Bowl Boosters Simply Shreds Flaked Tuna, Beef & Carrots Recipe in Broth
Graded by The Sniff System
Wellness Bowl Boosters Simply Shreds Flaked Tuna, Beef & Carrots Recipe is a wet food topper or mixer, featuring tuna and beef.
This recipe has a strong protein profile, with tuna as the primary ingredient for high biological value. It also includes egg, named fish, or organ meat for diverse protein sources.
The score is capped because the crude protein is 10% and moisture is 90%, meaning protein is only 2% of the dry matter. The AAFCO statement is inferred, not published.
Good fit for owners looking to add protein to their dog's meals. Less ideal as a standalone meal due to low protein density.
Summary written by The Sniff System from the data above. Same rubric, same drivers, expressed in English.
Good fit for adult Labrador Retrievers and similar active sporting breeds navigating skin allergies. The protein deck is limited to tuna and beef. 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 49/100, landing in C-tier (acceptable-with-notes). The biggest contributor was protein quality (+23 points): Strong protein profile with tuna 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).

Position 1: primary protein source. After cooking removes water, this may drop in proportional weight, but it anchors the recipe.
- 2fish broth
- 3water sufficient for processing
The regulatory phrase for cooking water in wet food. Has no nutritional implication, just labeling formality.
- 4protein animalbeef
Real meat. Dense in protein and iron. Some dogs are sensitive to it, but for most it's an excellent base.
Position 4: significant protein contributor. Adds amino-acid diversity to the top of the deck.
- 5vegetablecarrots
Real vegetable. Fiber, beta-carotene, and a small amount of antioxidant value.
Position 5: meaningful whole-food inclusion. Source of vitamins, antioxidants, or natural fiber.
