Strong Choice
This is a high-quality, salmon-focused dry food that is complete and balanced for all life stages, including large-breed growth, which is an important safety point for puppies expected to reach over 70 lb as adults. The protein and fat levels are moderate, which can work well for many family dogs, and the added omega fatty acids, probiotics, and taurine are nice nutritional touches. It’s a good everyday option for dogs who do well on fish-based diets and whose owners are especially mindful of skin and coat support.

Strengths
- Salmon meal and deboned salmon provide named, animal-based protein sources, with a reasonable overall protein level for an all-life-stages formula.
- Meets AAFCO nutrient profiles by formulation for all life stages, including growth of large-breed dogs, which is critical for safe large-breed puppy feeding.
- Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids from salmon, canola oil, and flaxseed to support skin and coat health.
- Contains added probiotics (Lactobacillus and Enterococcus), chicory root (a prebiotic fiber), and taurine, which can help support digestive and overall health.
Considerations
- Primary carbohydrates come from grains (oatmeal, whole oats) and potatoes; while fine for most dogs, those needing a very low-carbohydrate diet might need a different profile.
- Salmon and fish ingredients are common food allergens for some dogs, so this may not be suitable for dogs with known fish allergies.
- Moderate fat (12% min) and calorie density (about 427 kcal per cup) may be higher than ideal for dogs needing strict weight control, so portions should be measured carefully.

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
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble fiber (notably beta‑glucans), serving as a gentle filler or binder that can support healthy digestion and steady energy release. It provides B vitamins and minerals, is generally well tolerated by dogs and many cats when cooked and plain, but should be free of added sugars or flavorings and used cautiously for overweight or diabetic pets or animals with individual grain sensitivities.
03
Potato
Potato is commonly used in pet foods as a digestible carbohydrate source and functional binder, supplying starch, fiber, and modest amounts of vitamins (B6, C) and potassium—often included as cooked or dehydrated flakes, starch, or protein concentrates. While it provides energy and helps formulate grain‑free recipes, potatoes are not a primary protein for dogs or cats (and are not nutritionally required for obligate‑carnivore cats), can contribute to excess calories or affect blood glucose in diabetic animals, and must be cooked and free of green skins or sprouts to avoid solanine toxicity; allergies are uncommon but possible.

04
Whole Grain Oat
Whole Grain Oat is used in pet foods primarily as a digestible carbohydrate and source of soluble and insoluble fiber—especially beta‑glucans—that support healthy digestion and can help moderate post‑meal blood sugar and lipid levels. It also provides modest protein, B‑vitamins and minerals, is generally well tolerated by dogs (cats require far fewer carbs), but should be fed in appropriate amounts for weight or diabetic pets and may pose an issue for animals with grain sensitivities unless certified gluten‑free and properly processed for digestibility.
05
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.
