DryAdultSenior

My Pet Says Superfood 65 Light/Senior Small Breed is a turkey and pork recipe for the older or heavier little dog, and it keeps the protein up while the fat comes down. A joint pack, L-carnitine and two prebiotics all carry doses. It lands in our Excellent band, a step above the typical dry adult food.

The score, in context

Responsibly Sourced British Turkey 77.0

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

Reaching this band on a light recipe is the interesting part: the meat share never moves, so starch never has to fill the gap.
