Wellness Complete Health Beef & Barley Recipe is a dry kibble formulated for adult dogs. Its first five ingredients are deboned beef, chicken meal, barley, brown rice, and oatmeal, listed by pre-cooking weight, meaning the amount of each ingredient is measured before cooking removes moisture, which is why a moist ingredient like deboned beef can rank first by weight while contributing less finished dry matter than a concentrated meal ingredient. Wellness offers this recipe in 5 pound and 26 pound quad bottom pouch. The maker's feeding chart runs about half a cup daily for a 6 to 20 pound dog up to roughly 4 and a half to 5 and a quarter cups for a 95 to 115 pound dog, with an additional third cup suggested for every 10 pounds over 115 pounds. Wellness states the recipe is produced in the USA with globally sourced ingredients. 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.
