Pure Harmony Dog Food Review: Is It A Healthy Choice?

Have you heard about Pure Harmony? What's inside their recipes? It’s a pet food brand that prides itself in preparing wholesome recipes using real ingredients and a meat-first formulation.

When you check out the brand’s product line, you’ll find pure food that won’t make you feel guilty feeding your pet. What you won’t find are artificial preservatives or flavors.

This Pure Harmony Dog Food review will delve into the products lineup more deeply to help you make an informed decision if it’s the right dog food choice to give your furry companion. 

About The Brand

Pure Harmony is a small pet food brand owned by Topco LLC, the largest American retail group purchasing organization.

The company was established in 1944 by a group of food retailers, but it only recently started operating in the pet food industry.

Topco produces Pure Harmony dog food products in the US, but there is no information available where it sources its products or where the manufacture takes place. 

Given the brand’s small size and its relatively new addition to the pet food market, there is little information about it to research and review.

Pure Harmony products are also often found in independent retail stores rather than on large pet food stores like Chewy.com or Petco so it can be difficult to get customer feedback. 

The products can sometimes be found on Amazon, but the site only stocks a few items and the products are often unavailable.

Recall History?

Pure Harmony has been involved in one recall in 2019, but it was not connected to a food safety issue. Pure Harmony Chicken, Barley and Pea Dog Food in 14lb. bags were removed from Save Mart/S-Mart, Lucky, Lucky California, and Food Maxx store shelves due to an off odor. 

Is Pure Harmony Good For Your Dogs?

Yes. At least the dry dog foods are worth the switch. And a few of the wet food recipes.

We find it an excellent dog food brand because the first ingredient is always meat (unless it is canned food, in which case the first might be a broth) and the brand only uses premium products (never cheap fillers).

Although there are select vegetables in the food, the recipes never rely on plant based protein. It is always focused on providing dogs with plenty of meat for a rich-tasting and healthy diet.

And what the vegetables and fruits can’t provide in terms of nutrition, the inclusion of supplemental minerals and vitamins will.

The grains that the brand uses for its grain inclusive meals are some of the preferred ones by consumers. These are no cheap substitutes, and you won’t find corn, artificial flavors, or common allergy-causing ingredients like soy or wheat. 

While the grain-free recipes use legumes in the formulations, these don’t overwhelm the food. Meat is still the main focus, and the peas only act as a distant support. Looking at the ingredient list, there is no danger of DCM with these meals. 

You also won’t find animal byproduct meals, wheat, soy, or artificial flavors and colors in the foods that they make. 

However, we have to note that many formulas from the company wet food product line for dogs contain carrageenan, which is a highly controversial ingredient and one we do not expect in a quality dog food diet. If not for the presence of carrageenan, we’d have given the whole brand a big two thumbs up.
