This dry kibble recipe is Blue Buffalo's Basics limited ingredient formula sized for small breed adult dogs, built around turkey as the single named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Turkey, Oatmeal, Turkey Meal, Brown Rice and Peas, with the fresh turkey losing moisture in cooking while the turkey meal that follows contributes protein in concentrated form. The manufacturer's feeding chart is scaled for small dogs, from about a quarter cup a day for dogs under five pounds up to nearly two cups for dogs near thirty pounds. Bags come in 4 and 11 pound sizes. Blue Buffalo states the recipe carries increased protein and carbohydrates to meet the higher energy needs of small breed dogs. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
