Name: My Pet Says Super Premium Large Breed Adult: Chicken & Rice
Brand: My Pet Says

60.5/100Good

DryAdult

A Good-band chicken and rice kibble for big dogs, with a serious joint pack behind it. Glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane and chondroitin are all printed with their doses, which is what the owner of a large dog wants to find on the back of a bag. Dried chicken at 29% gives the recipe real protein to build on.

The score, in context

Chicken 60.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Ordinary virtues lift it just ahead of the middle of the shelf; the cereal load and a respectable protein figure stop it climbing further.
