Product Information

Purine is an organic compound found in human cells and many different foods. It is an important component in the body, which plays a key part in the formation of DNA. However, sometimes irregular processing of it can lead to the formation of stones in the urinary tract. How are urine stones produced? The more the salmon’s body bends, the less fresh it is. Take the salmon and grab it with one hand, putting your hand under the middle of its body. If the body bends a lot, then it is not fresh. However, if the body stays quite stiff, then the salmon is fresh. Before you learn how to skin salmon, let’s take a look at how you would recognize if a salmon is fresh. Salmon provides a source of essential omega-3, which supports immune function, as well as joint and skin health, while having anti-inflammatory properties

Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements. Place the fish skin-side down on the board. Grab your knife and make an incision at the tail end of the salmon. Drag your knife along the entire length of the fish, removing the skin from the flesh. The nutrients contained in salmon skin can also protect against heart disease and macular degeneration. Symptoms of stone formation can include blood in the urine and strain when passing, which if left untreated this can lead to obstruction and rupture of the bladder. If you notice any of these symptoms, please seek veterinary advice immediately. How can I manage my dog’s purine levels? Did you know that some dog breeds are unique in the way they digest and process their food? This means that specific dietary measures must be put in place to ensure they remain happy and healthy. In particular, breeds such as Dalmatians are known for requiring low purine diets – but why is this? What is purine?Before chopping up a salmon for sushi, go through the list above and make sure the salmon is fresh. Not only will it be safer to eat, but fresh salmon will taste much better. Is It Necessary to Skin a Salmon? For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.

Salmon skin can also be healthy for you. The skin contains a lot of the healthy nutrients that the flesh does, including omega-3. You will feel more resistance when removing pin bones on fresher salmon. If you don’t feel any resistance when removing the bones, the salmon is not fresh.

Comments

We all learn something all the time in dog food topics it's very interesting subject but does cause a bit of a stirr amongst people as all have their own thoughts of what suits their dogs so I generally keep out of the dog food discussions 😄

Part of our sensitive range this wheat, maize and barley free dog food recipe is perfect for dogs with digestive sensitivities and/or dietary intolerances. I was recommended this food by a neighbour who has a spaniel pup with the most amazing shiny coat. I have a gsd x collie who eats anything and an 11 month old saluki x whippet who is a bony ball of energy with a funny tummy. Cheap supermarket food made the older dog sluggish and the younger one itchy and his coat fall out. Really rich, premium food gave the saluki the squits. They were on JWB for a few months but feeding 2 x 19kg dogs on that all the time was getting expensive. Looked at Skinners on here before I bought it and was really surprised to see that Skinners has all the same good/green ingredients as JWB but not the 2 red ones that JWB does. It's also half the price! Both of the dogs love the food, I have to feed the gsd slightly less than recommended as she doesn't run around a lot and the higher fat content meant she started to lose her waistline. I feed the saluki slightly more to accommodate his crazy running and high energy levels. No more itching, no more coat loss, the gsd's coat has gone lovely and shiny and she seems less stiff on her legs too. Saluki x is still growing nicely and putting weight on, both dogs love the food and clear their bowls. Cannot recommend this food enough.We have chosen a dual-shape kibble to help keep mealtimes interesting- our new recipe uses both a cube-shaped and cross-shaped kibbles. We have also found the cross-shaped kibble can be great at slowing speedy eaters down and so may help support the feeling of satiety, by increasing the length of mealtimes. The kibbles are medium in terms of size so can be suitable for most adult dogs, but if you wanted to take a closer look then when not try a sample? Key benefits Skinner’s Field & Trial Grain-Free Recipe is a complete, grain-free recipe for dogs, specially formulated to help dogs with sensitivities or intolerances to grains such as wheat, maize, barley, rice and oats. To help manage this, owners often choose to make alterations to their dog’s food by avoiding ingredients high in purine, such as:

It may come as a surprise to some that you can eat salmon skin. If you cook it correctly, the skin will add just the right amount of crispiness to the meal. As a result of this imbalance, the urinary uric acid levels are nearly 10 times higher than that of other breeds, causing crystals and stones to form as it passes through the urinary tract. This can cause discomfort and even impair a dog’s urination.If the salmon’s flesh is more vivid and pink/red, it is a fresh salmon. Less fresh salmons will have dull-looking flesh. The underlying cause of the issue is unfortunately a genetic mutation. Meaning that Dalmatians are naturally more prone to the formation of these stones. While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients. If the salmon has an intense fishy smell, it is not fresh. Freshly caught salmon will have less of an intense smell.
