Is Wolfitbox Beef a good dog food?
We score it 60/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Why this score?
The score is 60 out of 100. Undeclared ingredient shares, meaning ingredients without printed percentages, contributed -10.6. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +7.8, and the processing format contributed -2.4. Being labelled nutritionally complete contributed +2.3.
100% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.
- Recipe60
- Nutritionallow100
- Transparency60
- Safety100
- EvidenceNot recorded
The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.
Why you might choose it
- Scores 60, in the top quarter of fresh foods we track.
- Doesn't list grain ingredients.
- A minimally processed format: kept frozen, not heat-treated.
Why you might not
- 100% of the recipe mass has no printed percentage, so the exact split cannot be verified.
- Needs freezer space and defrosting before serving.

Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges
How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for adult dogs. The label prints as-fed values; we convert to a dry-matter basis before scoring, and the bands are dry-matter ranges. Scores rise to 100 at the band midpoint: the reference is adequacy, not maximisation. Nutrients with a published upper limit taper again above it; fat is policed through calorie density rather than a direct penalty.
Guaranteed-analysis FEDIAF score: crude minimums and maximums are bounds, not typical values; moisture (a maximum) uses the processing median where available; experimental US score.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 14 | 50 (band 18 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 7.6 | 27.1 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 1 | 3.6 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 121 | 432.1 | 100 |
Scored over 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 72% from the food type.
Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture estimated from the food type.
This measures agreement with published reference ranges, not suitability for an individual dog. For medical conditions, follow veterinary guidance.
Transparency: what the label discloses
How much the manufacturer discloses, measured against the FEDIAF Code of Good Labelling Practice and Regulation 767/2009. Mandatory items dominate the weighting.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (voluntary) - not on file | 0/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) | 5/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Batch and date labelling).
Safety: recall history
Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.
No recalls recorded in our database.
Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it
The claims made on the pack and product page, checked against the declared label. We record claims as stated; "consistent" means our stored label data supports the claim, "contradicted" means it conflicts with it. Functional claims are recorded but never scored.
Claims on file; none we can check against the label
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ginger supports digestion, reduces bloating and soothes inflammation (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Turmeric provides antioxidants, boosts joint health and protects the liver (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Ginger contains many antioxidants that improve motion sickness, blood circulation, nausea, gastrointestinal problems and bloating. Ginger is also a natural anti-inflammatory and helps dogs with arthritis whilst in some studies it's also been shown to help prevent and fight cancer (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant that boasts natural and effective anti-inflammatory effects and protects the liver from toxins. There is evidence to suggest that the curcumin found in turmeric has cancer fighting properties too (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
