Husse Grain Free Skin & Coat Adult review

Name: Husse Grain Free Skin & Coat Adult
Brand: Husse

64.6/100Good

DryAdult

A salmon-led kibble with a markedly meaty analysis for a dry food, and it sits in our Good band. Protein converts to 41.3% of dry matter while carbohydrate stays at an estimated 26.2%, against 46.2% for the typical adult dry food. The coat case rests on two omega sources, one marine and one plant.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs with dull or flaky coats: linseed at 2% and salmon oil at 1%
A meat-forward bowl from a dry food
Dogs kept off cereal, with potatoes and peas doing the binding
Owners who like the extras printed, taurine at 1000 mg and L-carnitine at 300 mg per kilo
Large and giant adults. The label sizes portions past 60kg

Worth watching

Animal fat and hydrolysed animal protein name no species, so a strict elimination trial is out
Fish as both the meat and the oil
Ash at 8.9% and calcium at 1.85% of dry matter, toward the upper end, if your vet is watching minerals

The score, in context

Husse Grain Free Skin & Coat Adult 64.6

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The analysis lifts it; the unnamed animal fat and palatant, and a salmon share with no percentage, hold it back.

What's in it

Dried salmonAlready dried, so its top place means what it seems to. No percentage given.
Dried potatoes, dried peasThe binding, in place of grain. Peas add fibre and a little plant protein.
Animal fatThe main energy source, species not named.
Vegetable fibres
Linseed2%Plant omega 3, which the body has to convert first.
Brewer's yeastB vitamins for skin and coat.
Hydrolysed animal proteinThe palatant. No species.
Salmon oil1%Marine omega 3 that skin can use straight away.
Minerals, inulin, marine algaeAlgae adds iodine and trace minerals.

Zinc and vitamin E, the two skin draws on most, are both printed with figures, alongside taurine, L-carnitine and vitamin C; sepiolite is a flow agent, not a nutrient.

Named ingredients

Dried salmon, dried potatoes, dried peas, animal fat, vegetable fibres, linseed (2%), brewer's yeast, hydrolysed animal protein, salmon oil (1%), minerals, inulin (source of fructo-oligosaccharides), marine algae.

Against the range

One grain free salmon kibble. Dried salmon leads, dried potatoes and peas replace the cereal, and the omega fats come from linseed and salmon oil. Moisture is not declared, so the dry matter figures assume 8%.
