Fish Dinner Petmix Dehydrated Dog Food

Verified Jun 20, 2026

Dog · Dry Adult All Breed Sizes

This is a high-protein, dehydrated fish-based dog food that you rehydrate with warm water to create a soft, flaky meal. It uses wild-caught salmon and whitefish along with whole eggs, chickpea and oat flours, and a mix of fruits and vegetables. It’s designed for adult dogs, particularly those avoiding poultry, whose owners prefer a fish-focused, minimally processed dry option.

KibbleLab Score
8.4 out of 10

Nutritionally, this is a high-protein, moderate-fat dehydrated food with named fish and whole eggs as key animal protein sources. The added chickpea and oat flours, fruits, vegetables, and kelp contribute fiber and micronutrients, and the calorie density is similar to many premium dry foods. It can be a good fit for adult dogs who do well on fish-based diets and for owners who like to add warm water to serve a softer, home-cooked–style meal.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • High protein level (about 38.5% as fed) from named animal sources including wild-caught whitefish, salmon, and whole eggs, which generally support good amino acid balance.
  • Uses identifiable ingredients with chickpea and oat flour as primary carbohydrates, plus fruits, vegetables, and kelp that can add natural vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
  • Dehydrated format that you rehydrate with water can be appealing for dogs that prefer softer meals and may encourage good water intake at mealtime.
  • Fish-based formula without poultry, which can be helpful for dogs that need to avoid chicken or other poultry proteins.

Considerations

  • Contains fish and egg, which are common allergens for some dogs, so it’s not suitable if your dog has known sensitivities to those proteins.
  • Chickpea flour is fairly high in the ingredient list; for dogs with heart disease risk factors, some veterinarians prefer avoiding legume-forward diets until we understand more about their relationship with heart health.
  • At 378 kcal per cup, it’s relatively calorie-dense, so portion control is important, especially for dogs prone to weight gain.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Whole Egg
Whole egg is a highly digestible, nutrient-dense ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods as a complete protein and source of healthy fats, essential amino acids, fat‑soluble vitamins (A, D), B vitamins including B12 and choline, and other micronutrients. It enhances palatability and supports muscle, skin and coat health, but should be cooked to reduce salmonella risk and deactivate avidin in raw egg white (which can impair biotin absorption if fed frequently), and may be allergenic or calorie-dense for some pets.
02
Whitefish
Whitefish (such as pollock, cod, or haddock) is commonly used in pet foods as a lean animal protein source that provides high‑quality essential amino acids, good digestibility, and some omega‑3 fatty acids to support skin, coat and muscle maintenance. While generally palatable and useful for weight‑managed formulas, pet parents should be aware of potential fish allergies and the importance of responsible sourcing and processing to minimize contaminants; cats also require adequate dietary taurine, so whitefish should be part of a complete, balanced diet.
03
Chickpea Flour
Chickpea flour is a ground pulse used in pet foods as a plant‑based source of protein, digestible carbohydrates and both soluble and insoluble fiber, along with micronutrients such as folate and iron, and is often included in grain‑free or wheat‑free formulations. It can provide beneficial fiber and moderate protein for dogs but is less appropriate as a primary protein for obligate‑carnivore cats; pulses can cause digestive sensitivity in some pets, contain antinutrients that are reduced by processing, and high levels of legume ingredients have been investigated for a possible association with canine dilated cardiomyopathy, so choose balanced, veterinarian‑approved diets for pets with special needs.
04
Oat Flour
Oat flour is used in pet food mainly as a carbohydrate source and binder that contributes soluble fiber (including beta‑glucans), modest protein, and B vitamins and minerals. It can help support digestive health and stool quality in dogs and is generally safe for cats in small amounts, but it is calorie‑dense so shouldn’t dominate diets for obligate carnivores and pets with grain sensitivities should be monitored for rare oat allergy or cross‑contamination with gluten‑containing grains.
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.
