Strong Choice

This is a nutrient-dense, fish-focused dry food with added freeze-dried salmon, suitable for dogs of all life stages, including large-breed puppies. The 34% protein and 18% fat are appropriate for active dogs, and the added DHA, taurine, joint supplements, and probiotics support a variety of body systems. It’s a good option for dogs who do well on fish-based diets and can tolerate grains and peas.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Real salmon and menhaden fish meal provide high-quality, animal-based protein at a solid 34% level.
  • Formulated to meet AAFCO standards for all life stages, including growth of large-breed puppies.
  • Includes omega-3s, DHA, and taurine, which help support heart, brain, and skin and coat health.
  • Contains probiotics, prebiotics, and yeast ingredients that can support healthy digestion and gut flora.

Considerations

  • Contains peas high in the ingredient list; grain-free, legume-heavy patterns have been linked to heart concerns in some dogs.
  • Fish is a common allergen for some dogs, so this recipe would not suit dogs with fish sensitivities.
  • At about 390 calories per cup, it is quite calorie-dense, so portion control is important, especially for less active dogs.

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
Menhaden Fish
Menhaden fish is used in pet foods primarily as a high-quality animal protein and as a concentrated source of fish oil rich in omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which support healthy skin and coat, joint mobility, and anti‑inflammatory benefits for dogs and cats. It enhances palatability and provides essential micronutrients like iodine and selenium, but owners should be aware of possible fish allergies, caloric density and oil oxidation, and prefer products from reputable, sustainably sourced suppliers to reduce contamination risks.
View ingredient
03
Pork Fat
Pork fat is a concentrated animal fat commonly added to pet food to boost calorie density, palatability, and texture, serving as a primary energy source and flavor enhancer. It provides mainly saturated and monounsaturated fats and some omega‑6 fatty acids that can support energy needs and skin/coat condition, but because it is calorie‑dense and relatively low in omega‑3s, excessive inclusion can contribute to obesity or pancreatitis risk, and it should be properly rendered and preserved to avoid rancidity; some pets may also have pork sensitivities.
04
Mixed Tocopherol
Mixed tocopherols are a blend of natural vitamin E compounds (alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols) used in pet foods primarily as a natural antioxidant and preservative to protect fats and fat‑soluble nutrients and extend shelf life. They also supply dietary vitamin E—an essential antioxidant for immune function, skin and coat health and cellular integrity in dogs and cats—and are generally safe at typical use levels, though they are not a substitute for a complete vitamin formulation and may be less effective in animals with fat‑absorption disorders.
05
Grain Sorghum
Grain sorghum is a gluten-free cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate and fiber source that also contributes modest plant protein, B vitamins, and minerals, often serving as an alternative to corn or wheat. It supplies energy and dietary fiber for dogs and cats but is relatively low in certain essential amino acids (like lysine), and some tannin-containing varieties can reduce palatability and nutrient digestibility—processing and balanced formulation mitigate these issues, and sourcing should guard against mycotoxin contamination.
