DryAdultSenior

A lamb kibble for older dogs, built on wholegrains, in our Good band. The joint package has numbers on it: glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and MSM at 150 mg/kg each. Fed to the dog it names, an older lamb eater with stiffening joints, it does what it promises.

Our view

Likely to suit

Older dogs suited by a lighter fat level, 10.0% as declared
Joint support you can compare bag to bag
Lamb eaters; no other meat is named
An adult and an older dog fed from one label
A little digestive help from chicory root and yeast

Worth watching

Poultry fat and gravy name no bird, so a dog kept strictly off chicken cannot be steered around them
Salmon oil puts fish on the label
Carbohydrate at an estimated 48.3% of dry matter, and no moisture declared

The score, in context

Webbox Natural Dry Complete Senior 55.5

All one Good. Typical dry food: Good.

Squarely mainstream: a modest meat share and a cereal base hold it back, and a label willing to put a figure on everything holds it up.

What's in it

Lamb meal27%Already dried, so little of the share disappears in the oven. Easy on a dog raised on chicken.
Wholegrain maize27%
Wholegrain rice, wholegrain barley17%, 15%Whole grains keep the fibre and micronutrients milling strips away.
Beet pulpThe fermentable fibre.
Poultry fat, poultry gravyA family, not a species: chicken, turkey, duck or goose.
Salmon oil, linseed1% salmon oilMarine and plant omega 3.
Dried peas, dried carrots1%, 0.5%Seasoning, not a vegetable course.
Seaweed meal, chicory root extract, yeastIodine, and the two prebiotics.
Glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, MSM150 mg/kg each, written into the list.
Yucca, rosemary, citrus and marigold extracts

Vitamins A, D3 and E, every trace element printed with its dose, and natural mixed tocopherols to keep it fresh.
