Wally's Salmon N' Rice Wet Dog Food

Verified Aug 22, 2026

Dog · Wet All Life Stages All Breed Sizes

A gently cooked, wet salmon and rice recipe designed to be used as a rotational meal, topper, mixer, or soft treat for dogs of all ages. It features salmon and egg as the main animal protein sources, with brown rice, peas, carrots, and spinach providing carbohydrates and fiber. The moderate fat level and simple ingredient list can work well for many dogs who enjoy a softer, more palatable option alongside their regular balanced diet.

KibbleLab Score
6.7 out of 10

Worth a Conversation

Nutritionally, this is a high‑protein, moderate‑fat wet food on a dry‑matter basis, with salmon and eggs providing high‑quality, highly digestible protein and omega‑3 fats. The ingredients are straightforward and limited, which some dogs with simple dietary sensitivities may do well on. However, the manufacturer clearly states it is for intermittent or supplemental feeding, so it should not be used as the sole, complete diet long term but rather as an add‑on to a balanced dog food.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Salmon and eggs supply high‑quality animal protein and naturally occurring omega‑3 fatty acids that support skin, coat, and overall health.
  • Dry‑matter protein (about 46%) and fat (about 25%) are robust for a wet formula, providing good nutrient density when used alongside a balanced base diet.
  • Relatively short, simple ingredient list with recognizable foods like carrots, peas, brown rice, and spinach, which may suit dogs that do better on fewer ingredients.
  • Gently cooked, wet texture can be very helpful for picky eaters, seniors, or dogs who need softer food, especially when used as a topper or mixer.

Considerations

  • Clearly labeled for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, so it should not be the sole source of nutrition; it needs to be paired with a complete and balanced dog food.
  • Contains peas, which are fine for many dogs but are part of the legume group that has been scrutinized in some grain‑free diets; this is less concerning here since rice is also present and it is meant as a supplement, not a full diet.
  • Includes common protein allergens (salmon/fish and eggs), so it would not be appropriate for dogs with known fish or egg allergies.
  • Sea salt is included; while typical amounts in commercial foods are generally safe, dogs on strict sodium‑restricted plans should only use this under veterinary guidance.

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
Carrot
Carrot is used in pet foods as a vegetable ingredient providing fiber, moisture, texture and antioxidant nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a provitamin A), vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium, contributing to palatability and digestive bulk. Cooked carrots are more digestible and release more beta‑carotene, but cats cannot efficiently convert beta‑carotene to active vitamin A so carrots are more nutritionally useful for dogs than as a primary vitamin A source for cats; they should be fed in moderation due to natural sugars and should be offered in appropriately sized pieces to avoid choking.

03
Pea
Pea is a plant-based ingredient used in pet foods as a source of protein, soluble and insoluble fiber, and micronutrients (often included as whole peas, pea flour, or pea protein concentrate) to boost protein content and improve texture. While peas can provide digestible carbohydrates, fiber, and some plant protein useful especially for dogs, they are not a complete protein for obligate carnivores like cats and — when overused, particularly in concentrated forms or as a major component of grain‑free diets — have been scrutinized for a possible association with canine dilated cardiomyopathy and can contribute to nutrient imbalances or excess calories, so balanced formulation and compliance with AAFCO nutritional profiles are important.

04
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.
05
Spinach
Spinach is used in pet foods as a leafy vegetable to provide fiber, moisture, and micronutrients such as vitamins A, C and K, folate, iron and antioxidant compounds, but it is not a primary protein source. While it can add low‑calorie nutrients and antioxidants to a dog or cat’s diet, spinach is high in oxalates (and can contain nitrates) which in large amounts may reduce mineral absorption or contribute to urinary/kidney issues in susceptible animals, so it should be fed in moderation and pets with specific health concerns should consult their veterinarian.
