Salmon is the first ingredient.

This dry kibble recipe leads with salmon ahead of whole grain corn, whole grain wheat, soybean meal and barley, weighed by pre cooking weight, and the manufacturer positions it as an omega 6 source for skin and coat. The label lists dried sweet potatoes, dried green beans and dried carrots as the produce accents further down the ingredient panel. The manufacturer formulates the recipe for adult dog maintenance and sells it in 14 lb, 28 lb and 36 lb bags, with a feeding table running from a third of a cup for a 3 to 12 lb dog up to four and a half cups plus an extra quarter cup per 10 lb for dogs over 100 lb, using a standard 8 ounce cup measuring about 108 grams of product. Most adult dogs are fed once daily on this recipe, though the label allows a twice a day split for higher activity dogs. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
