Our view

Likely to suit

Itchy skin and dull coats, fed by linseed at 2% and salmon oil at 1%
Dogs kept off poultry and red meat; salmon is the only named animal
A light mineral load, with calcium at 1.2% of dry matter
Any size from toy to giant, portioned from 1kg to past 60kg

Worth watching

Animal fat and hydrolysed animal protein with no species, so it is not a fish-only food
Salmon in both the meat and the oil, if fish is the trigger

The score, in context

Husse Hypoallergenic Skin & Coat Adult 56.2

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Full carbohydrate and an unquantified meat share hold it level with the typical food; the dosed panel and light ash are its strengths.
