Husse Opus Ocean review

Name: Husse Opus Ocean
Brand: Husse

56.8/100Good

DryAdult

The fish half of Husse's Opus pair, in our Good band, and the back label is the reason to read it. Protein converts to 41.8% of dry matter while carbohydrate stays at 24.4%, about half the typical adult kibble. That pairing is unusual on any dry food.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs steered away from poultry. Salmon is the one species named
Active adults of any size, at 38.0% protein and 410 kcal per 100g
Owners who want no cereal in the bowl
Skin and coat, with salmon oil and linseed both feeding the omega side
No added salt anywhere on the list

Worth watching

Unnamed animal fat and hydrolysed protein, so a strict single-fish diet cannot be proved
Ash at 9.0%, which usually means plenty of bone, fish frames included
A rich recipe; a dog with a quiet routine needs the scoop kept honest

The score, in context

Husse Opus Ocean 56.8

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

The analysis carries it, and the ceiling is label practice: an undeclared meat share and two animal entries that never name a species.

What's in it

SalmonNo percentage given, but the protein figure suggests plenty. Highly digestible.
Potato, peasThe starch, with no cereal.
Animal fatNamed by family only.
LinseedPlant omega 3 beside the marine.
Vegetable fibresLift crude fibre to 3.7%.
YeastB vitamins and mannan-oligosaccharides.
Hydrolysed animal proteinSpecies not given; matters on an exclusion trial.
Minerals, salmon oil
Fructo-oligosaccharides0.3%A prebiotic.
Lecithin, sea algae, rosemaryAlgae brings iodine; rosemary keeps the fat in condition.

The trace minerals broken out with doses, iron at 201 mg/kg and zinc from two sources; clinoptilolite is a flow agent.

Named ingredients

Salmon, potato, peas, animal fat, linseed, vegetable fibres, yeast, hydrolysed animal protein, minerals, salmon oil, fructo-oligosaccharides (0.3%), lecithin, sea algae, rosemary.

Against the range

Salmon leads and is the only animal named. Potato and peas replace grain, carbohydrate comes to 24.4% of dry matter, and the meat percentage goes undeclared. Animal fat and hydrolysed animal protein give no species.
