In general, unless your dog has health issues, you probably won't have to worry about these figures. Click here for more information
Mixing bowl composition
This is the ingredients list as printed on the packaging or manufacturer's website.
Think of the 'mixing bowl' composition like a recipe - all the ingredients you would need to put in a 'mixing bowl' in order to make the food.
Ingredients have to be listed in descending order of their weight so the higher it appears, the more there is.
Highlighted ingredients
Ingredients that we believe to be controversial or inferior are highlighted in yellow with particularly low grade, highly contentious or excessively vague ingredients in red.
As fed composition
While the 'mixing bowl' composition is useful for knowing what went into the food, it doesn't always reflect what your dog is actually eating. This is because the processes that turn the ingredients into the finished pet food can significantly alter the relative weights of the ingredients.
For this reason we've calculated the approximate 'as fed' percentages for the main ingredient categories in the finished product.
Please note that these figures are very approximate. They are estimates based on the information provided by the manufacturer in the ingredients list so the clearer the terminology and the more percentages they provide, the more accurate our estimates will be. Wherever information is lacking, we always assume the worst.
Ingredient categories
◉ Meat ingredients: includes all meat and fish ingredients except isolated fats/oils.
◉Added oils and fats: includes all isolated oil and fat ingredients.
◉ Carb-rich ingredients: includes all ingredients derived from grains, pseudo-grains, potatoes and other starchy root vegetables, sweet potato and legumes (except whole peas which are categorised under fruit and veg) except for isolated protein and extracted oils. Also includes fibre supplements.
◉ Fruit and veg: includes all whole vegetables and fruits.
◉ Other: all other ingredients. Mostly made up by nutritional supplements and additives.
For more information on any ingredient, please take a look at our Dog Food Ingredient Glossary
The dry matter level of a nutrient is the percentage there would be in the food if all of the water was removed.
With water taken out of the equation, these figures allow the nutrient levels of foods of different types (like wet and dry) to be compared on an even playing field.

80.00 out of 100 - Excellent
Our unique product ratings are calculated based on a number of characteristics including the quality and quantity of the stated ingredients, certain nutritional and technological additives and the processing methods used to create the food. They are designed to indicate how beneficial we think a food is likely to be for the majority of dogs when fed on a daily basis for an extended period. Click here for more information
Country of origin:United Kingdom
A technological additive is any substance added to a pet food "for a technological purpose and which favourably affects the characteristics of feed".
The most common categories of technological additives include preservatives and antioxidants, gelling agents and thickeners and probiotics.
While the primary effects of technoloical additives are certainly 'favourable' (increased shelf life in the case of preservatives & antioxidants, better food texture and consistency in the case of gelling agents and thickeners etc.) some have been linked to health problems in pets and should be treated with caution.
Unfortunately, many technological additives do not have to be declared by the manufacturer so just because they do not appear on the label does not necessarily mean they are not in the food. If in doubt, ask the manufacturer directly exactly what technological additives their foods contain.

We have an epileptic dog, we switched to Pure as we just don’t have the room to store raw and wet food for two large dogs and even the best kibble we found was a trigger for seizures. We’ve been using Pure for around 8 months and he’s had one seizure in that time, triggered by non-food related incident. Really happy with this product and reassured it’s rated well on here as welltechichi •11 days ago
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!techichi

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!!Maniac.Mack •12 days ago
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.Jules •21 days ago
I've used this for over a year now as my GSD has an allergy to chicken and egg and also has colitis. They cater for all her needs and she's thrived ever since I changed her to Pure. Shop bough food almost killed her as they use hugh amounts of chicken to bulk out in all flavours of foods, the lowest content I found was 30%!! She loves her Pure recipes, she has a choice of 3 flavours so again, not bound by her allergies. This company has literally saved my dog!!! other companies e.g Butternut Box, won't cater for colitis.Sharon •one month ago
Bought trial of Pure, Turkey and Salmon. Easy to mix, I added a little more water, and I think it needs some time to rehydrate rather than serve straight away, which isn’t easy as my dog is so keen to get into the bowl! She absolutely loves it, licking the bowl completely clean. No problems with transition, well formed stools.Mollie •2 months ago
Hi how do I calculate the dried matter basis for the food to ensure I have the correct fat content as our dog has pancreatitisGaz74

