Ingredient guide

Named meal/dehydrated animal protein led

Animal protein

salmon (50%) (dehydrated salmon, hydrolysed salmon) (#1)

Plant protein

pea flour (#7)

Named dry animal protein gives a relatively clear protein source.

It can be clearer for actual protein contribution than a flashy fresh-meat label.

Species-named animal protein ingredients stay near the top, and protein does not fall into a clearly low band. The trade-off is that this is not the same as a fresh-meat-first premium pattern.

Nutritional strengths

A fish-protein lead can be worth reviewing when you are trying to avoid a specific land-meat protein.
A species-named dehydrated animal ingredient keeps the basic protein structure fairly stable.
Top ingredients do not show a prominent FDA-investigated non-hereditary DCM ingredient profile.

What still needs work

The recipe leans on dehydrated animal ingredients, so texture or palatability can feel different from a fresh-meat-led recipe.
Public data is usable, but not at the highest-trust tier.

Ingredient Analysis Comments

•salmon (50%) (dehydrated salmon, hydrolysed salmon) is a species-named dehydrated animal protein ingredient. It is distinct from rendered meal and usually supports a denser animal-protein structure. It reads as an upper-tier protein source.
•potatoes (26%) is a starchy tuber ingredient. It is not a grain, but it still reads mainly as a starch and energy source. It reads as an mid-tier carb source.
•dried apple pulp reads as a produce-side supporting ingredient. It adds a recipe-supporting role rather than acting as a core protein driver. It reads as an upper-tier carb and fiber source.

Caution ingredients

High-caution ingredients

Why processed plant proteins are reviewed cautiously

Ingredient lists are ordered by input weight, not protein contribution. Fresh meat 100g and Soybean Meal 50g can both contribute about 20g of protein, and Pea Protein can deliver a similar amount at around 30g. So these ingredients can materially lift crude protein even outside the top three. The review treats processed plant-protein boosters cautiously because they can weaken the animal-protein-centered profile most guardians expect from a high-protein food.

Broad disclosure

Safety verification

No fails

No major red flag jumps out first, though undisclosed rows still define the limits of this safety read.

Final word

As a public review, this is a strong candidate to carry forward. The next question is whether it stays this strong for your own dog.
