This is a dry kibble recipe Taste of the Wild formulates under its Ancient Grains line for all life stages, including the growth of large breed puppies. Ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, and the first five here are Salmon, Salmon Meal, Fish Meal, Grain Sorghum, Millet, so the fresh named protein that leads the list loses water weight during cooking while any meal further down the list contributes concentrated protein after processing. The manufacturer states: The facility in which this food is made also makes foods that include other ingredients not listed. Trace amounts of these other ingredients and other substances may be present. It comes in 5 lb, 14 lb, 28 lb bags. The manufacturer publishes a feeding chart: Table-based daily cup recommendations by weight and life stage. The label also guarantees a live microorganism count from a blend of probiotic fermentation products. Dried chicory root appears in the ingredient list as a source of prebiotic fiber. 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.
