This dry kibble recipe from Blue Buffalo's True Solutions line is built around salmon as the first named protein for adult dogs, and the manufacturer states it is formulated by veterinarians and PhD animal nutritionists. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Salmon, Salmon Meal, Oatmeal, Brown Rice and Barley, so the fresh salmon loses water weight during cooking while the salmon meal that follows contributes concentrated protein ahead of the grains. The manufacturer's feeding chart runs from about half a cup a day for dogs under fifteen pounds up to five and a quarter cups for dogs near one hundred pounds, with an added allowance above that. Bags are sold in 4, 11, 20 and 24 pound sizes. The manufacturer states the recipe contains no corn, wheat, soy, dairy or eggs. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
