Nulo Frontrunner Puppy Ancient Grains Chicken, Oats & Turkey Recipe is the puppy counterpart to the Frontrunner line's Beef, Barley & Lamb recipe, formulated to an AAFCO statement that covers growth of large size dogs expected to reach 70 pounds or more as adults, unlike the Nulo FreeStyle puppy recipes covered separately, which exclude that growth class. Deboned chicken leads the panel, followed by chicken meal, oats, barley and brown rice, with deboned turkey as a second named protein. Salmon oil is listed separately from the named meats as an added fat and omega source. The manufacturer sells this recipe in 3, 5, 11, 23 and 25 pound bags, the same range as the adult Frontrunner recipe. 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.
