32.3/100Average

DryAdult

An uncomplicated, filling ration for dogs that work, in our Average band because the label names so little. Beef at 4% is the only animal it identifies. Strip out the 28.0% moisture and protein reads 29.9% of dry matter.

The score, in context

Webbox Working Dog Complete Dry 32.3

All one Average. Typical dry food: Good.

The gap to the typical adult kibble is almost all about naming, with colourants pulling a little further; once the water is out, the analysis is not the picture of an empty bowl.

What's in it

Cereals (barley, wheat, oats)At least the bracket names them. Barley and oats digest well once cooked; wheat is the one tied most often to intolerance.
Meat and animal derivatives (beef in red disc)beef 4%A legal heading for warm-blooded land animals. Only the beef is identified.
Derivatives of vegetable origin (yucca in triangle)yucca 0.02%
Oils and fatsNo source given.
Vegetable protein extracts (soya)Plant protein that lifts the analysis more than it feeds the dog.
Vegetables
MineralsAsh at 13.9% of dry matter points to a fair amount of bone and mineral.

Vitamins A, D3 and E and six trace elements, each with a declared amount, alongside colourants listed as sensory additives.

Colourants are declared. They do nothing for the dog.

Moisture is 28.0%, so a bag holds less dry food than its weight suggests.

Named ingredients

Cereals (Contains Barley, Wheat, Oats), Meat and Animal Derivatives (4% Beef in Red Disc), Derivatives of Vegetable Origin (0.02% Yucca in triangle), Oils and Fats, Vegetable Protein Extracts (Contains Soya), Vegetables, Minerals. *Red Disc typically 35% of product, Triangle typically 10% of product, For allergens, see ingredients in bold.

Against the range

One kibble described almost entirely in category terms. Beef is the only named animal, at 4% inside a red disc the label says is typically 35% of the product. Moisture is declared at 28.0%, far wetter than a normal kibble, so the dry-matter figures firm up a long way.
