Husse Sterilised review

A solid, honest dry food. 32% declared meat content is respectable, and the label keeps too much vague. Feeding it costs about 50p a day for a typical adult dog - the breakdown below shows exactly what that buys.

Our analysis

Breaking the 65 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 22.5 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is declared meat content at 15 of 15.

The label declares 32% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

At about 50p 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 broadly does.

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 = £0.49 / day, £14.90 / 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, £3.46 / 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
