Husse Hypoallergenic Flexcare Adult review

Name: Husse Hypoallergenic Flexcare Adult
Brand: Husse

61.1/100Good

DryAdult

A turkey and rice kibble with a joint brief, in our Good band. Dried turkey leads, and krill, linseed and salmon oil bring the omega fats from three directions. The hypoallergenic wording stops where the label does: the fat and the hydrolysate are only called animal.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult dogs starting to stiffen up, with glucosamine and chondroitin written into the recipe
Dogs that get on better with turkey than chicken or beef. Turkey is the only land meat named
Omega fats from more than one source: krill at 0.5%, linseed at 3%, salmon oil at 1%
A lighter mineral load, with crude ash at 6.5% of dry matter
Any size from a lap dog to a big one, portioned from 1kg through to 65kg

Worth watching

Krill and salmon oil mean this is not fish free
No dose for the glucosamine and chondroitin, so the amount of joint support is left open
Animal fat and hydrolysed animal protein name no species

The score, in context

Husse Hypoallergenic Flexcare Adult 61.1

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

A tidy analysis earns the placing quietly, and the two unnamed animal entries and the undosed joint pair hold it down.

What's in it

Dried turkeyDried keeps its weight through the oven. Turkey is less likely to be the bird a sensitive dog has already reacted to.
Rice, sweet potatoThe starch.
Animal fatNo species named.
Fava beans, dried appleFibre, with a little plant protein from the beans.
Linseed3%A generous helping of plant omega 3.
Hydrolysed animal proteinThe second unnamed animal entry.
Salmon oil, krill1%, 0.5%Marine omega 3s. Not fish free.
FOS, yeast hydrolysate, brewer's yeast0.3%, 0.2%Prebiotics for the gut's good bacteria; brewer's yeast for B vitamins.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphateNamed, not measured, and listed below the smallest declared botanical.
Bilberry, rosehip, marigold and other dried fruit and plants0.01% each for threeGarnish; yucca schidigera is in there for stool odour.
