Pure Balance

Graded from the 7 products of theirs in this catalogue, not from an audit of the company.

Read off the 1 of 7 carry unnamed by-products, meat meal or unnamed animal fat among the 7 panels we hold. Seeing that once is evidence of a practice; a clean panel once is not. The D grade takes 8 points off this product's score.

Independent testing & contaminants

No independent testing on file.

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.

We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data.

This page was corrected once.

  • Sep 21, 2026 Panel Score 91 → 88: brand transparency grade set to D. We graded every brand in the catalogue from its own panels. Pure Balance was ungraded, and the formula scores an ungraded brand as a C, so the grade moved the number.
