My Pet Says Super Premium Senior Light: Fish & Rice review

Name: My Pet Says Super Premium Senior Light: Fish & Rice
Brand: My Pet Says

44.2/100Average

DryAdultSenior

A lower-fat kibble for older dogs that need to weigh a little less, finishing in our Average band. Rice comes before the fish and carbohydrate runs high. Read against its own brief it delivers: fat kept low, carnitine dosed, fibre lifted for fullness and the joint trio printed in full.

Our view

Likely to suit

Senior dogs who have quietly put on weight, on fat at 8.0% with L-carnitine at 480 mg
Stiff mornings: glucosamine and MSM at 180 mg/kg each, chondroitin at 125 mg/kg
A fish-loving dog in a house keeping red meat out of the bowl
Medium dogs on a settled routine, the shape the feeding table is drawn around

Worth watching

Chicken fat in the recipe, so the food is not chicken free
Dried fish with no species named
Carbohydrate at 57.1% of dry matter, and protein gentle for an older dog still doing a full day

The score, in context

Fish 44.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Rice before the fish and modest protein hold it a step below most dry food, though it does what a senior light diet is meant to do.

What's in it

Brown rice22%With fat down, something has to fill the room. Brown keeps more fibre than white.
Dried fish20%Dried, so more protein than the same share of fresh fish. No species named.
Barley, oats
White rice10%
Chicken fatNamed to species, and the reason this is not a fish-only food.
Beet pulp, pea fibre4% beet pulpFibre for fullness.
Brewer's yeast, minerals, vitamins
Yucca schidigera extract190 mg/kgAimed at the smell of the stools.
Glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane, chondroitin sulphate180, 180 and 125 mg/kgPrinted in full.

L-carnitine at 480 mg to work on the dog's own fat stores, vitamins A, D3 and E, and a fully dosed sulphate mineral panel.

The fish is unnamed, so this cannot anchor a plan avoiding one particular fish.
