This grain free dry kibble recipe from Blue Buffalo's Freedom line is formulated for adult dogs around lamb as the only named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Lamb, Lamb Meal, Potatoes, Peas and Pea Starch, so the fresh lamb sheds water weight in cooking while the lamb meal that follows adds concentrated protein. The manufacturer's feeding chart runs from about half a cup a day for dogs under fifteen pounds to roughly five cups for dogs near one hundred pounds, with an additional allowance for heavier dogs. Bags come in 11 and 24 pound sizes. The recipe is free of the grains that contain gluten. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
