Calorie content (calculated), metabolizable energy: 1,063 kcal/kg, 166 kcal per 5.5 oz can, 425 kcal per 14 oz can. Lamb is the first named ingredient after water sufficient for processing. No AAFCO nutrient profile statement is published.

The outlier of the eleven, and the one to know about if chicken is the problem. This is the only recipe in this group with no poultry in it at all: lamb first, mackerel second, then pumpkin and three lamb organ meats, lung, liver and kidney. Every other Weruva can in this library leads with chicken breast or carries chicken broth. It is also the most calorie dense by a wide margin at 1,063 kcal/kg, which is roughly double Jammin' Salmon, and its 6.0% fat works out at about 40% on a dry matter basis, the highest here. That combination, rich, fishy, organ heavy and poultry free, is a particular tool rather than an everyday food, and it is worth matching to the dog rather than buying on the name. One label observation, transcribed rather than corrected: no iron source is listed in the mineral run, where the other ten recipes all list Ferrous Sulfate. The missing AAFCO nutrient profile line applies here as across the range. 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.
