59.5/100Good

DryAdult

A high-energy kibble for dogs that burn what they eat, in our Good band. Dried chicken leads, and because it goes in with its water already gone, protein finishes at 31.5% of dry matter. Fat does much of the energy work, so carbohydrate stays well under the typical dry food.

The score, in context

Husse Active 59.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Dried chicken and a strong analysis carry it; transparency reads Poor because the fat and the palatant name no species.

Dried fish1%Marine omega 3 that plants cannot supply directly.
