50.8/100Good

DryPuppy

Husse's large-breed puppy food prints the two numbers a big pup's owner looks for. Calcium converts to 1.3% of dry matter, inside the growth range, and glucosamine is dosed at 500 mg/kg. It sits in our Good band, with chicken leading and rice and wheat behind.

Our view

Likely to suit

Large-breed puppies, the dogs the bag is written for
Owners who check for a declared calcium line before anything else
Big pups whose joints get attention early
Fast growers with an appetite, at 410 kcal per 100g against 376 for a typical puppy kibble

Worth watching

Wheat meal and wheat both sit high, so a wheat-sensitive pup should skip it
Salmon and salmon oil alongside the chicken
