Our read The ingredients
All fish protein, but hardly a limited recipe
Signature feature
L.I.D.
Limited ingredient diet with salmon first
What it is A promise of a short recipe built around one protein. Salmon does lead, but 25 ingredients sit above the salt, including oatmeal, garbanzo beans, millet and alfalfa.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
A short list matters in an elimination trial, where every extra plant is one more suspect. Twenty-five ingredients before the salt is an ordinary kibble's length, so the label promises a simplicity the recipe doesn't keep.
Marketing The claim outruns anything in the recipe.
Every named animal ingredient is fish, from salmon first to salmon oil 13th. No chicken, beef or poultry fat appears by name.
- 1 Salmon
- 2 Salmon Meal
