Pork is the first ingredient.
Pork and lamb open this canned Ranch recipe, followed directly by pork broth and lamb liver, an organ meat not present in the dry Ranch recipe's ingredient list. The can artwork names it a 13 oz can. Where the dry Essence LIR Ranch recipe is formulated only to the growth profile excluding large breeds, the canned version carries the broader AAFCO statement for all life stages, including growth of large size dogs, matching the claim on the Inception Chicken and Pork cans rather than the narrower dry Essence statements. Marine microalgae oil is the listed fat source, positioned near the end of the ingredient list after the mineral and vitamin pack. The guaranteed analysis lists an 8.0% minimum crude fat, the highest fat figure among the three canned Essence LIR recipes, against a 10.0% minimum crude protein. Taurine and L-carnitine both appear as separate ingredients rather than only as part of a supplement blend. 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.
