Title: Purely More meat- 70% in fact!
Post by: Debsymiller (Rufus' mum) on May 12, 2009, 22:15:30 PM

This month I went to PAH and found they have a new food in their 'purely' range- Purely More Meat which is 70% chicken. It's only a pound more and looking at it, it definitely seems better than the normal purely. Has anyone else tried it? It's £7.99 for 1.5kg of dry and I think that's a very good deal moneywise if it's as good as it seems. (I am no expert on nutritional values!) The cats are enjoying it too and actually seem to like it more than the Applaws, although they are not fussy puds- they'll kind of eat any dry in fact! It's with their wet food that they are snobs!

Oh and apologies if I have missed an existing thread on this, there are so many food ones I lose track!

I didn't see this when I went in on Sat - I dont normally check the dry food out, as I have god knows how many kilo's in the house, but I did look enough to see the new Applaws dry. I noticed their normal Purely but would have tried this.

I think theres abit of careful wording on the packet as the details say

Do they mean that 70% of the poultry meat meal is chicken not 70% of ingredients is chicken?  :-:

The normal purely is similar though MM, the front says 40% but the only % on the back is 26%.

The ingredients seem a lot better than the regular Purely - ie Probiotics, Omega oils etc.

I think the different chicken products add up to 70% of the whole food. :)
