This is a grain free dry kibble from Wellness's CORE+ line, the current name for what the brand previously marketed as CORE RawRev, formulated for puppies and sold in 4 and 10 pound pouches. Listed by pre-cooking weight, the first five ingredients are Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal, Potatoes, and Lentils, with Turkey Liver and Turkey Hearts appearing further down the list. The feeding chart is organized by puppy weight and age, for example a 3 pound puppy gets about three quarters of a cup a day between 1.5 and 3 months, while a 60 pound puppy gets up to about 5 cups a day between 7 and 9 months. The manufacturer's spec sheet lists 3,678 kcal per kg (471 kcal per cup) and states the recipe has been substantiated through AAFCO-recognized feeding trial protocols, though the page does not disclose a country of manufacture or a per-recipe ingredient sourcing statement. 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.
