This grain free canned recipe is Blue Buffalo's Freedom formula sized for small breed adult dogs, built around chicken as the single named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Chicken, Chicken Broth, Chicken Liver, Carrots and Peas, so three chicken derived ingredients lead the can ahead of the vegetables that follow. The manufacturer suggests feeding one and a half to two cans per six to eight pounds of body weight per day, and the can is sold in a 5.5 ounce size sized for small dogs, refrigerated once opened. The recipe adds L-carnitine and glucosamine. 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.
