Husse Adult Vitality review

Name: Husse Adult Vitality
Brand: Husse

57/100Good

DryAdult

Husse Adult Vitality is written for the dog with an ordinary week, and it sits in our Good band. Protein and fat are pitched gently while maize and rice carry most of the load. What lifts it is the extras: glucosamine, chondroitin and taurine, each dosed on the bag.

The score, in context

Husse Adult Vitality 57.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Nothing here is done badly and nothing is pushed hard, which for a dog with an ordinary week is frequently the point.

What's in it

Dried chickenDried, so there is no water to subtract before judging it.
Maize, brown rice, riceA broad starch side, behind the carbohydrate estimate of 55.2% of dry matter.
PeasFifth, so a real ingredient: fibre, vitamins and a little plant protein.
Vegetable fibres4%
Hydrolysed animal protein, animal fatBoth do real jobs and neither names its animal.
Linseed, dried salmon, salmon oilOmega 3 in plant and marine forms.
Minerals, brewer's yeast, dried eggs
Inulin0.3%A prebiotic for the large intestine.
Marine algae
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate250 mg/kg eachAimed at cartilage as a dog ages.

Taurine at 1000 mg and L-carnitine at 400 mg per kilo, with vitamin E, vitamin C and each trace element printed.

On a defined exclusion list, the unnamed animal fat and hydrolysed protein are the gap to keep in mind.

Named ingredients

Dried chicken, maize, brown rice, rice, peas, vegetable fibres (4%), hydrolysed animal protein, linseed, animal fat, minerals, dried salmon, salmon oil, brewer's yeast, dried eggs, inulin (0.3%, source of fructo-oligosaccharides), marine algae, glucosamine (250 mg/kg), chondroitin sulphate (250 mg/kg).

Against the range

One adult kibble with dried chicken first and a broad starch side of maize, brown rice and rice behind it. The joint pair, taurine and L-carnitine all carry printed doses, and both fish and unnamed animal entries appear further down.
