DryAdultSenior

Flavour

The calm end of Pure's air-dried range. Each recipe has one headline protein and a short plant list with a figure against every entry. The Salmon keeps to fish alone on a grain-free base, and all four sit in our Outstanding band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Dogs whose digestion is easily upset; animal counts stay low and everything is named
Prebiotics in the food: chicory root and MOS on all four
Stiff or older dogs, with glucosamine and chondroitin on every recipe
A dog kept off land meat. The Salmon is fish only
Fish-reactive dogs, as the three land recipes carry no fish
Adult and senior dogs fed from one bag

Worth watching

Brown rice in the Chicken, Turkey and Game
Two birds in the Game, so no single-protein plan
Pea protein lifts the Salmon's protein figure
Potato and rice do real work, so measure portions for an easy gainer

The choice for a dog kept off land meat or off grain, with the fullest added panel.

Each recipe splits its headline meat into parts, dehydrated meat and its own fat, all weighed after the water is out. Potato leads the base on all four, with brown rice on three; the Salmon swaps rice for sweet potato and pea protein. Carbohydrate lands between 43.3% and 47.4% of dry matter.

The same tail closes every label: spinach, carrot, algae for omega 3, chicory root and MOS, glucosamine and chondroitin, each with a figure. No fish appears on the Chicken, Turkey or Game. Moisture is not declared, so dry matter figures assume 12%.
