Our read

Two grain-free salmon recipes from the same manufacturer, Diamond, and the scorecards are almost identical: they tie on nutrition fit, brand trust, ingredient clarity, and a top sensitivity-risk mark. In our view the only separation is value, where Taste of the Wild edges Kirkland on cost per 1,000 kcal.

This verdict is our opinion under the PetScored rubric, not veterinary advice. The exact sub-scores are in the table below; each food’s source confidence and limitations stay on its own scorecard.

Kirkland Signature

Nature's Domain Salmon Meal & Sweet Potato

All-life-stages adequacy and fish-first formulation are positives, while peas and potatoes dominate much of the recipe. Relative to price, it offers unusually strong value.

Taste of the Wild

Pacific Stream Smoked Salmon

Fish leads the formula and avoids poultry, which may suit some dogs, but multiple legumes appear in the top ingredients. The price is relatively reasonable for a boutique-style recipe.
