'Game-changing' 89p-a-day pet food delivery 'saved dog's life'
The bespoke meal plan for dogs is currently 40% off, and shoppers have praised it for helping with a range of canine health ailments Pet owners are turning to an all-natural food delivery service to help their dogs get healthy for summer, with some going so far as to say it's saved their dogs' lives. While recipe boxes like Hello Fresh and Gousto have long been a popular choice for humans wanting to eat well, the new service from Pure Pet Food means four-legged friends can get their own tailor-made menus delivered to the door. Shoppers who've already tried the service, which currently has a 40% off introductory offer, have praised it as a 'game changer' for their pups. The Pure Pet Food subscription box has a range of different flavours and vet-approved recipes packed with all-natural, unprocessed ingredients, so dogs that suffer from food intolerances can get something tasty but also gentle on their digestion, and that works for them. Owners can add water and stir to rehydrate the food, with customers even experimenting with using a little warm water to give their best friend a hot dinner. The plan is delivered free and costs from 89p a day for a fully bespoke menu based on pets' age, weight and any ailments or illnesses, although shoppers can currently save 40% on their first box and 15% off he next two. The ingredients are so natural that, when the brand appeared on Dragon's Den, one of the owners of the brand won over two of the Dragons by eating one of the recipes himself. Thousands of owners have switched to the brand for their pets already, with many praising the food for helping make their dogs happier and healthier as well as improving everything from skin conditions to tummy issues. The brand has a 4.6 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot based on reviews from more than 11,000 customers. Several customers in the reviews go so far as to say the food saved their dog's life, with one explaining: "We have been on a roller coaster with Muttley since January this year and at 15 years, I thought we were losing him. Scans, bloods, more scans and finally told that he must have cancer, but the vets didn't know where. I was advised to keep him comfortable and expect the worst soon. In fact, they would have happily put him to sleep at this time, as they said he looked worse. "Started him on Pure and have not looked back, I feel it's IBS or some similar gastrointestinal issue, not cancer at all, and when he's poorly, it's a flare up, the vet wouldn't listen to me regarding this at all. Overall, his condition has improved 100%. "He still has occasional flare-ups, but nothing we can't manage. Many people have remarked on how well 'and younger' he looks. He plays with his toys again and goes for walks, all of which had pretty much stopped. This food is a life changer, I tell everyone I meet how it saved my boy and gave him his quality of life back." Another happy customer said the meals had improved her dog's health, adding: "I honestly can't recommend Pure Pet Food enough. I love the way you can measure the correct amount your doggie needs, which helps with their weight. Lulu, my miniature dachshund, was overweight and had patchy skin with hair loss. We tried everything, after two months on this food, she is like a different dog, Her coat is glossy and she looks young again, I only wish they did this for humans!" Many customers praised the brand for being more convenient and cost-effective than raw food but with similar benefits, with one explaining: "Switching to Pure Pet Food has been a game-changer for feeding my two dogs. Previously, I fed them a raw diet, which led to numerous inconveniences. It required an extra freezer to store the meals, and I always had to remember to thaw it overnight, which became quite a hassle. Besides the logistical challenges, it was also rather costly. "Now I purchase just four bags each month, and I mix it with specialised kibble tailored for my German Shepherd and Dalmatian. The results speak for themselves! Their coats have never looked shinier, and their digestion has improved markedly. "Overall, I couldn't be happier with this switch. Pure Pet Food has simplified our feeding routine and ensures my dogs are thriving without the hassle of a raw diet." Not everyone was so keen, though, with some fussier pets taking a while to warm to the non-processed foods. One customer explained: "I have to say that the person on customer service was so polite and nice, which was so refreshing. However, my dog, who is fussy, did not like the chicken dog food. He ate it on the first two days with reluctance, and by the third day, he literally walked away from the bowl and didn't come back. I introduced the food slowly as instructed, but after a few days, my dog's stomach was churning, and I don't think it suited him." A four-star reviewer, meanwhile, added: "Pure provides an efficient service and the product is usually delivered on time. It's an excellent food product. My dog has had serious digestive issues in the past, including pancreatitis and inflammatory bowel syndrome. Since being on Pure, the health issues have stopped completely, and he is thriving. He loves the food too. I can thoroughly recommend the product. In addition, the team at Pure are always available and helpful."

