Blue Buffalo builds this grain free dry kibble recipe, part of its Basics limited ingredient line, around lamb as the sole named animal protein for adult dogs. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Lamb, Potatoes, Pea Starch, Peas and Lamb Meal, with the fresh lamb losing water weight in cooking while the lamb meal that follows contributes protein in concentrated form. The manufacturer's feeding chart spans about half a cup a day for dogs under fifteen pounds up to just over five cups for dogs near one hundred pounds, with an additional allowance for heavier dogs. Bags are sold in 4, 11 and 22 pound sizes. The manufacturer states the recipe is free of the grains that contain gluten. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
