Precise Information
Precise Pet Products are based in Nacogdoches, Texas, USA, and have been producing pet food since the 1930s. The brand is owned by Texas Farm Products, which is a family-owned company.
Precise’s recipes are produced in the United States according to the brand, although it is not clear whether they use their own facility to do this or share one with other brands.
Precise recipes are available for purchase from hundreds of retail pet food stores across the United States and Canada.
Their products are also available online from select websites but not available from some larger sites like Chewy and Petflow.
Precise Product Range
Dog Food
Precise has a moderate dog food range, which is a mix between dry dog food and wet/canned dog food.
This range includes grain-free and grain-inclusive recipes as well as recipes for puppies, senior dogs, and size-specific recipes.
Cat Food
Precise’s cat food range isn’t as large as its dog food range but is still moderately sized. It has a mix of dry cat food and wet/canned cat food, and within these ranges, there are grain-free and grain-inclusive options.
There are minimal specialty recipes in Precise’s cat food range, but there is a Kitten formula.
Precise Nutrition
Dog Food
Sadly, the nutrition provided by many Precise recipes is not impressive or above-average. It would generally be described as below-average to average, including below-average proportions of protein and fat and above-average proportions of carbohydrates.
This kind of nutritional profile will not allow many dogs to thrive, especially those who are more active or require a higher protein proportion.
Below is an example of the nutrition provided by a Precise dog food recipe.
Cat Food
The nutrition offered by Precise cat food is similar to its dog food range and is generally below-average to average.
This nutritional profile consists of average proportions of protein and fat and above-average proportions of carbohydrates.
This kind of nutritional profile is not suitable for cats, given that they are obligate carnivores. They require a diet high in animal and fish ingredients with minimal plant-based content.
Precise Ingredients
High-Quality Meat & Fish Ingredients
- Chicken
- Turkey
- Beef
- Lamb
- Salmon
- Trout
Precise uses a moderate range of meat and fish ingredients in its recipes. All of these ingredients are high-quality and can provide an abundant supply of protein and fat.
Some of these ingredients are industry favorites, such as Chicken and Salmon. They are so popular among manufacturers because of their low price-point and ease of availability.
Other Notable Ingredients
Precise makes use of two staple grain ingredients in Brown Rice and Oatmeal.
These ingredients are popular among manufacturers and can provide carbohydrates, fiber, and select vitamins and minerals. Some prefer these grains to others because they perceive them as less processed.
Sadly, Precise does use a lower-quality grain ingredient in Rice Bran. Rice Bran is an ingredient leftover from Rice processing, and while it still provides nutrition, it is less preferred than whole-grain ingredients. You can learn more about Rice Bran in Rice Bran In Dog Food.
Chicken Fat is found in some Precise recipes, and its purpose is to enhance the recipes’ flavor and boost the levels of animal-based fat present.
Chicken Fat is often chosen over alternatives because of its low cost and high availability. Learn more about the use of Chicken Fat in our article, Chicken Fat In Dog Food.
Precise makes use of the popular ingredient Beet Pulp in some of their recipes. Beet Pulp is popular because it is a reliable source of soluble fiber.
Soluble fiber can be an important component of a dog’s diet to help maintain regular stools and digestion. Read more about Beet Pulp in Dried Beet Pulp In Dog Food.
Tomato Pomace is very similar to Beet Pulp and is used for the exact same purpose, adding fiber to a dog’s diet.
Tomato Pomace is a very effective source of fiber but provides little nutrition outside of this. Learn more about Tomato Pomace in Tomato Pomace as a Pet Food Ingredient?.
Flaxseed is best known for being one of the best plant-based sources of the Omega 3 Fatty Acids, which is why it is so commonly seen in pet food recipes.
These fatty acids can provide numerous health benefits, such as a reduction in the risk of certain health issues and diseases. Read more about Flaxseed in Flaxseed In Dog Food.
Alfalfa is a minor ingredient in pet food that is often only present in tiny quantities.
Despite this, it can provide some benefits in the form of vitamins and minerals. Learn more about these benefits in Alfalfa In Dog Food.
Sunflower Oil is a vegetable oil that is commonly found in food for human consumption. However, it is used by some pet food manufacturers as a source of fat.

Precise Animal Testing
At this time, we have no information on whether Precise participates in invasive or laboratory testing of animals.
We strongly believe that laboratory or invasive testing of animals is a cruel and outdated practice. We hope that in the future, it will be eliminated.
Precise Recalls
Based on our research (FDA, AVMA, DogFoodAdvisor), Precise is a recall-free brand.
We always ask that pet owners are vigilant of any future recalls of Precise or any other pet food brand.