You can choose pancreatitis on the tab when selecting what ailments your dog has, think its about 3.5% fat My dog has pancreatitis and doing well on this food for the last 4 months :)Mark Todd •3 months ago
Our Lab seems to have a bit of a sensitive stomach. Her tummy was always gurgling and she was very windy 🙄 We tried various combinations of wet and dry and differing brands but couldn't find the best solution. Eventually we came across Pure and we've been using it for a couple of months now. So far, no gurgling substantially reduced wind. Her coat is glossy and feels softer, and she loves it. Delivery has been good and customer service, not that we've needed much, has been spot on. Best resealable storage bags EVER.Samuel •3 months ago
If you are based in Northern Ireland I would think twice about subscribing to Pure. First delivery arrived after 6 days, the second after 9 days and the third didn’t arrive at all. I have to admit that their customer service was fantastic and issued me a full refund on my third order but ultimately I had to cancel and go with Butternut Box which has next day delivery and is only a little more expensive. It’s a shame as my dog was doing well on Pure but not worth the stress of “will my order arrive on time†Jenny •5 months ago
Hi, my dog has been on this food for a few months ths but like a lot of people here he does not digest the rice It comes out the same way ot goes in, so I am assuming no nutrients are being derived from the rice. Could the recipe be changed ir the rice less dried as it does not change consistency even when left to absorb the water. He is on the food for sensitive skin. There appears to be quite a lot of rice in the composition too. Thanks JennyPurePet

Good Afternoon, I am sorry to hear your dog isn't digesting the brown rice in our recipes very well, we do have grain free recipe options that may be worth trying if this is a repeat issue. We use brown rice in our recipes as this is a complex carbohydrate full of natural fibre, which helps your dog’s digestion and slowly releases energy throughout the day. It’s also an excellent source of healthy vitamins and minerals. Specifically, vitamins D and B essential for a healthy heart. If there's anything we can assist with please get in touch at hello@purepetfood.co.uk. Kind RegardsRichieBuddy •5 months ago
Our Shih Tzu Buddy was so fussy. We started him in Pure with some meat added. It’s really great seeing him clear his bowl so often. Not ALL recipes work for him so DO find one that suits your dog. Not a fan of the Hard rice though as he tends to throw them up in the Duck Recipe.PurePet

We’ve been feeding purepetfood to our dachshund for a while now and he loves it, as does our 5 month old poodle, who we were told are very fussy eaters, i think dog food is a very contentious issue sometimes and its a minefield, because we all want the best for our pets, the actual food is not always at fault, it just doesn’t suit all dogs, but our dogs happen to like this and it suits them, budget plays a big part when deciding which food to buy so i find pure is the middle of the roadPurePet

I've just switched to Pure for my puppy and senior girls. I have explored all types of feed and was recently using raw and I found it did nothing but give my pup extremely awful farts and grossed me out dishing it up, not forgetting the nasty bacteria that comes with it (not knocking anyone who feeds their dog raw, just not for me and my dogs) I've never fully trusted packet wet food either. My senior is a fussy eater and my pup will eat just about anything. But I've made the switch to Pure and I can say that I've seen an improvement already and it's not even been 2 weeks. No more smelly farts. My senior and pup lick the bowls clean every time. I cannot wait to see the other benefits after 6 weeks as promised by the creators of this. In my dogs opinions, clearly very tasty judging by their excitement and no trace left behind! And imo Sustainable and healthy food and lovely quality ingredients for my loved babies. Thank you Pure for this amazing product! 💖PurePet

I made a switch to Pure from a fresh dog food brand due to them raising prices constantly. My dog can be a fussy eater so was worried he wouldn’t like this as he loved his previous food, but he licks his bowl clean every time!! I am just over a week into the transition and no complaints so far. I do add a little bit more water though as my dog finds it difficult to lick the sides of the bowl as it gets stuck when I use the recommended amount of water. I LOVE the fact that it’s so easy to store and take away with you on trips. Also it’s super satisfying to make!! I’m telling all the pawrents about this amazing brand!!PurePet

Good Morning Thank you so much for the lovely comments and we're so pleased to hear your pooch is enjoying their Pure recipes. I always find leaving the food to sit for a few minutes after preparing and then mixing again with a fork creates a better texture. We have found dogs that usually struggle to eat the food get on much better preparing the food like this. Kind RegardsCris Teh Tanzi •8 months ago
Terrible food ! my dog id not like it so i did what they said and ease him in by mixing his normal food. he ended up throwing up badly onthe 4th day. When I asked for a refund they just said no...due to the fact I opened. the food even though they sent me 2 and one of them was not open. They simply said Hi Cristiana Thank you for your email. Unfortunately if you have opened the food then we cannot accept the food back to us for a refund due to cross contamination, it is unfortunate that your dog did not like the food but it does take some time for certain dogs to adjust to our food. Warmest Wishes Dermot McLoughlin Pure Pet Food I don't know what is in this food but my dog was already eating lightly cooked amazing fresh food ( by nature's menu ) so it's not like this food is so pure that he could not take it, he threw it all up so I don't recommend it at all ! I just wanted to try a portable option for when we travel but i made big mistake. £30 pounds literally in the toilet.PurePet

