Highlighted Reviews

— Jamie

"We transitioned to the salmon food when my dogs allergies started flaring up. It does not have a very fishy smell as others have commented. All allergies have subsided so the food has either helped or it was coincidence and we got through that bad time of year."

— Billie

"I thought I would try a different dog food due to my dogs allergies. This is the 3rd brand I've tried. She does not like it. And its not helping with her allergies or skin issues."

Bottom Line

This dry dog food is a decent option for most dogs, but pet owners should be aware of the potential allergy issues and fishy breath side-effect. Not suitable for all dogs with allergies.
