This wet pate recipe is formulated for puppies and opens its ingredient panel with chicken, chicken bone broth and chicken livers, followed by potatoes and wild caught Pacific salmon. Open Farm states it is formulated to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles for growth, including growth of large size dogs, 70 pounds or more as an adult, and lists the recipe as suitable for all puppies. The pate texture comes from tapioca and agar agar rather than the grains used in the brand's dry puppy kibbles. Because ingredients are ordered by pre cooking weight, the wet chicken and broth lead the panel even before moisture is accounted for. The manufacturer sells the recipe in 12.5 ounce cans, shipped by the case of 12. Sweet potatoes and flaxseed round out the early ingredient list. 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. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
