This recipe is a dry kibble dog food from Wellness's Simple line, formulated for adult dogs. Per the manufacturer, the first five ingredients listed are Duck, Oatmeal, Peas, Ground Brown Rice, Potato Protein. Ingredients on a pet food label are listed by pre-cooking weight, meaning the order reflects how much of each ingredient went into the recipe before cooking removed water, which is why a broth or fresh meat can outweigh a dry ingredient that is nutritionally concentrated. Wellness packages this recipe in 26 pound bags and its feeding guideline calls for amounts scaled to body weight from 6 to 115 or more pounds, shown in a chart on the bag, using a standard measuring cup of about 4.5 ounces or 129 grams. 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.
