Briantos Adult Mini Grain-Free: Salmon & Potato review

Name: Briantos Adult Mini Grain-Free: Salmon & Potato
Brand: Briantos

54.6/100Good

DryAdult

A small-breed kibble with dried salmon at the front of a potato recipe, in our Good band. Dried salmon at 20% pulls more weight than fresh fish would, and carbohydrate finishes a shade under the usual for an adult kibble. Behind the salmon, though, the label leans on poultry it never names.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small breed dogs, the frame the kibble and guide are built for
Dogs kept off grain, with potatoes, sweet potato and peas for the starch
Fish-keen eaters. Dried salmon leads at 20%
A lighter starch load, 44.2% of dry matter against a typical 46.2%

Worth watching

Poultry protein and poultry fat with no bird named, so no strict elimination trial and no fish-only bowl
Cellulose mid-list, a bulking fibre that adds volume and little nourishment
