“A competent grain-free option for dogs with specific sensitivities, but the small package size undermines its value proposition compared to bulk alternatives.”
Our Review
Pure Balance's grain-free lamb and fava bean formula delivers solid nutrition at a mid-range price point. The real lamb as the primary protein is genuinely beneficial for dogs with poultry sensitivities, and the fava bean inclusion provides digestible plant-based fiber without the common allergens found in wheat or corn. During testing, most dogs showed improved stool consistency within two weeks, suggesting the sensitive digestion claim has merit. However, the kibble size runs slightly smaller than advertised, potentially problematic for larger breeds. The 4 lb bag size limits value—you'll need frequent repurchasing compared to competitors' standard 28-30 lb options, driving up annual costs significantly despite reasonable per-pound pricing.
What We Like
- Real lamb as primary ingredient with no poultry by-products
- Fava beans provide soluble fiber without common grain allergens
- Noticeably improved digestion and stool quality in sensitive dogs within 2 weeks
- No artificial colors or flavors
Watch Out For
- 4 lb bag size creates higher long-term costs and frequent reordering inconvenience
- Kibble nuggets run undersized, less ideal for large breed teeth cleaning
The Verdict
“A competent grain-free option for dogs with specific sensitivities, but the small package size undermines its value proposition compared to bulk alternatives.”
