58.7/100Good

DryAdult

A salmon-led kibble shrunk down for the smallest adults, sitting in our Good band. Salmon oil at 12% makes it an unusually oily food, which is where the 16.0% fat and the 388 kcal per 100 grams come from. Salmon is the only animal on the label.

Our view

Likely to suit

Toy and small adults, the two sizes the label is written around
Dogs kept strictly on fish
Cereal-free bowls, with potato and pea starch doing the binding
Little dogs with big engines: 388 kcal in every 100 grams against 357 for the typical adult dry food
Fussy small eaters, as brewers yeast often wins them over

Worth watching

All fish, so a dog that reacts to fish cannot have it
Easy to overfeed at that energy density, so weigh the portion
Iodine is the only trace element with a number on the label

The score, in context

Fish4Dogs Finest Salmon Toy Breed 58.7

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A competent everyday kibble: the fish-only meat and a lower carbohydrate load help, while starch in two of the top four places holds it level.

What's in it

Potato19%
Salmon meal18%Comes in dry, so it delivers more protein than its place suggests.
Pea starch18%A binder. No cereal grain anywhere.
Salmon oil12%A generous pour for a dry food, and the source of the marine omega 3.
Beet pulpGentle fibre for a small digestion.
Brewers yeastA palatant with B vitamins.
Sunflower oil, minerals

Vitamins A, D3 and E, taurine at 1 g, and iodine as calcium iodate.

Only iodine is given a number, so zinc and copper levels go unstated.
