Blue Buffalo builds this canned recipe, part of the Basics limited ingredient line, around whitefish as the sole named protein for adult dogs. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Whitefish, Fish Broth, Peas, Potatoes and Flaxseed, with the whitefish and its broth making up most of the can's weight ahead of the vegetable and seed ingredients that follow. The manufacturer suggests feeding one can a day for an average size dog, and the can is sold in a 12.5 ounce size that should be refrigerated once opened. The recipe is formulated 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.
