My Pet Says MyPetSays Grain Free: Lamb, Sweet Potato & Mint review

DryAdult

Flavour

Eleven grain-free kibbles on one construction, changing the animal each time. Every published label names the meat and prints its fresh and dried shares, which is unusually open. The fruit or herb each bag is named after arrives at a trace, right at the end.

Our view

Likely to suit

Label readers, with fresh and dried shares printed on every published bag
Cereal-free homes; potato and sweet potato take the grain's place
Owners who swap flavours often, as mostly only the animal changes
A delicate digestion, with beet pulp and dosed prebiotics on every published label
Something off the usual list: rabbit, venison and pork

Worth watching

The turkey publishes no ingredient list, so a sensitive dog is surer on another flavour
An unsourced omega 3 supplement, so no land meat here can be promised fish free
Second animals behind the rabbit, the venison and both fish pairs

The score, in context

We are holding this range without a rating, and the reason is one missing label rather than anything the food has done. Nothing at all is declared on the turkey recipe, so what fills that bag stays hidden. Grading ten labels and guessing at the eleventh would not be honest. Everything else here is unusually open, down to the split between fresh and dried meat on every recipe, so the day that turkey list appears the picture completes itself quickly.

A single red meat for a dog off poultry, with the fullest mineral load here.

Every published label puts 50% or more into one named meat family, printed as a fresh share and a dried share. The dried part runs from 12% on the salmon and trout to 21% on the chicken. Sweet potato at 21.5% to 27% heads the plants, then potato and peas, with no grain anywhere.

Beet pulp, linseed and a dosed FOS and MOS pair run throughout, with trace minerals as sulphates. Most recipes add an omega 3 supplement of unstated source. The turkey publishes no ingredient list.
