My Pet Says Superfood 65 Senior Light: Scottish Salmon review

Name: My Pet Says Superfood 65 Senior Light: Scottish Salmon
Brand: My Pet Says

76.6/100Excellent

DryAdultSenior

The brand's salmon recipe tuned for later life: calories eased back, protein left where it was. Protein converts to 38.0% of dry matter, which is not what a bag marked senior normally reads. The joint pack, carnitine and prebiotics all come with their doses printed.

Our view

Likely to suit

Greying dogs who still expect dinner on time and need fewer calories in it
Seniors whose weight has crept up. Fat is 11.0% and energy 352 kcal per 100g
Stiff hips, with glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane at 180 mg/kg each and chondroitin at 125 mg/kg
Owners who will not let protein slide as a dog ages
Fish-only dogs: salmon is the one animal on the list
Grain-free homes, as sweet potato and beans hold the kibble together

Worth watching

An omega 3 supplement with no named source, the one gap in a salmon-only list
Calcium at 1.85% of dry matter and ash at 10.3%, a sign of bone in the dried salmon
A generous feeding table for a lighter food. Start at the low end of each band

All one Excellent. Typical dry food: Good.

A senior food that kept its protein up while easing the calories back, and the score follows from that.
