Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that do better on a short list with one cereal
Homes kept off wheat and maize. Rice is the only grain
Weight management, with fat at 9.5% and L-carnitine at 40 mg per kilo
A delicate gut: fructo-oligosaccharides at 0.3% feed the friendly bacteria

Worth watching

Salmon oil and dried whole eggs, so neither fish free nor egg free
No species printed for the animal fat or the hydrolysed protein, which rules it out of a strict elimination trial
Carbohydrate at 50.5% of dry matter against the 46.2% typical

The score, in context

Husse Sensitive Light 46.1

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

Protein is the strong figure here; the unnamed animal entries and a starch load carried by one cereal keep the rest at Average.

What's in it

ChickenIn the plain form, so part of its weight leaves as steam in cooking.
Rice, rice flourThe only cereals. Rice sits easiest of the common grains on a delicate stomach.
Animal fatNo species given.
Vegetable fibres
Linseed, yeast, salmon oilOmegas from plant and marine sides; yeast for B vitamins.
Hydrolysed animal proteinAnother unnamed animal source.
SaltA flavour enhancer. It counts mainly for a dog on a restricted sodium regime.
Dried whole eggsA little protein that digests very easily.
Fructo-oligosaccharides0.3%
Lecithin, sea algae, TagetesTagetes is marigold, a source of carotenoids.

A generous vitamin panel, with vitamin E at 580 mg and vitamin C at 200 mg per kilo, zinc declared twice, and L-carnitine at 40 mg per kilo.

Clinoptilolite at 10 g per kilo is on the panel; it does a manufacturing job, not a nutritional one.

Named ingredients

Chicken, rice, rice flour, animal fat, vegetable fibres, linseed, yeast, salmon oil, hydrolysed animal protein, salt, dried whole eggs, fructo-oligosaccharides (0.3%), lecithin, sea algae, Tagetes.

Against the range

A single recipe with a short list: chicken first, rice as the only cereal, and no wheat or maize anywhere. The animal fat and the hydrolysed protein carry no species, and salt sits midway down.
