Husse Light review

Name: Husse Light
Brand: Husse

35.2/100Average

DryAdultSenior

A lower-fat diet kibble in our Average band, built for adults and seniors carrying too much weight. The light side is honest: fat at 9.2% of dry matter, more fibre, and a printed dose of joint support. The meat is unnamed at the top of the list and wheat follows in three forms.

Where to buy: coming soon

Our view

Likely to suit

Adults and seniors being slimmed
Heavier dogs whose joints feel the load. Glucosamine and chondroitin are dosed on the label
Dogs that need bulk to feel full, from vegetable fibres and wheat bran
Fish-free homes, with no fish meal or fish oil on the list
A big dog, or several, given the single large bag

Worth watching

Dried animal proteins first, naming no species
Wheat, wheat bran and wheat meal, so not one for a wheat-sensitive dog
371 kcal per 100 grams against 357 for typical adult dry food, so measure portions

The score, in context

Husse Light 35.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Being marked down for low fat is a little rough on a light food; the generic meat and the wheat doing the heavy lifting are what really hold it back.

Wheat, wheat bran, wheat mealThe bran is mostly fibre, which fills a dog without feeding much.

Animal fat
Vegetable fibres3%The light mechanism, alongside the low fat.
Linseed1.5%Plant omega 3, the only kind here.
