Autarky Adult Dry Succulent Salmon review

Name: Autarky Adult Dry Succulent Salmon
Brand: Autarky

51.6/100Good

DryAdult

A salmon kibble in our Good band, level with the typical adult dry food. Salmon is guaranteed at a 35% minimum and rice at 33%, then comes the long run of herbs and vegetables Autarky is known for. Chicken fat and poultry meal also sit on the label, so this is salmon-led and not fish only.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do better on fish than on poultry
Itchy or dull coats. Salmon and linseed both bring omega 3
Owners who want the grain named and given a minimum
Sporting and country homes after a sensible everyday kibble

Worth watching

Chicken fat and poultry meal, so a dog kept off birds is not off them here
Maize gluten mid-list, a plant protein a sensitive dog may find harder work than the fish

What's in it

Salmonmin 35%A generous headline. If it goes in fresh, much of that weight is water lost in cooking.
Ricemin 33%
Whole oats, maizeThe rest of the cereal backbone. Carbohydrate is estimated at 49.4% of dry matter.
Chicken fat, poultry mealThe meal holds finished protein at 26.1% of dry matter. Both put birds on the label, and the meal names no species.
LinseedPlant omega 3.
Yeast (source of mannan oligosaccharides)A prebiotic for the gut.
Maize glutenPlant protein, which suits dogs less well than meat protein.
Alfalfa, minerals, peas
Unmolassed sugar beet, seaweedWell-behaved fibre with the sugar stripped out.
Herbs and vegetables, milk thistle to oreganomin 0.4% herbs, 4% vegetablesThe brand's signature. Pleasant, but the salmon and rice are the real story.
