What our customers have to say

My cats have been on Mera Classic for years so when I got my chow x puppy, Siya, I worked with the team to try this as chow-chows are often allergic to chicken and get hot-spots etc as a result.
Siya is THRIVING on this food - she has grown, the quality of her fur is SO much better and the hot spot areas have started to regrow hair. She is so full of life and loves adventuring with me.

November 16, 2023 We've had our GSD on this for about 2 weeks now and we've seen the difference it's made on him. His scratching and itching has decreased considerably with the Turkey and Rice. We can't wait to try out the Herring and Potato mix.
Thanks Mera.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
What is the difference between the grain-free and rice-based recipes?
Both ranges follow the same Limited Ingredient Diet philosophy and are wheat and gluten-free. The grain-free dog food range uses potato as its carbohydrate source and is suited to dogs with a specific aversion to all grains. The rice-based range uses rice as its carbohydrate source and offers a full life-stage selection from puppy through to senior.
Is MERA PURE Sensitive good for dogs with itchy skin?
Yes. Many food allergies in dogs manifest as skin conditions – itching, redness, and coat problems. Our Herring & Potato recipe is particularly beneficial for skin health, as herring is a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which support healthy skin and coat condition. Thousands of dogs have found relief from itchy skin on MERA PURE Sensitive.
What is the best food for puppies with allergies?
The PURE Sensitive Turkey & Rice Puppy and Junior variants are developed specifically for puppies with food sensitivities, using turkey as a single lean protein source alongside easily digestible rice. It contains no wheat, no gluten, and no artificial additives.
Is MERA PURE Sensitive suitable for dogs with Leishmaniasis?
MERA PURE Sensitive Turkey & Potato’s limited ingredient recipes may be a suitable option for dogs with Leishmaniasis, depending on the severity and your vet’s recommendations. We always recommend consulting your veterinarian before making changes to a Leishmaniasis dog’s diet.
