This grain free dry kibble recipe from Blue Buffalo's Basics limited ingredient line is formulated for adult dogs around turkey as the only named animal protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Turkey, Potatoes, Turkey Meal, Pea Starch and Peas, so the fresh turkey loses moisture during cooking while the turkey meal that follows adds concentrated protein. Blue Buffalo's feeding chart runs from about half a cup a day for dogs under fifteen pounds to roughly five and a half cups for dogs near one hundred pounds, with an added allowance above that weight. Bags come in 4, 11 and 22 pound sizes. The manufacturer states this recipe is free of the grains that contain gluten. Sniff and Shift makes single ingredient freeze dried treats, which are treats rather than meals, and they pair with any complete diet on this list.
