Blue Buffalo sizes this dry kibble recipe, from its True Solutions line, for large breed adult dogs and builds it around chicken as the first named protein, veterinarian formulated per the manufacturer. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Brown Rice, Oatmeal and Barley, so the fresh chicken sheds water weight in cooking while the chicken meal that follows adds concentrated protein ahead of the grains. The manufacturer's feeding chart for larger dogs runs from about three and a quarter cups a day for dogs in the fifty five to seventy pound range up to five cups for dogs near one hundred pounds. Bags are sold in 11 and 24 pound sizes. The recipe adds EPA, glucosamine and chondroitin, which the ingredient list attributes partly to salmon meal. 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.
