Sensitive Skin & Stomach Salmon Meal & Brown Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food
Verified May 20, 2026
This is a dry all-life-stages dog food designed for dogs with sensitive skin or digestive issues, using salmon meal and fish meal as the primary animal protein sources. Brown rice, sorghum, and millet provide digestible carbohydrates, while added omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, and taurine support overall nutrition. Probiotics, prebiotic fibers, and yeast-based ingredients are included to help support a healthy gut microbiome.
Nutritionally, this is a solid all-life-stages formula that can work well for many dogs, including large-breed puppies, especially those who need to avoid chicken, corn, gluten, or soy. The salmon and fish meals provide the majority of the protein, and the fat and calorie levels are moderate, which suits many pets for everyday feeding. Added omega fatty acids, taurine, and probiotics are nice extras for skin, coat, and digestive support.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Salmon meal and fish meal as primary protein sources, with 78% of the protein reportedly coming from these animal ingredients, providing good-quality, highly digestible protein.
- Formulated for all life stages, including growth of large-breed dogs, which is an important safety point for owners of large and giant breed puppies.
- Moderate protein (26%) and fat (14%) levels and reasonable calorie density, making it a good fit for many average-activity dogs and easier to manage weight than very high-fat formulas.
- Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, taurine, probiotics, and prebiotic fibers (inulin, yeast culture) to support skin, coat, and digestive health.
Considerations
- Contains fish-based proteins, so it would not be appropriate for dogs with fish allergies or intolerances.
- While it avoids chicken, corn, gluten, and soy, it does use multiple grains (brown rice, sorghum, millet), which may not fit owners specifically seeking grain-free diets for medical reasons advised by their vet.
- Calorie density is moderately high at about 363 kcal per cup, so portion control is important for dogs prone to weight gain.

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
Brown Rice
Brown rice is a whole-grain carbohydrate and fiber ingredient commonly used in dog and cat foods to provide digestible energy, dietary fiber, and modest amounts of B‑vitamins and minerals; it typically offers more nutrients and fiber than white rice. It’s generally well tolerated and can help with sensitive stomachs, but because it is high in carbohydrates (not a primary protein source) and can contain trace inorganic arsenic depending on sourcing, it should be included in balanced formulations and monitored in overweight or diabetic pets.
03
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.
04
Millet
Millet is a small, gluten-free cereal grain used in pet foods primarily as a carbohydrate and fiber source that also contributes modest amounts of protein, B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. It is generally well tolerated by dogs and may be used in some cat recipes, but because cats are obligate carnivores and millet is relatively high in carbohydrates and contains phytic acid (an anti‑nutrient), it is usually cooked/processed for better digestibility and should be part of a formula that meets species‑specific protein and taurine needs; pets with specific grain sensitivities may still react, so consult your veterinarian if concerned.
05
Fish
Fish is commonly used in pet foods as a highly digestible animal protein and an excellent source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that support skin and coat health, joint function, and cognitive development in both dogs and cats. It also supplies B vitamins and minerals but can be a common allergen, may contain environmental contaminants or mercury depending on species and sourcing, and raw fish can contain thiaminase—so choose properly processed, nutritionally balanced, and sustainably sourced fish ingredients.
