Aldo
This is Aldo our 10-month-old French Bulldog. I have recently started feeding Pure to my Frenchie who has food allergies. I mix it with his home-cooked diet. It is a great way to ensure that he is getting all of the nutrients that he needs. He absolutely loves it! It is early days but his itching from his allergies seem to be improving. I have been recommending to other Frenchie owners as I frequently get asked what I feed him on as his coat is so shiny.
Alfie
My fussy and often sensitive Bengal Alfie loves both varieties. He attempts to open the cupboard whilst the food quickly rehydrates and generally goes mad until he is fed. Looks great on it and is maintaining a healthy weight with a glossy coat.
Atlas
Really great food. I have a 6-month-old puppy that has grown up on this stuff. He absolutely loves it. Mix and match any of the recipes he doesn't mind, will eat em all. The vet has recently said how well he is and seems in very good health - especially the quality of his coat! So it is obviously doing something good! Just bought a whole load more.
