Sensitive skin & stomach salmon meal & brown rice recipe
What it is Salmon meal leads the list: rendered, dried salmon, a concentrated protein. Fish meal backs it up fifth, and no chicken appears anywhere in the recipe.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Swapping chicken for fish helps a dog that reacts to chicken, and salmon meal carries some omega-3. But there's no added fish oil, and pork fat sits sixth, so this isn't a single-protein diet.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
The inulin and two probiotics that fit the stomach story sit 46th, 49th and 50th, far below the salt. Trace amounts, not a gut treatment.
