Blue Buffalo builds this grain free dry kibble recipe, from its Freedom line, around beef as the single named protein for adult dogs. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Beef, Beef Meal, Peas, Potatoes and Pea Starch, with the fresh beef losing moisture during cooking while the beef meal that follows supplies protein in concentrated form. The manufacturer's feeding chart runs from about a quarter cup a day for dogs under fifteen pounds up to over five cups for dogs near one hundred pounds, with an added allowance above that weight. Bags are sold in 4, 11 and 24 pound sizes. The recipe is free of the grains that contain gluten. 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.
