Simple Replacement Salmon Supplement
Verified Jun 11, 2026
This is a freeze-dried salmon and white rice supplement designed as a bland, easy-to-digest option for dogs and cats with sensitive or upset stomachs. It provides a relatively high level of animal-based protein from salmon, with white rice as a gentle carbohydrate source. It’s intended to be rehydrated into a stew-like consistency and used alongside your veterinarian’s guidance rather than as a sole long-term diet.
Nutritionally, this is a simple, high-protein salmon and rice formula aimed at supporting dogs and cats during periods of digestive upset. The very short ingredient list is helpful for sensitive stomachs or when you need a fairly bland, predictable food component. It works best as a temporary or supplemental option under veterinary guidance, not as the only food long term unless your vet specifically directs otherwise.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Very limited ingredient list (just freeze-dried salmon and white rice), which can be gentler on sensitive digestive systems and makes it easy to understand what you’re feeding.
- High protein and moderate fat levels for a freeze-dried product, with salmon providing high-quality, animal-based amino acids and omega-3 fats.
- Freeze-dried format helps preserve nutrients and rehydrates into a soft, stew-like texture that many nauseous or recovering pets tolerate better.
- Suitable for both dogs and cats, which can be convenient in multi-pet households when a bland, simple option is needed.
Considerations
- This is marketed as a supplement and bland diet support, not a clearly labeled complete and balanced everyday diet, so it should be used under your veterinarian’s direction and typically not as the sole long-term food unless advised.
- Salmon is a common animal protein; if your pet has a fish allergy, this product would not be appropriate.
- At 370 kcal per cup rehydrated, portion control is important, especially for smaller or less active pets, to avoid overfeeding during recovery.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.
02
White Rice
White rice is a highly digestible carbohydrate commonly used in pet foods as an energy source, binder or filler and is often included in bland diets to help manage gastrointestinal upset. It supplies readily available calories but contains little protein, fat, fiber or micronutrients (so complete diets must be balanced), and should be used judiciously in overweight or diabetic pets due to its high glycemic index; prolonged exclusive feeding is not recommended.
