Are you looking to switch up your dog’s food, but you’re unsure whether to go for air-dried dog food?
There are so many options within the dog food market in the UK – including air-dried food, raw dog food, freeze-dried raw, customized kibble and more.
It can be confusing trying to decide which dog food brand is the best fit for your canine companion, seeing as there’s no shortage of potential options.
Pure Pet Food is a Yorkshire-based dog food company who have created a range of air-dried dog food options to help dogs live happier and healthier lives.
We’ll take a close look at how Pure Pet Food works, highlighting the different recipes on offer and give our verdict on this pet food brand.
Pure Pet Food
Pure Pet Food is one of the leading air-dried dog food companies in the UK, thanks to their healthy range of recipes.
Pure finely chop the ingredients in their recipes before slowly air drying to ensure all the nutritional goodness and flavour is locked in.
By taking such care to chop the ingredients into really small pieces, Pure believes their meals are more gentle on your dog’s digestive system.
The air drying process is a natural form of preservation, so Pure doen’t need to add any preservatives and can avoid harmful high-temperature cooking methods.
They only use natural ingredients in their vet-approved recipes, so you won’t find any additives, fillers or other nasties in Pure’s recipes.
How It Works
It’s pretty simple to get started with Pure Pet Food.
You’ll have to visit their homepage and start by filling out their questionnaire so Pure Pet Food can get an insight into your dog’s characteristics and habits.
Pure will ask about your dog’s age, breed, sex, weight, eating habits, and activity level, as well as check for any potential allergies or behavioral issues.
Once they’ve got an understanding of your dog and what makes them tick, Pure will suggest some potential recipes that could keep your four-legged friend happy.
Their recipes include Beef, Chicken, Duck, Herring, Lamb, Salmon and Turkey. It’s a great range that can cater to all dogs, irrespective of their preferences.
Once you’ve signed up to their subscription service, Pure will ship your dog’s food straight to your door and you can get started feeding Pure.
How To Feed
Once you’ve got your hands on your first Pure Pet Food delivery, you can read through the materials included in your welcome box, such as feeding guidelines.
Pure provides a dog food scooper and water scooper so you can get your measurements spot on when it comes to preparing your dog’s food.
You’ll need to combine Pure’s air-dried dog food and some water before giving it a good mix to create a balanced and complete meal for your pooch.
It’s a little more effort on the part of the dog owner than some brands, such as Butternut Box, but it’s easy and quick to prepare your dog’s Pure food.
You won’t have to worry about making space in your fridge or freezer because Pure Pet Food can be stored in a dry and cool location.
Price
Pure Pet Food provides a customized service, so it’ll cost a little more than regular dog food, but it isn’t extortionate, either.
Based on Copper and Skye, I could expect to pay around £1.50 a day or just over £45 a month.
Pure Pet Food does offer 25% off your first box and 10% off your second box if you’re a new customer. You can check out this offer when you land on their homepage.
Our Verdict
If you’re familiar with Copper and Skye, you’ll probably know that we like to feed balanced and complete fresh meals rather than air-dried dog food.
At the current time, we’ve been feeding Butternut Box to our Alaskan Klee Kai based upon this preference but we have tried Pure Pet Food in the past.
If we were to switch to another dog food brand in the UK, Pure Pet Food would be one of two options that we would consider based on our past experiences.
When we were feeding Pure Pet Food to Copper and Skye, I was impressed with the quality of the food and how much they both enjoyed the meals.
I like that it can be stored in the cupboard, so you don’t have to sacrifice fridge/freezer space but still have confidence your dog is eating high-quality food.
It was a little more work to prepare their meals, but that’s a small price to pay for human-grade dog food that my dogs enjoyed eating.
Wrapping Up
We’ve reached the end of our review of Pure Pet Food.
While we do prefer Butternut Box if you’re looking for a dog food option in the UK, Pure Pet Food do a great job of creating healthy and tasty air-dried recipes.
We’ve previously fed Pure Pet Food to Copper and Skye – and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the brand to other dog owners looking for a fresh approach.
They’ve got a good range of options to cater to dogs, even fussy pooches or pups with sensitive tummies. These include seven protein options for British dogs.
