Husse Hypoallergenic Skin & Coat Adult Small Breeds review

Name: Husse Hypoallergenic Skin & Coat Adult Small Breeds
Brand: Husse

55.8/100Good

DryAdult

Husse's salmon and rice skin recipe, sized for a little dog, in our Good band. Dried salmon is the one animal the list names and rice turns up three times. Linseed and salmon oil carry the skin brief, and the mineral load is light.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Toy and small adults, the size the kibble and its feeding table are built around
Flaky skin or a dull coat: linseed at 2% with salmon oil at 1%
Owners avoiding poultry and red meat, as salmon is the only named animal
A modest mineral intake. Ash is 5.7% of dry matter, calcium 1.2%
Dogs that react to wheat, maize or soya, none of which is on the label

Worth watching

Animal fat and hydrolysed animal protein with no species named
Carbohydrate near 49.7% of dry matter, a full load in a small bowl

The score, in context

Husse Hypoallergenic Skin & Coat Adult Small Breeds 55.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Read as a small-breed food for a dog with fussy skin, it delivers what the front of the bag describes; three rice entries and an unweighted fish keep it level with the typical kibble.
