Raw Dog Food Salmon Edmonton
Oct 14, 2024
Salmon is a fish-based raw protein rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Here is how it fits into a raw feeding rotation and what Edmonton dog owners should know.
Salmon is one of the few fish proteins available in a raw dog food format, and it is a popular choice among raw feeders who want to include a fish-based option in their dog's rotation.
Salmon is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which makes it nutritionally distinct from land-based proteins like beef, bison, and chicken. Many raw feeders include fish proteins like salmon as a rotation option specifically because of this different nutritional profile. For guidance on building a rotation that includes salmon, see our post on how to rotate proteins in raw dog food.
The Hound and Bone Salmon Blend Tube is made from 100 percent whole ground salmon including salmon organs. It is one of the simplest single-ingredient formulas in the lineup, making it easy to evaluate and suitable for dogs whose owners want a pure fish protein without additional components.
Salmon works well as a weekly rotation protein alongside beef, bison, or chicken. Some owners feed salmon once or twice a week as part of a broader rotation, while others feed it more regularly as a primary protein.
Because it is a fish-based protein, salmon has a distinctive smell that most dogs find very appealing. It is also worth considering for dogs with joint concerns — see our post on raw dog food for dogs with joint issues for context on how omega-rich proteins fit into that picture.
Salmon is one of the higher-priced proteins in the Hound and Bone range given the cost of sourcing quality whole salmon. A 40LB box of the Salmon Blend Tube is priced at $184.00, reflecting this. Individual 1LB tubes are available through the bundle builder for owners who want to include salmon as an occasional addition without committing to a full box.
Hound and Bone delivers salmon raw dog food across Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, Leduc, Spruce Grove, and Stony Plain. Shop the Salmon Blend Tube and free delivery applies on orders over $120.