Good Morning Pure is very different to other dog food, we take 100% natural, human-quality ingredients and gently air dry them to remove the moisture and lock in the nutrients. This non-destructive process maintains ingredients' nutritional integrity This allows owners to feed a high-quality natural diet that isn't highly-processed, whilst still retaining some conveniences of dry dog food We also add in supplements for joint care, a natural prebiotic for digestion support and Omega 3 for skin care If there's anything we can help with please get in touch at hello@purepetfood.co.uk Kind RegardsCanine01 •8 months ago
My dog likes Pure but for the recipes that have rice, it is just too hard to hydrate hard rice even leaving it for 5 mins in warm water, I agree with Davids video where he notices this too, the rice is still hard, my dog can't digest the hard rice so throws up just the rice pieces, I therefore can only use the 3 Pure recipes that don't have rice but my dog loves Turkey, Duck, Herring etc. which all have rice, I wish Pure would remove rice from all of them, sometimes I do this manually by picking out all the hard pieces of rice. Could you use a softer substitute for rice?PurePet

My dog has been on pure for a year now. Although I’m not a fan of the look and smell of it myself, it has done wonders for a senior dogs bowel issues. Not only has it helped his digestive problems but he seems to really enjoy it and clears every bowl. I haven’t needed to contact them so can’t comment on the communication issues others have dealt with.PurePet

Like others I've found their dreadful communication a real issue. Emails go unanswered and when calling them put aside a chunk of your day. Couple that with a low score here and a dire website, I cancelled our subscription. We have 7 dogs and i wanted to trial it with one, so glad i took this option. The look and texture of the food is a very unappealing paste and gives my boy wind. Although more expensive, I'm staying with Different Dog. Their quality is second to none, great website and 100% reliable.PurePet

The "not clearly labelled" rating here is a bit incorrect - the stuff on the website is clearly labelled in the "recipes" section when you're choosing which one to buy, they just send it in generic bags. The boxes you can buy in stores have all the info clearly on them as you would expect. Maybe the site needs to rate the store-bought rather than the webstore stuff? I love this food for mine - he needs extra fibre so adding warm water makes the fibre pellets soften & I can merge it all in to one. Super easy peasy. I make it a tad on the stodgy side too so it sticks to the side of his food bowl & needs to lick it off slowly, rather than keep it in a wet lump that gets swallowed in seconds!PurePet

My Effie is a rescue with many stress issues. I looked for a high nutritional rate which would be good for mind too. Bad food can cause anxiety. Pure and the Yorkshire team have been brilliant. We've tried salmon, mackerel +chicken. Chicken failed I had to add extra veg, or Greek yoghurt to use it up. But she's loved the fish from the start. She lost weight and had way more energy. I have recently given he| Barking heads kibble in the morning as she doesn't seem to want to eat much. She's 10. Pure will help adjust the price to help you feed at a cheaper price. Can't recommend enough. (I add more water to powder!)PurePet

I have just started transitioning to Pure from Innocent Hound and so far so good. Although my dog enjoyed the Innocent Hound food, she seems to prefer Pure. Unlike one of the other reviewers, I found the instructions really clear - for my dog it's four scoops of food and four scoops of warm water per day, the scoops are marked up as 'food' and 'water'. I do vary the amount of water though but that is personal preference, and the instructions do state that you may prefer more or less water. Will see how it goes longer term as we're only just coming to the end of the first week.PurePet

Probably the weirdist dog food I have tried ! bizarre ! kind of smells familiar but cant quite place it. Have to say the dogs seem to love it .. too early to say how well they do on it. I am cheating a bit as I mix it with their Bella and Duke which they are not mad on and they have cleared their bowls since adding it. I am not the "one food to rule them all" type.. dogs would naturally forage all sorts of food. Really happy with the blend, as they are and its super convenient to keep a couple of bags of Pure on hand when you forget to defrost or you are going away etc... just have to get the ordering right as both B&D and Pure PF are subscription based and... errr.. expensive ! I'll report back on their condition.PurePet
