This is a dry kibble recipe positioned by the manufacturer around a higher protein guarantee than its standard Dog Chow Complete line, with beef named on the front of the bag even though it sits well down the ingredient list. The first five ingredients are whole grain corn, poultry by-product meal, corn protein meal, animal fat preserved with mixed tocopherols and meat and bone meal, weighed by pre cooking weight, which is why a grain can lead the list ahead of the named meat the bag is marketed around. The manufacturer formulates the recipe for adult dog maintenance and publishes the label's feeding table using a standard 8 ounce cup measuring about 119 grams of product, running from a third of a cup for a 3 to 12 lb dog up to four and an eighth cups plus a quarter cup per additional 10 lb for dogs over 100 lb. The product page lists three bag sizes without stating the exact weights in the text captured here. 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.
