Our view

Likely to suit

Touchy digestion, with beet pulp and a chicory prebiotic beside the fish
Owners who want a kibble they can pick up on the weekly shop
One bag for several sizes of dog, toy through to giant
Salmon-keen dogs, with fish oil for skin and coat

Worth watching

Wheat and soya high on the list, worth knowing if a past sensitivity pointed at grains or legumes
Animal fats and digest with no species, which rules out a strict elimination diet
At 17% the salmon leaves the cereals doing most of the carrying

The score, in context

Beta Sensitive 48.5

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Cereals supplying more of the bowl than salmon, and entries that name no species, account for the gap to the typical dry food, and none of it is a danger.
