Canidae All Life Stages Real Chicken & Ancient Grains Recipe is a dry kibble formulated for all life stages, including growth of large breed puppies. The first five ingredients are chicken, chicken meal, oatmeal, barley and whole grain sorghum, and because ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, the fresh chicken outweighs the meal before cooking drives off its moisture. Chicken meal is named on the label as a source of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate rather than a filler. The manufacturer sells this recipe in 5, 27 and 40 pound bags and publishes a Daily Feeding Guidelines chart by body weight on the package, along with a recommended 7 to 10 day transition schedule for dogs moving from a different diet. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens fermentation product appears in the ingredient list as a probiotic addition. 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.
