Energy 3,597 kcal/kg calculated metabolizable energy (414 kcal/cup). AAFCO: Puppy Chow Complete is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, including growth of large sized dogs, 70 lb or more as an adult (per manufacturer). Whole grain corn is the first ingredient.

This dry kibble recipe is formulated to cover every life stage in one bag, including growth of large sized puppies and the reproduction of adult females, rather than being split into separate puppy and adult formulas. The first five ingredients are whole grain corn, chicken by-product meal, corn protein meal, animal fat preserved with mixed tocopherols and soybean meal, weighed before cooking, with named chicken and a poultry and pork digest appearing further down the list as flavoring rather than the lead ingredient. The label carries a feeding for reproduction note stating that intake may need to double or quadruple during lactation compared with normal maintenance feeding, a detail specific to this formulation. The feeding table is staged by breed size at maturity, from 3 to 12 lb up through 101 lb and over, crossed with the dog's current age from 1 and a half months up through after 2 years, at which point the label directs the owner to the adult Dog Chow formula. 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.
