Is Small Breed Dog Food Formula The Right Size For My Dog?
Every small dog owner goes through this. Will this new food be the right size for my dog? Will the kibble size be too big or too small? Will it be a size and consistency he or she will eat? How many times have I been sent a small breed formula to check out for Davinia and Indiana only to open the bag and find the kibble to be way too small. On the other hand how many times have we tried a new food and when I get the bag home the kibble pieces are fit for a Great Dane. The problem is that when it comes to dog food if you aren’t able to get a sample size to check things out first you are sort of flying blind.
Pure Essentials heard our frustration. Actually they heard all dog owners and said wait we can solve this problem. Pure Essentials said hey we can put a window on our bag so you can see exactly what size the food is. Now you don’t have to guess if the picture of the kibble on the bag is actual size. Just turn the bag to the side and look through the clear window!
With so many dog food brands now including fruits and vegetables in their formula it is hard to know which brand is the best. Not to worry Pure Essentials knows you want to be able to see the fruits and vegetables in every scoop of food and so they include pieces of dried cranberries, carrots, garden peas, and apples for your dog to enjoy. Not only do the pieces of dried fruits and vegetables look visually appealing to you as a dog owner but it also means they are less processed than if they were cooked in the food. Win-win. Prettier to look at and serve and they retain more of the important vitamins and minerals your dog needs.
While I cannot tell you if Pure Essentials Small Breed Formula is the right size kibble for your dog you can easily figure that out the next time you visit your local Pet Supply Store. Take a walk down the Nature’s Recipe Aisle and look for the NEW Pure Essentials line Pull the bag off of the shelf and look at the side. Yep that is the window so you can see the actual food.
Along with Small Breed Formula they also offer Puppy, Adult, Large Breed, and Senior Dog formulas. All of the formulas have the clear window so you can see the food and all of the formulas include the dried fruit and vegetables.
Want a little incentive to visit the store? Does a $400 Gift Card to PetSmart sound like motivation to head over to the store and check out Pure Essentials? We thought so. That is why we are offering this Giveaway to you. $400 will buy you a lot of Pure Essentials Dog Food but that is ok because along with their Dry Food they offer an extensive line of canned food that comes in two sizes along with treats and dental chews!

I love that you can see the food through the bag! Sometimes the kibble for large breeds is so small that my pyrs could snort it up their noses.

I love that it is grain free, small kibble and good for my 2 little guys..
This sounds like just the thing for me and Kenzie… Is the bag really pink? #DudesDontDoPink BOL! But we eat great food!
The bag isn’t pink. Just our bowl. We had to pick up a new bowl when we did our initial photo-shoot for this campaign so that we could have some water. Modeling is tiring work. I am sure you can find a nice Blue or Black or Green Bowl to eat out of.

I learned a lot about the ingredients and love the clear window. I learned about the variety of pieces included. I have 7 small dogs that would love to win this.
We may be kitties, but our woofie cousin, Bandit, is having lots of allergies to his dog food and we’d love to win this for him to see if he could “stomach” it. He’s a Shih Tzu mix.

I learned about Healthy Weight:
Arthritis in dogs is a serious condition with different causes. Sometimes it is genetic, but other times, it’s a symptom of a dog being overweight or not having enough calcium. That’s why it’s important to us that we make a food that utilizes a blend of glucosamine and chondroitin, the natural components in your dog’s cartilage.
Potential Benefits
Bone density
Flexibility
Over thirty years ago, we began our journey, to seek out and share nature’s ideal recipes for pets and their families. And we stand by the same belief today – that healthy nutrition is based on the embodiment of nature’s perfection.
Because when ingredients are picked and paired purposefully, our pets and our relationships thrive. That’s why we uncover nature’s essential goodness – to inspire the goodness in shared meals and moments.
Thanks for the contest.
