Ingredient Review
Our review of Inception Fish Recipe Canned Dog Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Ocean Whitefish. Ocean Whitefish is a general term that refers to saltwater fish species with light-colored flesh. In pet food, ocean whitefish is a source of protein and essential nutrients including Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids.
The second ingredient is Fish Broth. Fish broth is a byproduct of the seafood cooking process, and can contain fish of any kind. In pet food, fish broth adds flavor and aroma, along with some nutrients.
The third ingredient is Oats. Oats are seeds from the oat plant, usually with their tough outer hulls removed before further processing into a coarse high-fiber substance. The oats in pet food are a source of carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals to support your companion’s overall well-being.
The fourth ingredient is Natural Fish Flavor. Natural fish flavor is a flavoring extract or compound that might or might not contain actual fish. In pet food, natural fish flavor simply heightens taste and makes a recipe more palatable. Natural flavors can be sourced from animal products, plants, minerals, and even natural chemical compounds.
The fifth ingredient is Calcium Carbonate. Calcium carbonate is a source of supplemental calcium. Calcium carbonate is added to pet food to help keep your pet’s bones, teeth, joints, and muscles healthy.

Nutritional Analysis
Your adult dog needs a balance of macro and micronutrients to thrive. A food formulated for adult maintenance or all life stages is made to meet these needs. While there can be a lot of variation in actual calorie density, adult dog foods are generally intended to provide for basic calorie needs of the average active dog. In addition to satisfying their energy needs, these foods provide the protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and other nutrients your adult dog needs to survive. Again, not all adult foods are the same, so you may have to search around for the right fit for your dog.

This food is great for my dog that suffers from chronic gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. The only issue is that Inception goes through phases where it stops production and all of the stores run out of it. During those times, it is hard to find a substitute that won’t make my dog ill. If production was consistent, I would give it 5 stars.
