Our view

Likely to suit

Active adults who need a meat-forward bowl
Dogs kept off grain
Owners who want carbohydrate held down
A heart-minded extra, with taurine at 1000 mg per kilo
Dogs of every size on one bag

Worth watching

Salmon oil on the list, so not fish free
Dried eggs, for a dog that reacts to egg
Dense food; a dog with a gentle routine needs the scoop trimmed

The score, in context

Husse Grain Free High Energy Support Adult 65.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The figures make the case and the naming stops it climbing: two supporting animal entries never say which animal they came from.

What's in it

Dried chickenDried, so its place is not flattered by water.
Dried potatoes, dried peasThe starch, in place of grain. Peas add fibre and some plant protein.
Animal fatSpecies not named.
Linseed
Hydrolysed animal proteinUnnamed too; a strict single-protein trial needs more than this.
Vegetable fibres
Salmon oilThe only fish on the list, doing the omega 3 work faster than linseed.
Brewer's yeast, minerals, inulin0.3% inulinB vitamins, and food for the gut bacteria.
Dried eggsEasily used protein.
Marine algae

Taurine at 1000 mg and L-carnitine at 300 mg per kilo with a full printed panel; sepiolite is a processing aid.
