our rating

Is Husse Complete, Large Breeds a good dog food?

We score it 46/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.

How we score

Why this score?

This food achieves an overall score of 46 out of 100. Printing percentages on the label is a positive factor that contributed +3.2 points. However, ingredients without printed percentages reduced the score by -12.4 points, the processing format removed -7 points, and the carbohydrate content contributed -3 points to the final calculation.

95% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.

Complete extruded dry food for adult dogs, with dried animal protein, wheat and wheatfeed pellets as the main ingredients.

Who is this food for?

Suits

  • Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
  • Labelling or feeding guide is aimed at large dogs

Consider something else if:

  • Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists dried chicken protein
  • Your dog avoids grain: the label lists wheat
