Salters dog food review
Salters is a small dry range built on chicken. Four recipes cover puppy, adult, energy and senior feeding, and the brand average sits in our Good band. Transparency reads Average on all four, and that pillar shapes the read here more than the food itself does.

Salters: the closer look
The range
Four dry products, one to a range. Puppy, Energy, Maintenance and Senior cover the life stages between them, with three labels for adults, one for puppies and one for seniors. Every recipe is chicken.
Ingredients
Chicken is the only protein across the four recipes. The range carries one label extra, linseed. There is no grain-free flag and no single-protein flag here, and only the Energy recipe is flagged high energy.
Nutrition
Protein as fed runs 17.0 to 29.0% and fat 10.0 to 20.0%, with energy from 344 to 395 kcal per 100g. The Energy recipe is the richest of the four. Nutritional balance reads Good on two products, Average on one and Poor on one.
Strengths
- A recipe for each life stage
- High protein and fat on Energy
- Value reads Good on two products
Limitations
- Transparency reads Average on all four
- Dry only, no wet or raw
- A small range of four products
Where it is less of a fit
- If you want detail on the label, check transparency, which reads Average on all four recipes
- If wet or raw is the current diet, check the formats, since every product here is dry
- If your dog needs a protein besides chicken, check the range list, since chicken is the only one
Score overview
The Good band read comes from value and from protein and processing, both Good on two products and Average on two. Transparency is Average on all four and holds the brand where it is. Puppy and Energy read Good, while Senior and Maintenance read Average.
The average score is the mean of each product's overall score out of 100 (using the best-scoring variety per product), not a flat average across every variety.
