The Boréal Healthy Grains Freshwater Trout food is a dry holistic recipe for adult dogs, made in Ontario by Boréal Pet Foods, a Canadian family company. Fresh boneless trout (19 %) + herring meal (17 %) + pork meal (12 %) in the first ingredients. Trout offers more protein than salmon and a better essential amino acid profile (lysine, methionine, arginine, leucine). Low-glycemic ancient grains : hulled barley, oatmeal, and brown rice. Herring oil added (2 %) for marine omega-3s. Taurine and DL-methionine for the heart. 26 % protein, 16 % fat. Sizes 2.26 kg and 10 kg.
🐠 Trout + herring + pork, low-glycemic ancient grains
48 % fish and meat (trout + herring meal + pork meal). Barley, oats, brown rice. Trout offers more protein than salmon. Taurine 0.13 %. Canadian family company.
🐠 Trout vs. salmon: why choose trout?
trout is naturally a more protein-dense fish than salmon. It provides higher levels of essential amino acids like lysine, methionine, arginine, and leucine. These amino acids are important for maintaining muscles, organs, and metabolism. Trout is also a novel protein that is less common than salmon.
🌾 Healthy Grains vs. Grain-Free: what's the difference?
The Boréal Healthy Grains line includes nutritious ancient grains (barley, oats, brown rice) with a low glycemic index. The Original and Vital Grain-Free lines use only white beans and peas. Choose Healthy Grains if your dog tolerates grains well and benefits from extra fiber.
🌿 Low glycemic index: why does it matter?
Barley, oatmeal, and brown rice have a lower glycemic index than industrial grains (corn, white rice) or potatoes. That means a slower release of glucose, longer-lasting satiety and more stable energy.

Yes. Trout is more protein-dense and offers a better essential amino acid profile (lysine, methionine, arginine, leucine). It's an excellent choice for active dogs or protein rotation.
Most dogs tolerate easy-to-digest ancient grains like barley, oats, and brown rice very well. Recipes to avoid are those with wheat, corn or soy (often problematic). Boréal Healthy Grains avoids these ingredients.
Healthy Grains Trout contains low-glycemic ancient grains and trout (more protein than salmon). Original Salmon is grain-free and uses Atlantic salmon. Both are excellent choices depending on whether you prefer grains or not.
