This is a dry kibble recipe Blue Buffalo formulates for puppies under its Basics limited ingredient line, built around a single named animal protein. Ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, and the first five here are Deboned Turkey, Turkey Meal, Oatmeal, Peas and Brown Rice, so the fresh turkey that leads the list loses water weight during cooking while the turkey meal contributes concentrated protein after processing. The manufacturer formulates it for puppy growth and publishes a feeding chart broken out by both body weight and age in months, from roughly a quarter cup for a puppy under five pounds up to over six cups a day for a puppy pushing sixty pounds. The bag comes in 4, 11 and 24 pound sizes. The manufacturer states the recipe is made without chicken, corn, wheat, soy, dairy or eggs. 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.
