Canidae Pure Sea review

Name: Canidae Pure Sea
Brand: Canidae

65/100Good

DryAdultSenior

A nine-entry kibble that keeps its named animal content entirely to fish, and it earns a place in our Good band. Three fish entries at 16% each do the work, with sweet potatoes and peas beside them. Canola oil carries the fat, so there is no poultry fat on the label.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that itch or grumble on chicken and the other land meats
Owners after brevity: nine entries cover the whole recipe
Adult and senior dogs of any build
Skin and coats that do well on oily fish
Grain-free households, as no grain appears at all

Worth watching

Fish meal with no species named, and a gravy that names no animal, so a formal elimination trial needs tighter labelling
A confident aroma, which dogs usually rate more highly than the humans filling the bowl
