My Pet Says Grain Free Puppy: Chicken with Sweet Potato, Carrots & Peas review

Name: My Pet Says Grain Free Puppy: Chicken with Sweet Potato, Carrots & Peas
Brand: My Pet Says

73/100Excellent

DryPuppy

Flavour

Two grain-free puppy kibbles built to one blueprint, both in our Excellent band. The difference from most growth bags is how much the label tells you: the 60% animal share split out ingredient by ingredient, calcium printed and in range, every supplement dosed.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Owners who want each meat or fish given its own percentage
A grain-free bowl, with sweet potato and potato doing the starch work
Owners who check the calcium line first
Pups starting joint care young, with glucosamine and MSM at 170 mg/kg each
Homes that like to rotate between a poultry recipe and an all-fish one

Worth watching

Turkey and salmon join the chicken, so the poultry recipe will not do for a single-protein plan
White fish in the fish recipe is not named to a species
Neither omega 3 supplement names its source; confirm it with the maker before a strict exclusion trial

The score, in context

Chicken 73.0
Salmon 72.4

All two Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

A label doing the hard work for you is what lifts both a step clear of the puppy kibble field.

Three animals share the 60%, so this one cannot anchor a single-protein trial.

Named ingredients

Against the range

Animals: Chicken, turkey, salmon; The fish recipe is salmon, haddock and white fish.
Protein, fat: 29.0%, 15.0%; 28.0% and 13.0% in the fish recipe.
Energy: 384 kcal per 100g; 359 in the fish recipe.
Calcium, dry matter: 1.3%; 1.41% in the fish recipe.
Listed for: Toy to giant pups; Medium breeds only for the fish.

The richer of the pair, and the one to pick for a pup at either end of the size scale.

Both recipes open on 60% animal content and then itemise it, each meat or fish with its own percentage. Sweet potato heads the plant side, potato follows, and there is no cereal in either; beet pulp brings a gentle fibre and linseed with an omega 3 supplement looks after the fats.

Both declare calcium inside the range growing bone needs and share the same dosed supplement tail: the joint trio, nucleotides, FOS and MOS. What varies is the animal side, three land and sea animals in one and three fish in the other, plus the sizes each is listed for.
