AAFCO: Zignature Select Cuts Puppy for dogs is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for growth, including growth of large size dogs (70 lbs. or more as an adult). Lamb is the first ingredient.

This puppy formula opens with lamb, followed by whitefish and whitefish meal, then oats, barley and millet supplying the grain component the product name references, by pre cooking weight. It differs from the rest of the brand's Original line, which is formulated without grain, by building on these whole grains along with turkey fat, turkey meal, pork meal and goat milk. The AAFCO statement covers growth, including growth of large size dogs, 70 pounds or more as an adult, so the manufacturer positions it as suitable for puppies of any expected adult size. The guaranteed minimum fat of 18.00 percent and guaranteed EPA plus DHA of 0.16 percent are both the highest published for any Zignature recipe read for this library entry, consistent with the higher energy needs of growth. The manufacturer's published energy content is 3,870 kcal per kilogram, or 416 kcal per cup. Sniff and Shift makes single ingredient freeze dried treats, which are treats rather than meals, and they pair with any complete diet on this list.
