This dry kibble recipe is positioned by the manufacturer around a higher protein guarantee than the standard Dog Chow Complete line, with real chicken named on the front of the bag even though it sits well down the ingredient list behind whole grain corn, poultry by-product meal, corn protein meal and animal fat, weighed by pre cooking weight. The manufacturer describes it as a 27 to 14 protein to fat ratio formula for active dogs. It ships in 18 lb and 44 lb bags, and the feeding table runs from a third of a cup for a 3 to 12 lb dog up to four and a quarter cups plus a quarter cup per additional 10 lb for dogs over 100 lb, using a standard 8 ounce cup measuring about 117 grams of product. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
