Science Diet is an excellent food but as you have noticed their over the counter foods typically don't have fish. They do have a prescription diet with fish but it can be expensive. I included a couple links to a couple different types of food that contain Salmon. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/purina-pro-plan-sensitive-skin-and-stomach-salmon-and-rice-formula-adult-dry-dog-food https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/purina-one-sensitive-systems-adult-dog-food Thank you!
