78.4/100Excellent

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs kept off land meats altogether. Salmon, herring, trout and haddock are the only animals
Itchy dogs trying a protein family a chicken-raised dog has rarely met
Joints that have started to matter, with glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin doses printed
One bag for puppies, adults and seniors
A lighter starch load: carbohydrate is estimated at 29.3% of dry matter

Worth watching

No help to a dog that reacts to fish itself, which happens in dogs raised on salmon kibble
Tapioca high on the list, there to bind the biscuit
Fish fats oxidise faster than most, so keep the bag sealed and finish it at a sensible pace
