Webbox Naturals Adult Paté: Paté With Beef review

Name: Webbox Naturals Adult Paté: Paté With Beef
Brand: Webbox

42.4/100Average

WetAdult

Flavour

Smooth tray dinners in beef, salmon and chicken, all three in our Average band. The analysis is the stronger half, with protein converting to 50.0% of dry matter and very little starch. The ingredient lists give almost nothing away: beyond the 5% named animal, you cannot tell what meat is in the tray.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs that prefer a soft, spoonable paté
A small dog. Each tray is one sitting, with nothing to cover and keep
Dogs on a gentle analysis, fat at 5.0% of the tray
Swapping flavours through the week within one recipe family
Dogs who could do with more water

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives on every list, so the animals are unknown beyond the named 5%
Various sugars in the beef and salmon trays, there for palatability
Land animal meat in the salmon tray, so it is no fish-only diet

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adult dogs of every size. The label asks 600 to 900 grams a day for a 15kg dog, so a bigger dog gets through several trays.

The score, in context

Paté 43.6
Paté 42.4
With Chicken In Gravy 39.6

All three Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis would carry these trays higher; the thin meat description is what holds all three back.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivatives (beef)5% beefA legal category that covers any warm blooded land animal in any proportion. Only the beef carries a figure.
Minerals
Various sugarsAdded to make the bowl appealing; it does nothing to feed the dog.

Vitamin D3, vitamin E, zinc, copper and manganese sulphates and biotin, a dose against every entry.

Named ingredients

Meat and Animal Derivatives (Beef 5%), Minerals, Various Sugars.

Against the range

Meat term: No overall figure; Only the chicken tray gives one, at 50%
Sugars: Various sugars; Salmon has them too; chicken swaps in cereals
Energy: Our estimate; no figure printed; The salmon is the densest of the three

The plainest of the three, for a dog that likes beef.

Three smooth paté trays, all written in category terms. Meat and animal derivatives leads every list and the headline animal is declared at 5%. The analysis is shared: protein at 50.0% of dry matter, fat at 27.8%, carbohydrate estimated at 6.6% and moisture at 82.0%.

What varies is the tail. Beef and salmon carry various sugars; the chicken tray swaps them for unnamed cereals and inulin at 0.1%, and is the only one to put a figure on its meat term. All three share one added panel, dosed entry by entry.
