Within Adult & Senior Dry Salmon review

Name: Within Adult & Senior Dry Salmon

DryAdultSenior

A dry food kept on one fish from top to bottom, and it lands in our Average band. Starch is what holds it there. For a dog whose list needs to stay short and legible it is an unusually easy one to read.

Our view

Likely to suit

An exclusion plan around meat, with no animal but salmon named
Dogs kept away from poultry. The added fat is rapeseed oil
Stiffening joints: glucosamine and MSM at 0.034% each, chondroitin at 0.024%
Coat condition, with omega 3 from the fish and its oil
One bag for an older dog and an adult

Worth watching

Whole oats at 25%, so it is not grain free
Potato protein at 7.5% and pea protein at 2.5%, so not all the protein is fish
No source given for the glucosamine and chondroitin, if you are strict about shellfish

The score, in context

Within Adult & Senior Dry Salmon 49.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

One named fish counts for a great deal, and the starch and plant proteins behind it are the compromise that sets it a step below the shelf.

What's in it

Freshly prepared salmon26%Fresh means water, and much of it leaves in the oven. Fish protein is easy to digest.
Whole oats25%Digest easily once cooked and bring fibre.
