Beef is the first ingredient.

This shredded blend dry food pairs crunchy kibble with tender shredded pieces in one bag. The label's first five ingredients by pre-cook weight are beef, rice, whole grain wheat, poultry by-product meal and whole grain corn; fresh beef carries significant moisture before extrusion, so it can rank first on the ingredient list while contributing less to the finished kibble's dry matter than the grains that follow it. Purina formulates this recipe for adult dogs and packages it in a 35 lb bag, among other sizes sold at retail. The manufacturer's recommended feeding chart runs from about 1/2 cup a day for a 3 to 12 lb dog up to roughly 4-2/3 cups plus more for dogs over 100 lb, fed once daily for an average active adult and adjusted for body condition. Live Bacillus coagulans probiotics are guaranteed on the analysis panel. 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.
