Canidae Pure Sky review

An Excellent band result puts Pure Sky a step ahead of the typical adult dry food, which lands in our Good band. Transparency reads Outstanding, with protein and processing and nutritional balance both at Good. Short recipes often shed marks for what they leave out, but the paired fresh and dried duck keeps the meat share honest and the analysis holds its end up.

Ingredients, as declared: Duck (16%), Dried Duck Meat (16%), Dried Turkey Meat (16%), Sweet Potato (16%), Peas (16%), Chicken Fat, Potatoes, Suncured Alfalfa, Gravy.

Duck arrives twice, fresh at 16% and dried at 16%, and the doubling is the clever part: the fresh brings the taste while the dried holds its protein through the oven. With dried turkey meat adding another 16%, protein reaches 35.6% of dry matter.

Sweet potato at 16% and peas at 16% shoulder the starch with potatoes in support. Carbohydrate is estimated at 31.1% of dry matter, comfortably beneath the 46.2% typical for an adult kibble.

Chicken fat is the energy and flavour engine, an effective and well-liked choice, though it adds a third bird to the recipe and matters to anyone steering around chicken in particular.

Suncured alfalfa brings minerals, and the gravy at the tail adds palatability without naming its source, the one blind spot on an otherwise readable label.

It ships in two bag sizes, 1.8kg and 10.8kg.

Roughly 243 grams a day covers a 15kg adult in moderate condition, using the standard maintenance figure of about 840 kcal (110 × bodyweight^0.75); let condition set the final scoop.
