What is Marly & Dan?
Marly & Dan is a French pet food manufacturer that creates balanced food and functional treats for dogs and cats. All recipes are salmon-based, making them an excellent choice for owners looking for a fish-protein-based diet for their pet.
The brand's philosophy is simple: pet food should be of the same quality we would choose for ourselves. Each recipe is developed according to the recommendations of veterinarians and animal nutritionists, using only high-quality natural ingredients. Marly & Dan is part of a group of companies that raises salmon and produces salmon products for human consumption as well.
Where and how is Marly & Dan food produced?
Marly & Dan products are manufactured on the French coast, in Boulogne-sur-Mer – one of the most important fishing ports in Northern France. Only fresh, local salmon is used as the main ingredient.
Only the best part of the fish, between the head and the tail, is selected for production. No bones, no waste – just high-quality fish meat. This approach to raw materials is one of the main reasons why "Marly & Dan" is classified as super-premium.
Why salmon? The benefits of Omega-3 for dogs and cats
Salmon is considered a high-quality protein source, rich in essential amino acids, Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins B12, D, and E, and minerals such as selenium and potassium.
It is the Omega-3 fatty acids that provide most of the benefits for which owners choose salmon-based food. When regularly consumed through food, they can help:
- maintain healthy, moisturized skin and a shiny coat;
- strengthen the immune system;
- reduce inflammatory processes and thus support joint health;
- support heart, brain, and nervous system function;
- reduce discomfort associated with dry, flaky skin.
Salmon is also a good choice for sensitive pets who do not tolerate conventional chicken or grain-based recipes.

How to choose the right Marly & Dan food?
When choosing food, it is worth considering several factors:
- Pet type and age. Recipes for puppies, adults, and seniors differ in their nutrient balance. For cats, choose food specifically adapted for them.
- Breed size. Dry dog food is categorized by small, medium, and large breeds – this determines the kibble size and caloric value.
- Specific needs. Sensitive skin, joint care, digestion, or stress reduction – functional treats allow you to specifically supplement the daily diet.
- Transition to new food. Introduce new food gradually over 7–10 days, mixing it with the old food to avoid digestive upset.
