Husse Senior review

A middling dry food - fine, with clear compromises. Just 15% declared meat content, and the label keeps too much vague. Feeding it costs about 51p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Where the points went

The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 52/100 across 18 ingredients (declared percentages used for 3, position estimates for the rest). Named meat is only 22% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
20.4 / 40
Label clarity
Vague category terms on the label (Hydrolyzed Animal Protein) - naming points withheld; percentages cover 20% of the recipe (+1.2); meat sources named (+2); variable-composition wording - fixed-formula points withheld.
3.2 / 15
Additives
No artificial colours, flavours, controversial preservatives or added sugars found.
10 / 10
Red flags
No red-flag ingredients.
0 / 0
Meat content
Meat content ~41% fresh-equivalent (added up from every named meat on the label; dried meats counted at their fresh weight). Held to dry-matter protein: 23.9% DM protein supports this level of meat credit, not the full declared figure.
12.9 / 15
Nutritional balance
Estimated carbohydrate 57% dry matter (very high); fat 9.8% DM in the healthy band; fibre 3.3% DM (+2); ash 6.5% DM - sensible mineral load (+2); functional extras: omega-3 source, pre/probiotics, named botanicals (+2).

Processing

Our analysis

Breaking the 59 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 20.4 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.

The label declares 15% meat, which is a low figure, and a declared low figure is still more honest than silence, and the ingredient list leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

At about 51p a day to feed a 10kg dog, the question is not whether it is cheap but whether the label justifies the price - and on our scoring, it does not.

Feeding & cost

What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 10 kg adult dog needs about 143 g a day = £0.51 / day, £15.50 / month.

How we work this out
  1. Energy: an adult dog at rest needs about 95 × weight0.75 kcal a day (the FEDIAF maintenance formula - a 10 kg dog works out near 534 kcal).
  2. Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 373 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £3.59 / kg, for the daily cost, then by 30.4 days for the month.

Estimates scale to your dog's weight and the food's calorie density - a denser food needs fewer grams. A rough guide; always follow the pack. Try the full feeding calculator
