Royal Canin mix ratio and nutritional info help.

[Itchiku's dad]

I finally managed to find some Royal Canin puppy baby milk formula. It's very hard to track down the things that you can get in pet smart or some place like that as South East Asia doesn't have anything like that. We have to make good with what is available to us here. so I need some help here? can some compare the nutritional data here for the Royal Canin to fox valley and let me know where it falls short or post up the fox valley data for me. Also does anyone know what ratio I should use?