'I'm a pet nutritionist - here's what your dog's poop says about their health'
Picking up after your dog isn't a pleasant job but it is worth inspecting what they have left behind for health reasons Owning a dog comes with so many joys. Watching them grow from a puppy into a full blown canine, bringing them on family holidays, hearing their first bark, and maybe even dressing them up for birthday, Christmases, or Easters. However, there are some aspects of ownership that aren't so glamorous. For most dog owners, although they might not like it, and it may even turn their stomach, scooping poop is simply part of the daily routine. And while many owners may not give a second thought to this rather unenjoyable task, experts say there is a lot you can find out about your dog's health just by taking a quick look at their stool. Veterinary specialists at Pure Pet Food are encouraging owners to take notice of any changes or abnormalities in their dog's stool before discarding it, as it could provide vital clues about their digestive health. "While you don't need to dig around in your dog's poop, knowing what's normal for your dog makes it easier to spot when something's off," Emma Passman, qualified pet nutritionist at Pure Pet Food, explained. "A change in their stool may be the first sign that their food isn't agreeing with them, or even that they are experiencing a health issue. "Since many dogs happily eat whatever is put in front of them, these symptoms can be the only clue that their diet is not agreeing with them and that a change is needed." With this in mind, and owners perhaps starting to pay more attention to their furry friend's sensitive stomach, Emma has shared four key signs when cleaning up after your dog that it might be time to shake up their diet. Shape and consistency "A healthy stool should be firm, sausage-shaped, and easy to pick up in one piece," Emma said. "If it's too soft, crumbly, or constantly changing from one day to the next, it could be a sign your pooch's gut isn't happy. "This kind of inconsistency is often linked to sensitive stomachs and may be triggered by rich, fatty or overly processed foods. Switching to a simpler, natural diet will help bring things back into balance." Colour "A dog's stool should typically be a deep brown," Emma pointed out. "But if it regularly appears pale brown, yellow, orange, or black, it could indicate an underlying issue." She warned: "Pale stools may suggest fat digestion problems, while black ones could point to internal bleeding. Yellow or greasy-looking waste might mean your dog's stomach isn't absorbing nutrients properly. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

"If you spot any of these changes, it's worth reviewing their diet and consulting a vet." Strong smells "All dog poo has a scent, but a dramatic change in odour, especially if it's sharp or sour, can mean something in your dog's diet isn't sitting well with them," Emma went on to point out. "Strong odours may be caused by poor-quality ingredients or excess fat in their meals. Choosing a food made with fresh, natural ingredients will reduce digestive strain and lead to less offensive clean-ups." Slime or mucus Occasionally, you may notice mucus or a shiny coating on your dog's stool. "This can be a sign of digestive tract inflammation, often caused by food intolerances or infections," Emma said. "While not always a serious concern, repeated occurrences should be noted. "A hypoallergenic diet may help calm the irritation and improve your dog's gut health."

