Purine
Updated
Purine is a natural compound found in plant and animal cells that is important for building new cells and genetic material in dogs and humans.
Purine is found in all kinds of foods such as veg, fruit, meat and fish but can also be created by the body.
Purines from food (exogenous purines) are metabolised by the liver and the excess is called uric acid. This is a normal process and no cause for concern.
Some foods such as organ meat, venison, and duck are high in purine as are sardines, herring and mackerel. Vegetables like spinach, green peas and legumes also have a medium to high level of purine.
Wolfworthy 80/20 contains organ meat and spinach.
If your dog requires a low-purine diet due to a medical condition such as leishmaniasis or a genetic problem (Dalmations) we cannot recommend our food due to the organ meat content. Dog's with these conditions may not be able to excrete the uric acid from their body and health problems can develop as a result.
Wolfworthy is not formulated as a low-purine food. Please speak to your vet for other recommendations
Do you love the idea of feeding raw but hate the mess, fuss or your dog just won't eat it? Wolfworthy is the dry food alternative to feeding raw. It has the same health benefits but is easy to store, handle and travel with. So you can relax knowing your dog is satisfied, healthy and well-cared for but without all the hassle.
