Northwest Naturals sells this recipe as freeze-dried raw nuggets, small pucks portioned for scooping rather than a single block. The first five ingredients on the label are Beef, Beef Heart, Beef Liver, Ground Beef Bone, Broccoli, listed by pre cooking weight, so the named meat and organs outweigh the produce added further down the list. The manufacturer states the recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth/all life stages except for growth of large-sized dogs (70lbs or more as an adult), which covers puppies as well as adult dogs. Northwest Naturals also states that all of its ingredients are USDA inspected. The freeze-dried nuggets are meant to be rehydrated with water in the portion needed rather than the whole package at once. 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.
