Merrick Kitchen Comforts Healthy Grains Real Salmon & Brown Rice Recipe is a dry kibble Merrick formulates for adult dogs, sold in 4 lb, 12 lb bags. Because ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, the first five on the label, salmon, chicken meal, brown rice, barley, oat meal, are the ones present in the largest amounts before cooking removes water and reduces bulk. The guaranteed analysis on the label lists 25.0% crude protein and 16.0% crude fat as fed. Merrick publishes a body weight based feeding chart on the product page and label rather than a single daily amount, since portion depends on a dog's weight and activity level. 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.
