This canned recipe opens with duck, followed by duck broth, then peas and chickpeas by pre cooking weight, and it uses agar-agar rather than a starch thickener to set the pate texture. It is formulated for all life stages, including growth of large size dogs. The manufacturer publishes a guaranteed maximum moisture of 78 percent, typical for a canned food, and lists an energy content of 1,230 kcal per kilogram, or 453 kcal per can. Marine microalgae oil supplies omega fatty acids in place of a fish oil, and the ingredient panel is shorter than Zignature's dry kibble recipes, without the multi strain probiotic blend the brand adds to its Original dry line. 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.
