Canidae All Life Stages High Protein Salmon & Ancient Grains Recipe leads with salmon, then turkey meal and chicken meal, both marked as sources of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, ahead of chicken fat and whole grain sorghum. At 30 percent minimum crude protein and 20 percent minimum crude fat as fed, it matches the fat and protein guarantees of the manufacturer's Multi-Protein High Protein recipe but builds the amino acid profile around fish and poultry rather than red meat. The manufacturer formulates it for all life stages, including growth of large breed puppies, and sells it in 4 and 27 pound bags. Pork meal and pea protein appear further down the ingredient list as secondary protein sources. Salmon oil, listed separately from the fish itself, contributes additional fat and omega fatty acids. 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.
