Ingredients on a dry kibble label are listed by pre cooking weight, so the first five on the manufacturer's page, deboned chicken, chicken meal, dried chicken, oatmeal, barley, are the heaviest inputs before the food is extruded and dried. The recipe is formulated for puppies, and Blue Buffalo publishes it in 4.5, 13, 24 & 28-lb bags. The manufacturer lists 3,748 Kcals/kg, 433 Kcals/cup for this recipe. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
