48.2/100Average

Our view

Likely to suit

Medium and large breed adults, the sizes it is written around
Busy dogs that burn through their dinner
Dogs kept off chicken and red meat. Salmon is the only species named
Coats that need help, with salmon oil, linseed and zinc from two sources
A short, readable list with no botanical tail

Worth watching

Salt as a named ingredient, for a dog with a heart or blood pressure history
Salmon with no percentage and not dried, so much of its weight is water
Animal fat and hydrolysed animal protein with no species, so not a single-fish recipe

The score, in context

Husse Ocean Care 48.2

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Ordinary protein and starch figures and unquantified ingredients sit it just below the middle; energy density and a fully dosed mineral panel pull the other way.

What's in it

Rice, rice flourThe starch; carbohydrate estimates at 48.3% of dry matter.
Animal fatNo species.
LinseedPlant omega 3 for the dog to convert.
Vegetable fibres
Hydrolysed animal protein, yeastThe protein has no species; yeast brings B vitamins.
Salmon oilLong chain omega 3 that skin and coat use straight off.
Salt, potassium chlorideSalt for flavour, named openly. Potassium chloride is a potassium supplement.
Fructo-oligosaccharides, lecithin0.3% and 0.1%Prebiotic fibre, and lecithin for the coat.
Sea algae, rosemaryIodine, and a natural antioxidant.

A generous panel: vitamins A, D3 and E, zinc from two sources, iron, manganese, copper, iodine and selenium, plus clinoptilolite clay to keep the kibble flowing.
