My Pet Says Super Premium Large Breed Puppy: Salmon & Potato review

Name: My Pet Says Super Premium Large Breed Puppy: Salmon & Potato
Brand: My Pet Says

59.2/100Good

DryPuppy

A large breed puppy kibble in our Good band, and the figure a big pup's owner should look for first is right there: calcium converts to 1.20% of dry matter. The joint package has real numbers against it. Salmon leads, and the base of potato, barley and oats does a fair share of the feeding.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large breed puppies, with calcium at a level that supports steady bone growth
Joint support in working amounts: glucosamine and MSM at 355 mg/kg each, chondroitin sulphate at 250 mg/kg
A young dog whose stomach prefers fish to meat
Busy pups with a good appetite, at 388 kcal per 100g

Worth watching

Chicken fat on the list, which rules it out of a poultry-free elimination diet
Carbohydrate at 45.7% of dry matter against 39.0% typical, and potato protein topping up the analysis

The score, in context

Salmon 59.2

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A printed calcium figure and a dosed joint package give it purpose; moderate protein and a generous starch share keep it in Good.
