Carnilove Grain Free Potato Free Salmon Adult Dog Food 1.5kg Dry Formula

Carnilove Salmon Grain-Free Adult Dry Dog Food – 1.5kg

The fish recipe in the dry range, and the one to reach for when omega 3 is the reason you are shopping: it declares 0.7% omega 3, more than double the 0.33% in the duck and pheasant kibble. Salmon comes in three forms — 25% salmon meal, 20% hydrolysed salmon and 3% salmon oil — with hydrolysed protein being the most readily digested form of the three.

It is also the leanest of the dry foods here at 16% fat against 18% for both others, and the only one carrying added taurine at 1,500mg per kilogram. The 1.5kg bag suits a small dog or a first trial. Be clear what it is not, though: herring meal at 10%, chicken fat at 9% and chicken liver at 3% mean this is not a fish-only or chicken-free diet.

Performance & Benefits

• 0.7% omega 3, the highest of the Carnilove dry foods we list.
• Salmon in three forms: 25% salmon meal, 20% hydrolysed salmon and 3% salmon oil.
• 16% crude fat, the leanest of the three dry recipes here, at 33% protein.
• 1,500mg taurine per kilogram — the only dry recipe of the three with taurine added.
• Glucosamine, chondroitin, brewer's yeast and chicory root for joints and gut.
• 3,800 kcal/kg. Grain-free and potato-free, with 70% wild-origin meats.

Suitable For

• Adult dogs of all breeds.
• Dogs with dry, flaky skin or a dull coat, for the omega 3.
• Dogs that need a moderately lean everyday kibble.
• Small dogs or trial feeding, where 1.5kg is the right quantity.
• Not a fish-only diet and not chicken-free — herring meal, chicken fat and chicken liver are all present, so a dog on a strict single-protein fish trial needs a prescription diet rather than this.
