This canned recipe is Blue Buffalo's Basics limited ingredient formula sized for small breed adult dogs, built around lamb as the single named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Lamb, Lamb Broth, Potatoes, Flaxseed and Pea Protein, with the lamb and its broth leading the can ahead of the potato and seed ingredients that follow. The manufacturer suggests feeding two to three bowls per six to eight pounds of body weight per day, and the product is sold in 3 ounce cups meant to be refrigerated once opened rather than the larger cans used elsewhere in the line. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
