Husse was founded in Sweden in 1987. Now the brand’s product range includes a wide range of premium, super-premium and holistic food, as well as nutritional supplements, treats and accessories. Feed produced by Husse occupies the highest positions in European ratings.
In 2022, Husse was recognized as “Brand of the Year 2019-2020”.
Feed composition
As an example, let’s look at the composition of OPUS OCEAN food, a grain-free food for all breeds.
- dehydrated salmon meal 45%;
- potatoes 15%;
- peas 15%;
- flaxseed 5% - healthy fatty acids;
- vegetable fibers 3% - fiber;
- yeast - B vitamins;
- hydrolyzed animal protein - natural flavoring;
- salmon oil 1% - a valuable ingredient, contains vitamins and fatty acids;
- fructooligosaccharides 0.3% - prebiotics;
- seaweed - iodine;
- marigolds are antioxidants and bioflavonoids.
Feed analysis:
- protein 38.0%;
- fat 18%;
- raw ash 8.5%;
- crude fiber 4.0%;
- calcium 1.5%;
- phosphorus 1.0%;
- omega-3 fatty acids 2%;
- omega-6 fatty acids 1.3%.
Energy value of feed 4040 Kcal
The main ingredient of the food is dehydrated salmon (almost half of the composition) - a highly valuable, easily digestible ingredient. Peas and potatoes are used as a source of carbohydrates, but even in total their content is less than salmon meal.
No grains are used in the food at all, so the product is safe for animals with a negative reaction to gluten and food allergies to grains.
Due to its high nutritional value, even miniature dogs require a dosage of 17 g or less per 1 kg of weight. And for large dogs, 7-9 g per 1 kg is enough. Thus, feed consumption is minimal compared to feeds of other classes.

Reviews from dog breeders about Husse food
Most dog breeders noted the quality of Husse food.
Ekaterina We have five dogs and they have been eating Husse food for quite some time. Everyone's coat is shiny, especially the Yorkshire Terrier's; no allergies have been noticed either. Recently I was at an exhibition with my 10-year old Labrador, where they became the best veteran of the World Cup. Experts noted that the dog is in excellent shape for its age, has expressive eyes and a shiny coat, and also has free movement and power. Thanks to the creators of this food for the excellent health of my pets.
Nikolai. My Russian Toy Terrier dog has been eating Husse Optimal Mini food for six months now. I really like the structure of the food - the granules are neither hard nor soft. For a small dog - the best option. In 6 months we ate almost two packages of 7 kg each. The dog is always active, cheerful, the hair does not fall out, the ears and eyes do not run, the stool is regular and of good consistency. Husse is a very high quality food.
Price
Like other high-end European foods, Husse's price is quite high. This is due to the quality of the ingredients, modern equipment at the manufacturing plant and delivery to Russia. But for owners who want to feed their animals with quality products, this is not an obstacle.
Feed packages start at 2 kg, and breeder feed is available in 20 kg bags.
The approximate cost depends on the size of the package. For bags weighing 12 kg or more, the price starts from 250 rubles. Thus, by purchasing a large package, you can save significantly.
The cost of grain-free food is slightly higher due to the high meat content in the composition: from 650 rubles/kg in 12 kg packages.
Prices may vary depending on region.
