This pate style recipe comes in a 185 gram can, sized for small to medium dogs or for use as a meal topper. The manufacturer lists venison and venison offal first, followed by water for processing, then beef lung, beef, beef liver, and lamb plasma, in pre cooking weight order, which is why water sits high on the list even though the finished pate is mostly meat once cooked down. The manufacturer states the recipe is 92 percent animal ingredients and free of grains, gluten, and the nine most common food allergens, and formulates it for all life stages per its own nutrient adequacy statement. Feeding guidelines run from about one and a half cans a day for a 4.5 to 11 kilogram dog up to six and three quarter cans for a dog between 11 and 25 kilograms, with instructions to reduce the amount when paired with dry food and refrigerate any unused portion. The manufacturer states the product is made in New Zealand. 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.
