Blue Buffalo positions this grain free dry kibble recipe, from its Freedom line, as a lower calorie option for adult dogs built around chicken as the single named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Peas, Potatoes and Pea Starch, with the fresh chicken losing water weight in cooking while the chicken meal that follows contributes protein in concentrated form. The manufacturer's feeding chart gives separate weight reduction and weight maintenance columns, from about a quarter cup for the smallest dogs on reduction up to nearly six cups for the largest dogs on maintenance. The bag comes in a 24 pound size, and the recipe carries added L-carnitine, glucosamine and chondroitin. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
