Guaranteed analysis (as fed, per manufacturer): Crude Protein (min) 23.0%, Crude Fat (min) 13.0%, Crude Fiber (max) 5.0%, Moisture (max) 10.0%, Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) (min) 0.05%, Taurine (min) 0.1%, Omega-6 Fatty Acids (min) 1.7%, Omega-3 Fatty Acids (min) 1.3%. The maker footnotes taurine, DHA and the omega fatty acids as not recognised as essential nutrients by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles. Energy 3,500 kcal/kg calculated metabolizable energy (345 kcal/cup). AAFCO: formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages including growth of large size dogs, 70 lb. or more as an adult. Lamb Meal is the first ingredient.
A grain inclusive kibble built around a single named meat meal, with brown rice, oatmeal, pearled barley and ground rice behind it, and the maker labels it pea, lentil and legume free, which is the point of difference against the Wholesomes potato recipes. Whitefish meal appears seventh and is flagged by the maker as a natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin. Worth noting for anyone cross shopping the range: this recipe carries the full AAFCO all life stages statement including large breed growth, so it covers puppies as well as adults despite the adult label on the comparison row. The protein figure of 23.0% as fed works out at roughly 25.6% on a dry matter basis once the 10% moisture is removed, which sits just under the 26% mark used in the disclosure tally above. 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.
