36.7/100Average

DryAdult

A plain wheat-based kibble for small and medium adult dogs, and it lands in our Average band. Dried animal proteins lead with no species attached, three forms of wheat follow, and dried chicken turns up sixth. How the food feeds is not the issue; how little the label names is.

The details

The score, in context

Husse Complete 36.7

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Most of the distance from the typical dry food comes from what the label declines to name, starting with the unnamed animal protein in first place.

What's in it

Dried animal proteinsConcentrated and genuine, but the species is not declared.
Wheat, wheat meal, wheat branBinds the kibble. Wheat is the grain most often behind an intolerance; the bran brings fibre.
Maize
Dried chickenThe only named meat, sixth and behind the grains.
Animal fatSpecies not given.
Vegetable fibres3%
Linseed1%The only omega source, in the plant form a dog converts slowly. No fish oil.
Hydrolysed animal protein
Minerals

A fully dosed vitamin and trace mineral panel, preserved with tocopherols and rosemary extract, plus sepiolite as a technological additive.

With the animal proteins and fat unnamed, nothing can be promised for a dog avoiding a particular meat.

Named ingredients

Dried animal proteins, wheat, wheat meal, wheat bran, maize, dried chicken, animal fat, vegetable fibres (3%), linseed (1%), hydrolysed animal protein, minerals.
