In plain English

Wellness Bowl Boosters Simply Shreds Flaked Wild Salmon & Tuna Recipe is a wet food topper featuring flaked salmon and tuna in broth.

This topper boasts a strong protein profile with salmon as the primary ingredient, offering high biological value. It also includes tuna and fish broth for added protein diversity.

The score is capped due to the crude protein and crude fat percentages being at the minimums required by AAFCO for this type of food.

Good fit for owners looking to add a protein boost to their dog's meals. Less ideal if you need a complete and balanced meal.

Summary written by The Sniff System from the data above. Same rubric, same drivers, expressed in English.

Who this is for

Good fit for active large sporting breeds, including the Labrador Retriever, navigating skin allergies. The protein deck is limited to salmon and tuna. 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. Zinc is essential for skin immunity and healing; the NRC (2006) established a recommended allowance of 20 mg of zinc per 1000 kcal ME for adult dogs at maintenance  (NRC, 2006) .

Looking at this for adult Labrador Retrievers or Labrador Retrievers with skin allergies ? We are building dedicated pages for these combinations.

Why this score

Sniff scored this formula 49/100, landing in C-tier (acceptable-with-notes). The biggest contributor was protein quality (+23.5 points): Strong protein profile with salmon as the primary ingredient, delivering high biological value. A hard cap of 49 also applied because the guaranteed analysis falls below AAFCO's minimum nutrient profile. If a formula update that meets AAFCO minimums were on the label, the cap would lift and this formula could clear the B-band threshold (60).

  1. 1
    salmon

    Real fish meat. Natural source of omega-3s, which kibble usually has to add back from oil.

    Position 1: primary protein source. After cooking removes water, this may drop in proportional weight, but it anchors the recipe.

  2. 2
    fish broth
  3. 3
    water sufficient for processing

    The regulatory phrase for cooking water in wet food. Has no nutritional implication, just labeling formality.

  4. 4
    tuna

    Position 4: significant protein contributor. Adds amino-acid diversity to the top of the deck.
