This is a grain free canned recipe from Blue Buffalo's Freedom line, formulated for puppies around chicken as the single named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Chicken, Chicken Broth, Chicken Liver, Pea Flour and Carrots, so three chicken derived ingredients lead the can ahead of the pea flour and vegetables that follow. The manufacturer sets a three phase feeding schedule by age: as much as the puppy will eat in three to four feedings up to eleven weeks, one can per five pounds of body weight from twelve to twenty six weeks, and three quarters of a can per five pounds from twenty seven to fifty two weeks. The can is a 12.5 ounce size, refrigerated once opened. 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.
