Flavour

A fish range in the fullest sense, with no land animal across the three recipes and salmon in every bag. All three sit in our Good band, and each is pointed at the dog that thrives on fish. Grain stays out altogether.

The score, in context

Sardine 64.2
Salmon 54.5
White Fish 51.7

All three Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The sardine's bigger share of dried salmon meal puts it ahead; all three are honest about what they contain.

What's in it

Sardine26%An oily fish.
Salmon meal22%The biggest dried fish share of the three.
Sweet potato20%
Pea starchThe refined part of the pea, there to bind.
Beet pulp
Salmon oil6%
Brewers yeast, sunflower oil
Minerals

Taurine at 1 g per kilo with vitamins A, D3 and E and iodine, preserved with tocopherol-rich extracts.

Salmon meal and salmon oil are in this bag too, so it is not a single-species fish recipe.

Named ingredients

Sardine (26%), Salmon Meal (22%), Sweet Potato (20%), Pea Starch, Beet Pulp, Salmon Oil (6%), Brewers Yeast, Sunflower Oil, Minerals.

Against the range

Salmon meal: 22%; 12% on the other two.
Fat, dry matter: 17.1%; 13.0% on the other two.
Energy: 380 kcal per 100 grams; 367 on the other two.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 43.5%; 47.8% on the other two.

The richest bag, for a dog needing condition put back on.

Fish leads every recipe by name and percentage, and no land animal appears anywhere in the range. Salmon runs through all three as meal, oil or both, so none is a single-species diet. Potato or sweet potato does the carrying with pea starch behind, beet pulp for fibre, brewers yeast and sunflower oil.

Taurine is dosed at 1 g per kilo, and iodine is the only trace element with a figure. Moisture is not declared, so the dry matter figures assume 8%.
