Brewers rice is the first ingredient.

Cavalier King Charles Adult is formulated for purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniels 10 months and older. Its first five ingredients by pre cooking weight are brewers rice, wheat gluten, chicken by-product meal, corn and chicken fat. The recipe guarantees taurine at 0.25 percent minimum and L-carnitine, nutrients the manufacturer connects to heart health, a detail relevant given the breed's known predisposition to heart valve disease, though Royal Canin's page does not make that clinical claim itself. Royal Canin states the kibble is shaped for the breed's slightly tapered muzzle and scissor bite. Feeding portions run from 7/8 to 1 7/8 cups daily for dogs weighing 11 to 20 lb. Royal Canin sells this recipe in a single 10 lb bag. 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.
