Choosing the right dog food for your pet is an important decision. Two popular options on the market are Pure Balance Dog Food and Pure Balance Pro Dog Food. Both offer high-quality ingredients and balanced nutrition, but they have some differences. In this article, we’ll compare the two and help you decide which one is best for your pet. What is pure balance dog food? Pure Balance Dog Food is a premium dog food brand known for using high-quality ingredients to provide a balanced diet for dogs. It is made with real meat as the first ingredient and contains a mix of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. This food is designed to support your dog’s health and provide the essential nutrients needed for a healthy life. What is pure balance pro dog food? Pure Balance Pro Dog Food is an upgraded version of the original Pure Balance formula. It’s designed to offer even more targeted nutrition, with a focus on providing higher levels of protein and specialized formulas for different life stages and dog needs. The Pro version is often recommended for more active dogs or those who require additional support for things like joint health, coat condition, or energy levels. Key differences between pure balance and pure balance pro While both formulas are made by the same brand, there are a few key differences between Pure Balance Dog Food and Pure Balance Pro Dog Food. Protein content One of the main differences between the two is the protein content. Pure Balance Pro generally has a higher percentage of protein compared to the regular Pure Balance Dog Food. This makes it a better option for active dogs or those who need more muscle support. Specialized formulas Pure Balance Pro offers more specialized formulas, such as those designed for puppies, seniors, or dogs with specific health needs like sensitive stomachs or joint issues. This allows you to choose a food that fits your dog’s particular needs, while the regular Pure Balance Dog Food is a one-size-fits-all option. Ingredients Both formulas are made with high-quality ingredients, but Pure Balance Pro tends to have a higher level of specific nutrients, like omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which support skin health and a shiny coat. The Pro version may also include more joint-supporting ingredients, such as glucosamine and chondroitin. Price Since Pure Balance Pro offers a more specialized formula, it is typically priced higher than the regular Pure Balance Dog Food. If you’re on a budget, the original Pure Balance might be a more affordable choice. Which is better for your dog? When deciding between Pure Balance Dog Food and Pure Balance Pro, it really depends on your dog’s individual needs. Pure Balance Dog Food is a great option if you’re looking for a nutritious, affordable, and well-balanced diet for your dog. It’s suitable for dogs of all life stages and provides solid nutrition. Pure Balance Pro Dog Food is a better choice if your dog is more active, needs more protein, or has special health concerns. It’s also ideal if you have a dog with specific nutritional needs, such as joint health or skin problems. What do pure balance dog food reviews say? Many pure balance dog food reviews highlight the brand’s focus on high-quality ingredients and balanced nutrition. Pet owners appreciate the natural ingredients and the variety of formulas available to meet different dietary needs. However, some reviews mention that the price of Pure Balance Pro can be higher, which might not fit everyone’s budget. If you’re considering switching your dog’s food, checking out pure balance dog food reviews can give you an idea of how well the food works for other pets and help you make a more informed decision. Pet-related information to consider When choosing the best food for your dog, it’s important to gather pet-related information from reliable sources. This includes reading reviews, understanding your dog’s health needs, and consulting with your vet. Knowing your dog’s age, activity level, and any health concerns will help you select the right food to support their well-being. Always keep up with the latest updates on pet health and nutrition to ensure you are providing the best care for your dog. Conclusion Both Pure Balance Dog Food and Pure Balance Pro Dog Food offer excellent nutrition and high-quality ingredients, but the Pro version is more specialized and tailored to active dogs or those with health concerns.

Most organisations and businesses are trying to navigate the best way back to a functional working framework. But two things need to happen - 1. The working practices need to be efficient, sustainable and compatible for meeting the demands and needs of the organisation; it’s clients, it’s workforce and it’s Leaders 2. The culture needs to be welcoming, authentic and supportive otherwise there will be disenfranchisement and potentially a churn of staff and loss of talent What has been proven to be a very successful approach to mitigate the dangers of demotivated team members and poor efficiency levels is a bespoke ‘Ushering the Team Back to the Workplace’ workshop. Programme Outline Below is a template of an actual Programme that has been delivered very successfully for clients such as the NHS; Claranet; Jotun Paints & Workspace. This, however, can be modified to suit any group or size. It will be designed to reflect the Organisation’s preferred Hybrid working framework and communication systems. The options of having the innovative Real Play technique to help handle delicate conversations is especially effective. The biggest gain is to reconnect the relationships via the activities and exercises, which would be selected carefully. Key commitments and buy-in is always the priority outcomes - which this programme will help deliver in just 1 day. The objectives include: Making the transition back to working as a collaborative team Enhancing the Leadership skills of the team Reviewing/establishing the Hybrid working protocols Galvanising the Team spirit Maintain inclusivity among full-time; part-time and Region based team members Energising and motivational Fun! Exercise – Round the Bend The team are to follow the instructions delivered as they walk (and jump) through the route – always keeping a safe distance apart. The instructions become more complicated as they progress. Debriefing points: Dealing with Change Attention to Detail Adapting approach Optimising results Exercise - Number Crunch (3 x Cohorts of 12/13) The team must be effectively led and motivated to work as one unified group to reach their objective of visiting each numbered location within a very tight deadline. Debriefing points: Support and co-ordination Strategy and planning Adapting approach Optimising results Tutorial – Team Dynamics Tuckman model Phases of Development towards Maturity Exercise - Juggling (3 x Cohorts of 12/13) The group(s) will be invited to optimise the number of ‘clients’ (juggling balls) they can manage at one time. This involves devising a sequence between the group to achieve maximum results without making any mistakes. We introduce different balls which represent different degrees of complexity, challenging the group’s preparation and approach to a variety ‘customers’ needs. Debriefing points: Ensuring effective communication Clarifying the approach for dealing with the unexpected Setting expectations and reviewing delivery Treating every colleague with care and respect Tutorial - Email Etiquette The primary standards – best practices ABSURD model Preparation and planning Top Tips World Cafe The team are split into 5-6 sub-groups – each with a specific review focus:- What recommendations do you have to engage the team back into the Workplace? How do we ensure the framework is efficient? What are the best ways to optimise team working strategically when most/all team members are in the office? What potential barriers are there? How do we accommodate for the Regional team members? What are the benefits to bringing the team back to the workplace? Each session has 2 – 3 rounds with each table’s ‘host’ sharing feedback for applying to the Team Action Plan – or Charter. Debriefing points: Each Syndicate’s recommendations and capture the key actions they generate 'Real Play' We offer an innovative solution to bring real Leadership/team scenarios to life. We use actors who improvise scenarios which have been specified by the group. The group is split the group into 2 sub-groups, one with the Actor, the other with the Trainer. Each group has a brief and has to instruct their Trainer/Actor on how to approach the scenario supplied. The Actor and Trainer perform the role play(s) as instructed by their respective teams; however, during the action they can be paused for further recommendations or direction. The outcome is the responsibility of the team(s) – not the performers Assign 24 x ‘Directors’ (4 for each Player – Phil & Julia – for each Real Play. Potential Real Play Scenarios: Engaging with a team member as to how the new working plans will be applied. Overcoming concerns to the new working practices/framework Addressing issues where a team member feels excluded from the teamworking practices/culture Debrief the Programme Individual Action Plans Team Priorities for application into the workplace
