Deboned Chicken is the first ingredient.

This is a grain free dry kibble formulated for large breed puppies, sold in a 24 pound bag. Listed by pre-cooking weight, meaning ingredients are ordered by how much of each went into the recipe before cooking removes moisture, the first five ingredients are Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Peas, Turkey Meal, and Lentils. The manufacturer notes the Chicken Meal is a source of Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, and the formula includes dried fermentation products described as sources of live microorganisms. The feeding chart is broken out by puppy age and weight, running from about 2 cups a day for a 10 pound puppy up to 6 cups a day for a 100 pound puppy between 13 and 18 months. The manufacturer's spec sheet lists 3,505 kcal per kg (417 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.
