may be a caloric bomb for normal dog. According to Royal Canin research centre a sledge dog needs during a sledge season from 2 (normal distances) up to 6 (!!! for Iditarod runs) times more food than normal dog.

For example a dry food that we give to our dogs (and its especially for large breeds) contains only 13% fat and a daily dosis for 40kg is only 300gr.
