Blue Buffalo formulates this grain free canned recipe, from its Freedom line, for senior dogs around chicken as the sole named protein. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Chicken, Chicken Broth, Chicken Liver, Carrots and Peas, with three chicken derived ingredients leading the can ahead of the vegetables that follow. Pea flour and pea fiber appear further down the label, and the guaranteed analysis lists lower protein and fat minimums than the adult and puppy formulas in the same line, consistent with a senior maintenance recipe. The manufacturer suggests feeding three quarters to one can per ten pounds of body weight per day, and the can comes in a 12.5 ounce size that should be refrigerated once opened. This recipe adds glucosamine and chondroitin, per the ingredient list. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
