Freshpet Vital Small Breed Beef, Turkey and Lamb is a refrigerated, gently steamed recipe the manufacturer formulates specifically for the energy needs of small dogs and states is chicken free. Beef is the first ingredient by pre cooking weight, followed by turkey, beef livers, lamb and green beans, so three distinct animal proteins outweigh any grain or vegetable on the label. Freshpet's AAFCO statement on this page covers all life stages except the growth of large size dogs 70 pounds or more as adults, a narrower claim than most other recipes in this comparison because the recipe is sized and formulated for small breeds. Freshpet publishes an origin for each ingredient on the page, describing its beef as natural and US-farm raised, its turkey as US-farm raised and locally sourced, and its lamb as grass-fed and humanely raised. The recipe is sold in a 1 pound bag on the manufacturer's own site. Whatever food ends up in the bowl, a single ingredient freeze dried topper is a way to add interest without changing the diet, which is what Sniff and Shift makes in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
