Dog owner told to 'prepare for worst' saw condition improve '100%' with 89p-per-day food A new vet-approved dog food delivery service has been launched, with all-natural recipes - and some say it's saved their pet's life Pet owners are turning to an all-natural 89p a day food subscription service for their dogs (Image: Pure Pet Food ) Pet owners are increasingly opting for a natural food delivery service to ensure their dogs are in top shape for the summer, with some even crediting it with saving their pets' lives. While meal kits like Hello Fresh and Gousto have been a hit among health-conscious humans for some time, but now Pure Pet Food's new service extends this convenience to our four-legged companions, offering bespoke menus delivered straight to your doorstep. Customers who've given the service a whirl, currently available at an introductory discount of 40%, have hailed it as a 'game changer' for their dogs. The Pure Pet Food subscription box offers a variety of flavours and vet-approved recipes brimming with all-natural, unprocessed ingredients. This makes it an ideal choice for dogs with food intolerances, providing them with delicious meals that are also easy on their digestive system. Owners simply need to add water and stir to rehydrate the food, with some customers even using warm water to serve their furry friends a hot meal.

Currently, shoppers can enjoy a 40% discount on their first box and save 15% on the next two, reports the Mirror. The brand's commitment to natural ingredients was so convincing that when it featured on Dragon's Den, one of the co-founders managed to impress two of the Dragons by eating one of the recipes himself. Save 40% on Pure Pet Food Various Pure Pet Food Buy here Product Description New customers can get 40% off the pet food subscription service. 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 boasts an impressive 4.6 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot, reflecting more than 11,000 customer reviews. 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." The customer continued: "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 delighted customer shared how the meals had a positive impact on her dog's wellbeing, 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!" Pure Pet Food is made with natural ingredients - with one the owner memorably eating it on Dragon's Den to show the assembled entrepreneurs how palatable it was (Image: Pure Pet Food ) 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." Article continues below On a more positive note, another customer, who left a four-star review, shared: "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." For those interested in trying out Pure Pet Food, new customers are eligible for a 40% discount on a trial box by signing up here.

Shoppers will pay almost £1,600 for the O2 deal, where as the plan allows shoppers to pay £1,180 overall. That's £420 less.
