This dry kibble recipe is Blue Buffalo's Basics limited ingredient formula for senior dogs, built around turkey as the only named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Turkey, Oatmeal, Brown Rice, Potatoes and Peas, with the fresh turkey losing water weight in cooking while the grains and vegetables after it keep their listed order. The manufacturer's feeding chart runs from about half a cup a day for dogs under fifteen pounds up to nearly six cups for dogs near one hundred pounds, with an added allowance above that weight. Bags come in 4 and 24 pound sizes. Blue Buffalo states the recipe adds glucosamine and chondroitin for senior dogs' mobility. Sniff and Shift makes single ingredient freeze dried treats, which are treats rather than meals, and they pair with any complete diet on this list.
