Brand: Salubrious Healthy Dog Food

59.4/100Good

Cold pressedPuppyAdult

A turkey pellet with the longest herb list Salubrious prints, twenty botanicals sharing 0.25% of the food. The joint extras are more substantial than the herbs, each printed with its percentage. The root-heavy base is the main reason it sits in our Good band, level with the typical cold-pressed food.

Worth watching

Salmon protein and salmon oil, so not fish free
Goose fat at 5% puts a second bird beside the turkey
Cane molasses brings a little added sugar, and garlic sits in the herbal blend

The score, in context

Turkey 59.4

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

No single pillar drags it down; generous extras on a starch-led base is the balance that sets the level.

Goose, egg and salmon join the turkey, so this is not a single-protein recipe.
