Salmon Oil
This is sold as a supplement, not as an everyday meal. The 1–100 rating applies to complete meals, so it isn't scored. Ingredient breakdown below.

Our verdict

Is Seven Salmon Oil a good dog food?

This is a supplement, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a supplement should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.

Complementary supplement for dogs of all life stages, with salmon oil and antioxidants as the main ingredients.

How we score

Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.

Why you might choose it

  • Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
  • Prints a percentage for nearly every ingredient, so the recipe is fully auditable.
  • Single named animal protein: fish.

Why you might not

  • A supplement, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
  • High in fat: 99% fat on a dry-matter basis.
  • Meat makes up an estimated 0% of the dry matter; carbohydrates dominate.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for all lifestages
  • Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
  • Single named protein: fish
  • Doesn't list chicken, beef, turkey, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients

Consider something else if:

  • You are limiting fat: 99.0% on a dry-matter basis is in the high band

These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.

Feeding and storage

Storage

Store in a cold dry place, out of direct sunlight. If stored at lower temperatures parts of the oil may solidify. This is a natural process that reverses when the oil is returned to an ambient temperature. Use within 12 months of opening.

Final score

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.

This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.

Score history across model versions

The score shown above is always computed with the latest published model. Earlier scores are kept for the record and are never edited or deleted; a scoring change ships as a new model version with a public write-up on the methodology page.

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges

Not applicable to complementary food. FEDIAF reference ranges apply to complete diets.

Transparency: what the label discloses

How much the manufacturer discloses, measured against the FEDIAF Code of Good Labelling Practice and Regulation 767/2009. Mandatory items dominate the weighting.

Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Analytical constituents declared, Feeding guidance given, Batch and date labelling).

Safety: recall history

Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.

No recalls recorded in our database.

See all current recalls we track.

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it

The claims made on the pack and product page, checked against the declared label. We record claims as stated; "consistent" means our stored label data supports the claim, "contradicted" means it conflicts with it. Functional claims are recorded but never scored.

Claims on file; none we can check against the label
