65.1/100Good
DryAdult
A Good salmon kibble for the dog who inspects a bowl before walking over to it. Salmon is the whole animal side at 50%, with another 5% poured in as salmon oil, and that is where the strong smell comes from. Sweet potato and tapioca carry the starch.

Our view
Likely to suit
- Reluctant eaters; salmon and the oil make a kibble a dog can smell from the next room
- A genuine single animal trial, salmon being the only animal on the list
- Dogs kept off chicken, beef and lamb
- Grain-free homes
- Dull coats, with marine omega 3 from both the fish and the oil
Worth watching
- Protein at a gentle 22.0%, so a hard working dog may want something meatier
- Carbohydrate estimated at 53.2% of dry matter, above the 46.2% typical
- Fish from top to bottom, no use for a dog that has reacted to it

The score, in context
- Cooper & Co Fussy 65.1
All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.
One species, every part of it with a percentage and nothing taken on trust; only the starch keeps it from sitting higher.
What's in it
- Salmon: freshly prepared, dried, gravy50% (36%, 12%, 2%)The dried 12% does much of the protein work once the water is cooked out.
- Sweet potatoFibre and pigment with the starch.
- TapiocaClose to pure starch from the cassava root.
- Beet pulpThe fermentable fibre.
- Salmon oil5%Long-chain omega 3, and the reason for the smell.
- Brewers yeastB vitamins.
- Minerals, vitaminsHeadings only, no doses.
- Dried spinach, fennel
- Fructooligosaccharides, mannanoligosaccharidesAt 95 and 25 mg per kilo, a gentle nudge to the gut flora.
