What goes into these chicken and whole grain clusters

Chicken is listed first on the ingredient panel, and chicken liver appears further down the same list.

The full panel runs through flaxseed, eggs, coconut oil, fish oil, taurine and a vitamin and mineral mix.

The brand states that the food contains no meat meals and no feed grade or by-products. It is also formulated without GMO ingredients, corn, wheat, soy and artificial preservatives, colours or flavours, and the manufacturer describes the ingredients as human grade and minimally processed.

Bite-sized clusters for meals, toppers and training

• The kibble comes as bite-sized clusters, which is the shape the brand gives for this recipe.
• A bag of these clusters can serve as a complete daily meal on its own.
• The same clusters can be scattered over wet dog food as a topper.
• The manufacturer also lists them as training treats, and training is the specific use named for this bag.
• One 4 lb bag holds about 8 servings for a dog weighing 30 lb.

How much to feed a dog

Portion size depends on the dog's size, age and activity level, so the amount per meal is set by those three things rather than by a single figure. The 8-serving estimate covers a 30 lb dog on a 4 lb bag. The manufacturer's feeding directions on the bag give the amounts to follow.
