76.6/100Excellent

DryAdult

The brand's salmon recipe rebuilt for a dog that needs to carry less, and it reaches our Excellent band. The 65% salmon stays, fat drops to 11.0% and protein climbs to 35.0%, with no cereal anywhere. L-carnitine, a joint pack and two prebiotics are all printed with their doses.

Our view

Likely to suit

A dog on a diet that still needs real protein: 35.0% declared, fat at 11.0%
Heavier dogs, with L-carnitine dosed at 240 mg
Joints carrying extra weight. Glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 180 mg/kg each, chondroitin at 125 mg/kg
Grain-free homes; the plant side is sweet potato, beans and beet pulp
Fish eaters, with salmon the one named animal

Worth watching

An omega 3 supplement with no source named, the one thing stopping a salmon-only reading
Calcium at 1.85% of dry matter, a fair share of bone in the dried salmon
A light recipe only works if the scoop shrinks too

The score, in context

Scottish Salmon 76.6

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Light foods usually fill the gap left by fat with cereal; this one fills it with salmon, and that is why it scores where it does.

What's in it

Salmon: freshly prepared Scottish salmon, dried salmon, salmon oil, salmon gravy65% (35%, 24.5%, 3%, 2.5%)The 24.5% dried share is what carries the finished kibble, and it is a substantial figure.
Sweet potato, beansThe whole starch side. No cereal.
Beet pulpFibre, to help a hungry dog feel settled.
Dried superfood blend: dill, spinach, fennel, asparagus, tomatoLow on the list, so seasoning.
Minerals
Omega 3 supplementSource not named.
Joint pack: glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane, chondroitin180, 180, 125 mg/kgSensible on a diet food. Heavy dogs are often the ones with sore joints.
Fructooligosaccharides, mannanoligosaccharides175 mg/kg, 50 mg/kgTwo prebiotics, dosed.
Olive extract0.01%

L-carnitine at 240 mg to help move fat to where it is burned, with zinc, iron, manganese and iodine declared one by one.

The omega 3 supplement has no source named, so the label cannot be read as strictly salmon only.
