Webbox Naturals Puppy Paté review

Name: Webbox Naturals Puppy Paté
Brand: Webbox

60.9/100Good

WetPuppy

A soft, spoonable puppy pâté with a genuinely meaty analysis and a label that says very little about what is in the tin. It lands in our Good band. The numbers are respectable growth numbers, and the gaps are all of one kind: categories where names should be.

Where to buy: coming soon

Live retailer links are coming soon. Once we have them from UK retailers, where to buy and the best price will appear here.

Our view

Likely to suit

Puppies who take to a smooth pâté, easy for small mouths
A meaty, low-starch bowl
Pups who need water coming in with their food, at 81.0% declared moisture
Small 150g tins, so nothing gets half used
A prebiotic for the gut, with inulin at 0.1%

Worth watching

Meat given as a category, so a household avoiding one animal cannot tell either way
Broad plant entries too, which makes elimination feeding hard
No calcium figure, which a large breed growth plan needs

The score, in context

Webbox Naturals Puppy Paté 60.9

All one Good. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The analysis earns its marks; how little the label commits to is what costs it.

What's in it

Meat and animal derivatives55%A legal heading covering almost any warm-blooded land animal. Nothing on the tin says what went in.
Chicken5%Palatable and gentle on most young digestions.
Liver5%Rich in B vitamins, vitamin A, copper and selenium. No species given.
Vegetables (carrots)4%Only the carrots are named.
Minerals
Derivatives of vegetable origin (inulin)0.1%Inulin from chicory root feeds gut bacteria. The heading could cover much else.

A short panel of vitamin D3, vitamin E and biotin with zinc, manganese and copper; no added vitamin A, though the liver is a rich natural source.

No calcium figure printed. For a large breed growth plan, get the number from the maker.
