Turkey and chicken open the ingredient list on the Landfowl recipe, followed by turkey meal and chicken meal, then quinoa and pumpkin, the same carbohydrate pairing used across the Essence LIR line. At a 41.0% minimum crude protein, this is the highest protein figure among the three Essence LIR dry recipes, with a 20.5% minimum crude fat, the lowest fat figure in the same trio. Glucosamine and chondroitin are both guaranteed on the label, at 1000 mg and 900 mg per kg respectively, again marked with the maker's standard asterisk for guarantees outside the AAFCO essential nutrient list. The AAFCO statement matches the other two Essence LIR dry recipes, for growth, excluding growth of large size dogs. Chicken fat, preserved with mixed tocopherols, is the primary added fat, with marine microalgae oil listed later for omega fatty acids. The maker's page notes feeding up to twice the adult amount by weight during active growth. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
