This dry kibble recipe is Blue Buffalo's Basics limited ingredient formula for large breed adult dogs, built around turkey as the sole named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Turkey, Oatmeal, Brown Rice, Peas and Turkey Meal, with the fresh turkey shedding moisture in cooking while the turkey meal that follows adds protein in concentrated form. The manufacturer's feeding chart is scaled for larger dogs, running from about three cups a day for dogs in the fifty to seventy pound range up to over five cups for dogs above one hundred pounds. The bag comes in a 24 pound size. Blue Buffalo states the recipe adds glucosamine and chondroitin for bigger dogs. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
