One labelling conflict to flag, because it is the maker's own and not a transcription slip. Blue Buffalo's page title for this recipe describes it as grain free, while the ingredient list it publishes on the same page contains Brown Rice, Barley and Oatmeal in eighth, ninth and tenth place. The ingredient list is the label, so treat this as a grain inclusive recipe and treat the grain free wording in the title as an error on the maker's side. Otherwise this is the most heavily supplemented can in the Homestyle range, with guaranteed glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, L-Carnitine, taurine and DHA.
