The large breed version of the salmon recipe, and the highest scoring Wholesomes food in this batch on the disclosure tally. Two differences from the standard salmon recipe matter if you are choosing between them. Protein rises from 23.0% to 24.0% as fed, which crosses the 26% dry matter mark, and the ingredient order shifts: ground rice moves up to third and whitefish meal to fourth, where the standard recipe runs oatmeal and pearled barley ahead of them. The calorie figures are identical at 3,450 per kilogram and 340 per cup, so the extra protein arrives without extra energy density. One absence worth flagging, since large breed buyers tend to look for it: this recipe publishes no guaranteed glucosamine or chondroitin level, although the maker describes both fish meals elsewhere in the range as natural sources of each. 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.
