Blue Buffalo positions this dry kibble recipe within its Basics limited ingredient line as a lower calorie version for adult dogs, still built around a single named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Turkey, Oatmeal, Brown Rice, Potatoes and Peas, meaning the fresh turkey loses water weight in cooking while the grains and vegetables that follow it hold their listed order. The manufacturer's feeding chart gives separate weight reduction and weight maintenance columns, from about a quarter cup for the smallest dogs on the reduction plan up to nearly six cups for the largest dogs on maintenance. The bag comes in 4 and 24 pound sizes. The recipe carries added L-carnitine and glucosamine among its guarantees. 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.
