Beef meal leads the ingredient panel, followed by peas, sweet potato, chicken fat and menhaden fish meal, the last marked as a source of DHA. Glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate are added directly as named ingredients rather than only appearing as byproducts of a meal, which the label calls out separately from the standard glucosamine and chondroitin notations used on other VICTOR recipes. It comes in 5, 30 and 50 pound bags, a narrower range than most of the manufacturer's Purpose line. 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.
