Grain Free Dakota Frontier Buffalo Meal is a dry kibble from Grandma Mae's Country Naturals built around a less common protein, water buffalo meal, followed by chickpeas, lentils, yellow peas and tapioca as its first five ingredients. The manufacturer markets the recipe for adult and senior dogs, which is classified here as Adult, and states it is formulated to meet the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for Maintenance. It is sold in 4, 12 and 22 pound bags, with feeding amounts that the manufacturer says vary by age, breed, activity level and body condition on its printed chart. Menhaden fish oil and suncured alfalfa meal round out the ingredient panel. 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.
