Features of PURINA ONE dog food

The PURINA brand has been on the Russian market for only seven years, but has already won the favor of a fifth of buyers of pet products. It owns well-known brands under which variable lines of rations are produced: PRO PLAN, DOG CHOW and others. Beneficial features of PURINA ONE dog food for pet owners are the variety of species, focus on different weight and age categories, balanced composition and the presence of all the ingredients necessary for the full life of the animal.

PURINA ONE dog food, developed by a French company but manufactured in production facilities in Italy - targeted line for small pets classified as decorative breeds... Now many owners prefer to acquire such pets, which do not create inconvenience during transportation and living in the limited conditions of a city apartment.

However, PURINA ONE is distinguished by a variety of proposals, and it would be wrong to judge indiscriminately at once about the entire list. The feed from a well-known manufacturer with more than a century of reputation has its own tangible prerogatives and bonuses:

• meat, fish, poultry, cereals, dry protein, vitamins and minerals, vegetables - all this is added by the manufacturer to the feed;
• division of products under this name into 4 main lines: for adult pets, active and characterized by an exorbitant appetite, with a sensitive stomach and prone to allergic reactions;
• more than 19 types of products, differentiated not only by taste, but also by the capacity of the package, the intended purpose (there is detailed information about all this on each package with a well-thought-out design);
• there is a separate meal for puppies suffering from digestive problems, healthy or special needs, medium and small breeds;
• can be purchased universal feed in variable weight packaging;
• various types of food: dry or wet food, in bags, cans or patches, granulated or specially made in the form of small pieces;
• The optimum ratio of price and quality (there are more expensive feeds with less useful and natural composition);
• balanced content of all valuable components, necessary for a dog for full life, healthy teeth and hair, activity and energy;
• recognized by veterinarians optimal design for the transition from elite food to economy products.

There are also a few more bonuses that are not always mentioned in advertising - these are acceleration of digestion, facilitating digestion, maintaining health by choosing the right diet. and the undoubted superiority of PURINA ONE among all other economy class options offered to small breed dogs for decorative purposes. It is known that pet owners from this category are especially sensitive to the selection of food for their pets. They can safely turn to the products of a well-known French manufacturer, since PURINA has only a few circumstances that can be attributed to disadvantages: the use of offal (some animals prefer them as an alternative to meat), a fairly large percentage of useful fillers and a slight addition of flavor enhancers (much less, than other well-known manufacturers).

The PURINA ONE lines are marketed as designed exclusively for small breeds (sometimes the delicate word "predominantly" is added), but there is food for both large (by the standards of the owners of decorative dogs - from 10 kg) and for medium, but it is represented by a small assortment, usually based on chicken and rice. For dogs over 7 kg, you can find more suggestions in other series from PURINA.

In the mini line, there are two main types of food: granules and croquettes. If the granules were kept open, they can harden, the croquettes initially crunch and hardly undergo transformation. For dogs that have age-related problems with teeth, or puppies with an unformed dentition, you can soak them with low-fat kefir or warm boiled water. Determining which dog food is best for a particular breed of dog (which is best for a Yorkshire Terrier or French Bulldog) is difficult. All five series are focused on the individual characteristics of the animal, therefore, before buying, it is better to consult with a veterinarian who will determine the preferred category from the dry mini series:

• an adult, which contains beef with rice, - the feed is intended for animals with a sedentary lifestyle and have reached the age of 1–6 years;
• active - for pets who prefer increased physical activity, are restless and everywhere accompany the owners not on their hands, but on a leash (chicken and rice);
• for those who are prone to gaining excess weight or even obesity - the manufacturer produces food for small dogs with turkey and rice under the label "Healthy Weight";
• salmon with rice - for weakened animals, such food is often bought for medicinal purposes, however, it is a preventive food for animals with digestive problems or dogs with hypersensitivity to certain food components;
• toddlers without fear, you can give a special mini-food called "for puppies".

If we characterize the assortment of dry food in general, then the ratio of BJU is optimal: proteins - more than a quarter, fats (in different types) - from 10 to 18%, there are carbohydrates of natural origin, including corn and wheat, fish oil and animal fats, vegetable extracts ...

In the mini line there is only one type of food for children's canine age - "Chicken with rice". However, some of the granules can be used soaked. If there is a need to purchase PURINA ONE, you can turn to wet food, the shape of which is more suitable for babies.

A ruler called "My Dog" is intended for them. Convenient packaging - 0.6 kg and 1.5 kg - allows you to purchase several types at once and alternate them in your daily diet. There are different pets. There are those who love to eat and suffer from indigestion. The "Adult" series of beef and rice and "Sensitive" with salmon are suitable for them, as well as for animals with a good appetite based on turkey.

For those who have a small elderly dog, we recommend the "Adult" from the mini line, which guarantees the proper condition of the coat, oral cavity and teeth.

This segment of products from a well-known manufacturer is represented by two main directions. Their names repeat the categories of dry food - there is also a mini-ruler here, and the second is called "My dog".

The varieties of food, although they are similar in name to the dry range, have a richer taste and are close in composition to natural. The quality of wet canned food is so high that some sources refer to it as a premium animal product. The manufacturer really works to ensure a complete diet:

• "My dog. For animals with sensitive digestion and a tendency to allergization " - from salmon, carrots and rice;
• "My dog. For hyperactive (fidget) "- with duck, pasta and green beans;

• "Mini" - contains turkey, peas and carrots, flavored with delicious gravy;
• "Mini. Healthy weight " - Made with chicken, brown rice, gravy tomatoes;
• "Mini. Healthy weight " - also from chicken, rice, tomatoes with gravy;
• "Mini. For active animals " - made from beef, carrots and potatoes;
• "Mini. For active animals " - with duck, pasta and green beans.

It is difficult for large dogs to provide premium food, since it does not have a democratic cost. Small pet owners who eat less try to pamper them with expensive food. However, price is not the only indicator by which a feed can be judged. PURINA ONE is the best option, designed specifically for dogs of small breeds, it has everything you need for a full life.

Most buyers leave positive feedback on the quality of the feed in question - they are satisfied with the packaging and variety of assortment, purposefully developed lines. Veterinarians note the correct ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, a large percentage of meat and fish in the contents of granules, croquettes and spiders, the ability to recommend certain species to meet the individual needs of the pet, leveling its features that can lead to gaining excess weight or satisfy the appetite of an energetic dog.
