This dry kibble recipe is Blue Buffalo's True Solutions formula sized for small breed adult dogs, built around chicken as the first named protein, and the manufacturer states it is veterinarian formulated. The first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Barley, Oatmeal and Brown Rice, with the fresh chicken losing moisture in cooking while the chicken meal that follows supplies concentrated protein ahead of the grains. The manufacturer's feeding chart is scaled for small dogs, from about a quarter cup a day for dogs under five pounds up to one and a half cups for dogs near twenty two pounds. Availability is limited to local retailers, per the manufacturer, and no bag size is published on the product page. The recipe adds L-carnitine and a TruMune nutrient blend, per the manufacturer. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
