Husse Junior Paté review

Name: Husse Junior Paté
Brand: Husse

50.4/100Good

WetPuppy

Good on our scoring, and held back by how the label names things, not by how the food feeds. Husse Junior Paté is almost entirely meat: protein converts to 47.4% of dry matter and carbohydrate to only 5.2%. Very few wet foods have that shape, and cereal cannot fake it.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Juniors that do best on very little starch
Growing dogs that need protein density, at 47.4% of dry matter
Fussy juniors. A soft paté is usually the easiest thing to get down a reluctant dog
Owners who want a wet food with almost nothing added

Worth watching

No calcium figure and a light ash, so a large or giant junior's bone minerals cannot be planned from this label
Veal is the only meat named, at 14% of an 80% entry, leaving most of the animal content unidentified

The score, in context

Husse Junior Paté 50.4

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis is about as meaty as wet food gets, and the Good band reflects the category wording on the label far more than the food in the tin.

What's in it

Veal (within the meat)14%The only animal named.
Derivatives of vegetable originOtherwise undescribed.
Dried ginseng0.5%A botanical flourish more than a working ingredient.
MineralsNo calcium figure anywhere on the label.

Vitamins A, D3 and E only, at 2500 IU, 250 IU and 5 mg per kg.

No calcium figure for a growth food. For a large or giant breed junior, ask Husse for it.
