74.6/100Excellent

Europa's salmon recipe rebalanced for an older dog, finishing in our Excellent band. The meat share holds at 65% Scottish salmon and the fat is trimmed back. Dill, spinach and fennel head a plant side that is named but never measured.

Our view

Likely to suit

Seniors with a good appetite and a waistline to watch, at fat 11%
Older dogs kept off cereal; nothing grain based is on the list
Fish eaters, with salmon the whole of the animal share
Keeping protein up with age: 35% as fed, 38.0% of dry matter
Homes feeding a senior beside an adult, since the label covers both

Worth watching

No percentages on the plant side, so how the other 35% divides up is unsaid
Salmon is the only animal, which matters where fish has caused a reaction
Energy at 352 kcal per 100g, so a busy senior may need a slightly fuller bowl

The score, in context

Scottish Salmon 74.6

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Most of the distance above the typical dry food comes from the meat, and an unquantified plant side is the one thing keeping it from going further.
