This shredded blend dry recipe is sized for small breed dogs, combining crunchy bite-sized kibble with tender shredded pieces. Its first five ingredients by pre-cook weight are chicken, rice, poultry by-product meal, beef fat preserved with mixed tocopherols and corn protein meal. Compared with the standard-size Complete Essentials shredded chicken recipe, this one guarantees a higher protein minimum at 29 percent, reflecting the higher metabolic rate of smaller dogs relative to their body weight. Purina sells this recipe in bag sizes including 6 lb and 18 lb. It is formulated for adult dogs and guarantees live Bacillus coagulans probiotics on the same panel used across the Complete Essentials line. The feeding chart is scaled to small dogs, running from about 1/2 cup a day for a 3 to 12 lb dog up to roughly 1-1/2 cups for a 20 lb dog, fed once daily and adjusted for body condition. 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.
