My Pet Says Super Premium Small Breed Adult: Chicken & Rice review

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

57/100Good

DryAdult

Flavour

Two small breed recipes that differ in kind, one poultry on rice and one salmon on potato. Both reach our Good band. The salmon bag names no animal but salmon anywhere on its label, which makes it the easier of the pair for a dog on a narrowed diet.

Our view

Likely to suit

Small adults kept away from chicken: the salmon recipe names salmon and nothing else
Owners who like a plain cereal food, with rice at 29% leading the chicken
Toy and small breeds with modest appetites
Dogs that do better on a richer bowl, given the salmon's 11.0% fat
Households that like to alternate two flavours from one shelf

Worth watching

Maize in the salmon recipe, for a dog that has reacted to it before
No fresh meat behind the chicken's 29% headline; it is dried chicken and fat
No added glucosamine or chondroitin on either label

The score, in context

Chicken 57.0
Salmon 53.3

All two Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The two finish side by side, so pick by the dog and not by the small gap between them.

Against the range

Meat: 29% chicken, all dried meat and fat; The salmon declares 44%, partly fresh.

Carbohydrate: 54.9% of dry matter; 52.6% on the salmon.

The lighter of the two, and the one for a dog that does well on a cereal.

Two different dinners for small adults. The chicken is a cereal food: 29% chicken, all of it dried meat and fat, on rice with barley and oats. The salmon declares 44% salmon in four parts and swaps the rice for potato, oats and maize. Starch does plenty of work in both, at an estimated 54.9% and 52.6% of dry matter carbohydrate. Both labels print their vitamins and trace elements, with the minerals as sulphates.
