Canidae All Life Stages Real Salmon & Ancient Grains Recipe is a dry kibble built around salmon as the first ingredient, followed by chicken meal, oatmeal, barley and whole grain sorghum. Three meals appear in the formula, chicken, pork and turkey, each labeled on the package as a source of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate rather than a generic filler meat. The manufacturer offers this recipe in 5 and 27 pound bags and states the food is formulated for all life stages, including growth of large breed puppies. Salmon oil supplies additional fat further down the ingredient list, after the named grains. As with the manufacturer's other All Life Stages recipes, a 7 to 10 day transition schedule mixing the new food with the old is recommended on the package for dogs switching diets. 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.
