55.1/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

The everyday adult line from My Pet Says: six recipes, four on rice and cereal or potato, one grain-free duck and a fish recipe aimed at itchy skin. All six settle in our Good band. With one name on six bags, the useful question is which fits the dog you have.

Our view

Likely to suit

Medium adults on an everyday routine
Dogs kept off grain, through the duck on potato at 31% and peas
A genuinely single-animal diet: on the duck list, duck is the only animal
Itchy dogs. The salmon with trout carries 45% fish and a dosed skin blend
A bird eater and a fish eater in one house

Worth watching

Chicken fat in the lamb and the turkey, so neither is closed to a dog reacting to chicken
Dried fish behind the chicken in the chicken and rice cube
Carbohydrate between 46.7% and 55.4% of dry matter, so these are moderate-meat foods

All six Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Meat share splits the range in two, though every label is equally plain and the cereal recipes are simply built to a more modest animal share.

Named ingredients

Chicken 29% (including Dried Chicken 26% & Chicken Fat 3%), Rice (26%), Barley, Oats, Beet Pulp (2%), Dried Fish, Brewers Yeast, Minerals, Vitamins, Yucca Extract (190 mg/kg).

Against the range

Meat: Chicken 29%; 27% to 45% across the six.
Fat, dry matter: 8.7%; Leanest of the six.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 55.4%; Highest; the duck is 46.7%.

The lean everyday cube for a dog that does well on rice.

Every label names its animal and prints the split, from 45% fish on the skin recipe down to 27% dried turkey. The chicken, lamb and turkey lead with dried meat, which carries far more protein than the same share of fresh. The mineral panels are dosed to the milligram throughout.

The plant side is where the six part company: rice with barley or oats on three, potato on the two salmon recipes and the duck. Fat comes from the named animal on the chicken and duck, from salmon oil on the fish recipes, and from chicken fat on the lamb and turkey.
