Ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, and the first five here are Lamb meal, whole grain brown rice, cracked pearled barley, oatmeal, grain sorghum; leading with a meal rather than a fresh whole meat means the protein arrives already concentrated, since the moisture was removed before the ingredient was weighed. It comes in 6oz, 40lb bags. The manufacturer publishes a feeding chart: Feeding chart by current body weight from 60 lb to 175 lb, ranging from 3 3/4 to 8 1/2 standard measuring cups per day. The label also guarantees a live microorganism count from a blend of probiotic fermentation products. The label carries a guaranteed minimum for glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Dried chicory root appears in the ingredient list as a source of prebiotic fiber. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
