Husse Adult Active Life review

Name: Husse Adult Active Life
Brand: Husse

60.5/100Good

DryAdult

A Good-band everyday kibble for adult dogs with a bit of go in them. Dried chicken opens the list, so real protein reaches the finished biscuit, and wheat is nowhere on it. Further down, dried salmon, salmon oil, eggs, inulin and marine algae are all named.

Our view

Likely to suit

Active adults of any build, with fat at 17.4% of dry matter
Wheat-free feeding: maize and rice build the biscuit
Marine omega 3s from dried salmon and salmon oil at 1%
A named prebiotic, inulin at 0.5%

Worth watching

Salmon and dried eggs, so not for a dog that reacts to fish or egg
Maize, brown rice and rice, which rules out grain free
