This is a dry kibble recipe Diamond Naturals formulates under its Diamond Naturals line for puppy growth. Ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, and the first five here are Lamb, lamb meal, whole grain brown rice, cracked pearled barley, grain sorghum, so the fresh named protein that leads the list loses water weight during cooking while any meal further down the list contributes concentrated protein after processing. It comes in 6oz, 6lb, 20lb, 40lb bags. The manufacturer publishes a feeding chart: Feeding chart by current weight and age bracket (2-4 months, 4-8 months, 8-12 months, Adult Dogs), 10 lb to 175 lb range. The label also guarantees a live microorganism count from a blend of probiotic fermentation products. The label guarantees a minimum DHA level, which the manufacturer markets toward puppy brain and eye development. Dried chicory root appears in the ingredient list as a source of prebiotic fiber. 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.
