Vital Essentials makes this rabbit recipe as frozen raw patties, a whole-prey style formula built mostly from rabbit muscle meat and organs rather than a ground meal. The first five ingredients on the label are Rabbit with bone, rabbit liver, rabbit heart, rabbit kidney, rabbit lung, listed by pre cooking weight, so the named rabbit parts make up the bulk of the recipe before the vitamin and mineral supplements further down the list. The manufacturer formulates it for All Life Stages, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult). The frozen format is meant to be fed as is or rehydrated with warm water depending on the piece size, and the guaranteed analysis is printed on an as fed basis on the package. 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.
