That's It! Wild Salmon Grain-Free Canned Dog Food, 12.8-oz, case of 12
Graded by The Sniff System
PetKind That's It! Wild Salmon Grain-Free Canned Dog Food is a wet food featuring salmon as its primary protein source.
This wet food offers reasonable protein quality, with salmon providing solid amino acid coverage. It also includes quality carbohydrate sources with declared fiber, and the formula benefits from diverse, high-bioavailability protein sources.
The main thing to watch here is the lack of an AAFCO statement, which means the nutritional completeness of this food is unverified. This absence capped its overall score.
Good fit for adult dogs who enjoy a salmon-based wet food. Less ideal if you prefer foods with verified nutritional completeness.
Summary written by The Sniff System from the data above. Same rubric, same drivers, expressed in English.
Good fit for active large sporting breeds like Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and English Setters navigating skin allergies. The protein deck is built around a single species (salmon). For Labrador Retrievers with suspected cutaneous adverse food reactions, a strict elimination diet trial must last a minimum of 8 weeks to reliably diagnose or rule out a food-based trigger. The National Research Council (2006) recommends a minimum of 2.6 grams of linoleic acid (an omega-6) per 1000 kcal of metabolizable energy to maintain skin barrier function in adult dogs (NRC, 2006) .

Sniff scored this formula 55/100, landing in C-tier (acceptable-with-notes). The biggest contributor was protein quality (+14.5 points): Reasonable protein quality. salmon delivers solid amino acid coverage. A hard cap of 59 also applied because the AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement isn't disclosed on the retailer page (so our methodology can't verify the formula meets adult, growth, or all-life-stages standards). Even without the cap, the base component scores sit below the next band. The structural fix would need to address AAFCO compliance as well.
