This dry kibble recipe sits in Blue Buffalo's Basics limited ingredient line, formulated for adult dogs around a single named protein rather than a blend. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Salmon, Oatmeal, Brown Rice, Salmon Meal and Potatoes, so the fresh salmon leads on a wet weight basis while the salmon meal adds concentrated protein once the fresh fish loses moisture in cooking. Blue Buffalo publishes a feeding chart running from about half a cup a day for dogs under fifteen pounds up to over five cups for dogs near one hundred pounds, with an added allowance for dogs heavier than that. The bag is offered in 11 and 24 pound sizes. The manufacturer states this recipe is made without chicken, corn, wheat, soy, dairy or eggs. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
