Blue Buffalo sizes this grain free dry kibble recipe, part of the Basics limited ingredient line, for small breed adult dogs and builds it around lamb as the single named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Lamb, Lamb Meal, Peas, Potatoes and Pea Starch, so the fresh lamb loses water weight during cooking while the lamb meal that follows it supplies protein in concentrated form. The manufacturer's feeding chart for this recipe runs from about a quarter cup a day for dogs under five pounds up to two cups for dogs near thirty pounds. The bag is sold in an 11 pound size. Blue Buffalo states this recipe balances protein and carbohydrate to match small breed dogs' higher energy needs. 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.
