My dog has stage 2 kidney disease and she loves this food alternating between the low purine and the kidney support, kidney levels are stable, but I’d love to know why there’s such a price difference between the two? If anything I’d have thought the purine would be pricier as it supports liver and heart also? Thanks

I forgot to mention that I tried contacting customer support to see if they'd be able to cater to our diet (much like Tails might) and I got a flat out "NO, our recipes is based off nutritionists and vets advice". My response was that their vet and nutritionist receive more training as it has been discovered by the FDA that there is a causal link between excessive carbs and legumes in dog food and dilated cardiomyopathy. I told them if they are going to advertise their food as good for the heart, then they had better research the ingredients thoroughly and actually consult a specialist. I cancelled my subscription immediately. So angry that their fatty foods have impacted my dog in such a short space of time. DO NOT BUY IF YOUR PET HAS KIDNEY OR HEART ISSUES! They do not have a specialist who consulted them on ingredients!!

We've been on Pure for a little over 6 months to cater for my little dog's heart murmur (very very mild) and sensitive tummy. We had our first echocardiogram 10 months ago and it was the same heart size as the previous year and still looking healthy. A month ago she was showing signs of breathing heavy so we checked her heart again and the size had increased to the point she now needs meds. Our cardiologist looked at our new diet and found Pure replaces grains with a mega ton of carbs and legume content, which actually causes canine dilated cardiomyopathy. Legumes and potatoes are very bad for dogs with heart murmurs. Pure advertised their recipes as good for dogs with heart issues, and yet their recipes my cardiologist believes has influences her heart increase as there are no other changes to her diet, lifestyle, etc. that could cause this massive change in less than 8 months!

So... Need to leave a review for Pure because it's helped us with a few issues

First one being itching. Mack was TERRIBLE. It was constant gnawing at himself scratching.. that has reduced a HUGE amount .. secondly stools. They were never firm.. this has improved on pure also. Although have to say often bits aren't digested properly as others have mentioned. He went off one flavour (herring) I contacted customer services and they sent me out a taster of another flavour before I opened the big bag . Which was handy because he was happy with the Lamb... he will also eat the herring again, might have been bordem...

There are a few things though that I'm still a little iffy with

Portions.. when we signed up Mack was to have 4 scoops a day.. he'd been unwell and due to the food being good he put on 2.5 kg in two weeks excellent but also meant he wasn't being sustained...contacted them and was advised to up his scoops to 7 which I did.. was given a permanent discount also as this then almost doubled how much we needed.... Fast forward a few weeks his growth slowed down I could reduce. My online portal said nothing about the change in need though... So I updated his details on his account. It again said he requires 4 scoops . Instead of three?? I was never advised to feed him three .. 4 doesn't sustain him. Contacted them again and as just told that 4 should sustain him... Not helpful. Just been on the website and put his details in again and now it's saying 5 scoops .. so yeah, the portions bit seems a bit faulty somehow. I also think certain flavours sustain him better. Herring doesn't. He is barking at me hours before tea time demanding a meal... The lamb sustains him better .. last issue WIND...My God he farts all day every day. Contacted them and was advised to try a different flavour and I could buy some probiotics to try. I bought the probiotics and am waiting for them to arrive. We also have another flavour coming in this order to try...

Over all I like the food. The niggles I have I hopefully can iron out. I'm really not wanting to try a 6th brand of food for the sake of some farts and portion mishaps as I am hoping getting the right balance will sort these issues too. I have always found customer service to be of a good standard. He's a happier dog, the farts don't bother him, his coat is amazing, the itching vastly improved and so are the stools. I'm hoping the probiotics help but they are pricey!! Pure try hard to keep the customers happy and I'm happy to keep trying to tweak things so it's spot on.

It does come out as the top scoring fresh food alongside Different dog.

Canagan has changed this year since production has been moved to Germany. Please read the Trust Pilot reviews all these owners are not wrong, they know their animals and what suits them.

I am moving my Yorkie terrier who has digestive issues over from Dried Kibble to Wet food as I think her current food has changed and is giving her issues

So my question is Tuggs a good place to start also she does not eat a lot so are the pouches small

Enough ?

Aidie

My collie has loved being on butternut since September with no issues until his first pouch of the latest batch. Explosive diarrhoea. And the smell. Now scared to give him anymore from that batch.

Canagan is not now manufactured in the UK it is produced in Germany

My dog loves this! Recommended by the vet after a dental we are hoping it helps and we avoid to many teeth troubles.

Cheers Liam, must just be all our fault then.

I’ve been feeding my dog Tuggs Chicken Coup, and he loves it! His energy and coat have improved so much. It feels great knowing he’s eating something healthy and fresh.

Looking to purchase this food, but would like to know more about feeding practices, could somebody from Tails or customers with experience tell me a bit more about how I would know how much to feed?