Vet explains the surprising reason behind this cute dog behaviour
Veterinary expert at Pure Pet Food, Dr Julian Norton, reveals the endearing reason why dogs nuzzle Dogs are adorable creatures but it is impossible to really know what they are thinking. Owners can try to read between the lines - a paw, a bark, a moan - but ultimately, the psyche of our four-legged friends remains a mystery. Or so we might think. In the last three months, internet searches for 'dog communication signals' have sky-rocketed by more than a whopping 200 per cent, Pure Pet Food has noticed, proving owners are desperate for any insight. From tilting their heads to chasing their tails, dogs often have their own adorable quirks and behaviours. Evidently, owners are increasingly interested in what these behaviours mean so they can respond appropriately. Among all the behaviours dogs display, nuzzling is one of the most common but often misunderstood. So, to find out more, Pure Pet Food has asked resident veterinary expert, Dr Julian Norton, aka the Yorkshire vet, why your dog loves to nuzzle you. 'People sometimes ask why dogs nudge and nuzzle with their noses," Dr Julian said. "Part of the reason is that dogs really feel part of the family and part of the tribe, and they're trying to get attention by nuzzling you. "It's quite endearing. I think it's a bit like when dogs come and lick us on our face or hands or that sort of thing. "They're just really wanting to be part of the family and get some attention." But nuzzling is just one way that your dog tries to get your attention. The pet experts at Pure have taken it upon themselves to share ways your dog might be trying to communicate with you and what these behaviours mean. Tail wagging Many people assume that a wagging tail always means a happy dog. But in reality, a dog's tail is a powerful communication tool that can signal a range of emotions. Look at the height, speed and stiffness of the wag. A high and loose wag often means your dog is pleased to see you, while a low, tense wag could signal uncertainty or fear. Learning what a wagging tail really means can help you get a better sense of your dog's mood. Licking Dogs lick for all kinds of reasons, but it is most commonly a social behaviour. In the wild, dogs lick the mouths of other pack members to show submission or affection, and the same instinct applies to humans. If your dog licks your face, hands or even your feet, it may be their way of bonding with you or checking in to see how you are feeling. Smiling You might think your dog is smiling at you—and no, you're not imagining it. While dogs don't smile in the same way humans do, some do pull their lips back in a way that looks remarkably like a grin. When this expression is paired with relaxed, playful body language like a wagging tail it means that they are feeling happy and ready to play. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

'I'm a vet - here's what your dog is trying to say when they nuzzle you'
A vet has explained some of the reasons why dogs nuzzle their owners, and it turns out many owners may have misunderstood the signals A leading vet has shed light on the true meaning behind your dog's nuzzles, offering insight into their canine communications. With 10.6 million pet dogs across the UK, it's no wonder many of us consider them part of the family and try to decipher their every move. According to Pure Pet Food there has been a whopping 200% spike in searches for "dog communication signals" in recent months. TikTok is brimming with clips exploring "dog body language", featuring tips from both seasoned pros and enthusiastic amateurs alike. Among various doggy behaviours, nuzzling stands out as a frequent yet often misinterpreted gesture. To give an insight into this behaviour, Pure Pet Food turned to their go-to veterinary expert, Dr Julian Norton – widely recognised from the hit TV series, 'The Yorkshire Vet'. He reveals why your pooch is so keen to cozy up with a nuzzle. Dr Julian said: "People sometimes ask why dogs nudge and nuzzle with their noses. Part of the reason is that dogs really feel part of the family and part of the tribe, and they're trying to get attention by nuzzling you. "It's quite endearing. I think it's a bit like when dogs come and lick us on our face or hands or that sort of thing. They're just really wanting to be part of the family and get some attention." But nudging isn't the only tactic dogs use to capture our attention, there can be more to their interaction than meets the eye. The pet expert revealed three key ways your dog may be trying to convey messages to you, along with the meanings behind these actions. Wagging their tail It's a common misconception that a wagging tail always indicates a happy dog. In reality, a dog's tail is a vital means of expressing a range of emotions. To decipher the meaning behind your dog's wagging tail, pay attention to its height, speed, and stiffness. A high, relaxed wag generally signifies that your dog is delighted to see you, whereas a low, tense wag may imply anxiety or fear. Licking Dogs engage in licking behaviour for various reasons, but it's primarily a social action. In their natural habitat, dogs lick the mouths of pack members as a sign of submission or affection – a behaviour that has extended to their interactions with humans. When your dog licks your face, hands, or feet, it could be their way of bonding with you or checking on your well-being. Smiling While dogs don't "smile" in the same way humans do, they do display their own unique version of this facial expression. Some dogs pull back their lips, creating a grin-like appearance. If this expression is paired with relaxed, playful body language, such as a wagging tail, it suggests they're content and ready to play. PetMD offers an explanation about dogs' grins, saying: "Most scientists think the canine smile stems from a combination of evolution and the fact that dogs are masters of analysing human behaviour."
