Flavour

The cereal side of the Salubrious cold-pressed shelf, and both recipes land in our Good band. Wheat and barley are named outright behind a properly named meat, which is more than many grain recipes manage. Carbohydrate runs to about half the dry matter, and that is what holds the pair where it is.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that digest cereals well. Wheat and barley are named, never hidden behind the word cereals
Dogs avoiding fish, since neither recipe carries fish or fish oil
Fast eaters: a cold-pressed pellet breaks down in water and does not expand
Households mixing ages, as both are listed for puppies, adults and seniors of every size
A dog kept to one meat, on the chicken recipe

Worth watching

Wheat in a real share of both, for a dog that has struggled with it
Cane molasses on both lists, a small amount of added sugar
No calcium figure on the chicken label, which matters for a large-breed puppy

The details

Dog fit

Listed for puppies, adults and seniors of every breed size. For a large-breed puppy, the beef recipe is the one that declares calcium; ask Salubrious about the chicken before feeding it.

The score, in context

Beef 55.5
Chicken 54.5

All two Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The two sit close together, held in place by a cereal-heavy pellet, so the choice between them is your dog's to make.

What's in it

Chicken36%The only animal on the list.
Wheat, barleyBoth carry gluten; wheat is the one to think about for a sensitive dog.
Peas
LinseedPlant omega 3 with fibre alongside.
Cane molassesAdded sugar, in a small amount.
Beet pulp, lucerne, inulin
Chicken oil, chicken gravyFat and flavour from the same bird.
Herbs: parsley, chicory, kelp, peppermint and six more
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate0.1%, 0.05%Printed on the label as chordroitin.

The fuller panel of the pair: vitamins A, D3 and E plus iodine, iron, copper, zinc, manganese and selenium, mostly in sulphate and oxide forms.

No calcium figure on the label. Ask Salubrious before a large-breed puppy eats this recipe.

Named ingredients

Chicken (36%), wheat, barley, peas, linseed, cane molasses, beet pulp, chicken oil, chicken gravy, vitamins and minerals, lucerne, prebiotic (inulin), herbs (parsley, chicory, kelp, peppermint, basil, fennel, thyme, aniseed, yucca and rosemary), glucosamine (0.1%), chordroitin sulphate (0.05%).

Against the range

Meat: Chicken 36%, the only animal; Beef 37% with an unnamed liver gravy
Additive panel: Trace elements down to selenium; Beef prints vitamins only
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 50.0%; 49.7% on the beef
Calcium: Not printed; Declared on the beef

The better pick of the pair for a dog kept to one meat.

Both recipes open with a named meat, beef at 37% or chicken at 36%, each with a matching fat, then wheat, barley, peas and linseed. Cane molasses, beet pulp, lucerne and inulin follow, and both close on the same ten named herbs and glucosamine at 0.1% with chondroitin sulphate at 0.05%.

Neither list carries fish or fish oil, unusual for Salubrious. What varies is the meat, the gravy and the additive panel: the beef prints only vitamins A, D3 and E, the chicken a full set of trace elements down to selenium.
