The score, in context

Husse Endurance 59.0

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The analysis carries it into the Good band, meat-forward for a recipe still using wheat, while three unnamed animal entries hold transparency down.

What's in it

Dried chickenAlready free of water, so its top place is a fair picture of the kibble.
Wheat, wheat middlingsBinds the kibble well. Middlings are the fibre-rich fraction left after milling. Wheat is the grain most often tied to intolerance.
Animal fatA group, not a species.
Rice
Hydrolysed animal proteinUnnamed source.
Linseed, vegetable fibres
Dried fish, salmon oilThe fish is unnamed; the salmon oil brings marine omega 3 faster than linseed alone.
Minerals, inulinInulin adds a little prebiotic fibre.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate500 mg/kg eachAimed at cartilage under repeated loading.

Vitamin E at 580 mg and vitamin C at 400 mg per kilo lead a full panel of dosed trace minerals, with L-carnitine at 300 mg to help turn fat into energy.

Three unnamed animal entries mean this label cannot support a strict single-protein plan.
