73.7/100Excellent

WetAdult

Salmon at 70% of the tin, then a deliberately short list with no cereal anywhere, in our Excellent band. Take the moisture out and few wet foods run richer: fat converts to 45.5% of dry matter. A modest serving goes a long way.

Our view

Likely to suit

Easily upset digestion, on a short, cereal-free list
A printed share. Salmon is declared at 70%
Dogs that do best on fish, with no poultry or red meat
Calories in a modest serving, around 145 kcal in every 100g
Poor drinkers, as close to three quarters of the tin is moisture

Worth watching

Krill meal and green lipped mussel are shellfish, so this is not strictly single source for an elimination trial
A rich recipe. Measure the portion for a dog that gains weight easily
The feeding table repeats the same range for the 12kg to 25kg and 25kg to 45kg bands

The score, in context

Atlantic Salmon 73.7

All one Excellent. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Salmon at 70% with no cereal behind it lifts the ingredient side, and how rich the recipe runs is the brake on nutrition.
