Husse Prima Plus review

Name: Husse Prima Plus
Brand: Husse

44.8/100Average

DryAdult

Husse's everyday all-rounder: a cereal-led chicken kibble in every bag size the brand makes, for dogs of any size. Glucosamine is dosed in print for joints that have done a few years of service. It sits in our Average band on its protein and carbohydrate balance, and a settled adult dog with an unfussy constitution still feeds well on it.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult dogs of any size, on one recipe and one feeding table
A choice of bag: 2kg, 7kg and 12kg, plus a double 12kg pack
Older dogs feeling their joints, with glucosamine at 500 mg/kg
Dogs who suit a leaner bowl. Fat is declared at 10.0%

Worth watching

Wheat second on the list, with wheat meal right behind; cereals do a lot of the carrying
Protein at 22.5%, lean for a muscular or hard-working dog
Salmon and salmon oil mid list, so not fish free

The score, in context

Husse Prima Plus 44.8

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The recipe is ordinary and decently made; a cereal-heavy balance of protein to carbohydrate is what holds the score down.
