Thanks for all the kind words! Kevin

I just found out that there are vendors in Taiwan who carry the Leading Raw BARF, so I'm thinking about also giving this a try. But Leading Raw doesn't seem to have its ingredients clearly stated - i.e. no nutritional breakdown by %. I know the brand says the breakdown is different depending on the life stage of the food, but still it would be nice to see the different % for different life stages. Or am I missing something? Kevin

Thanks for all the replies - definitely reassuring to hear that the brands have a good reputation back in Australia. Vontae has been on both Big Dog and Dr.B since I got him a year ago, and he's due for his annual physical next month, so we'll see what the blood test shows. But visually he seems to be doing great, more active than when I first got him - although I'm not sure if that's due to the food, the lifestyle (I hike/swim/play frisbee with him pretty much everyday), or a combination of the two. We do have some locally made commercial raw food brands here in Taiwan and their ingredients look good - one, which I've fed off and on, even publishes the actual sources of where their meats and veggies come from (farms, some organic, here in Taiwan). But at the end of the day, I don't quite feel as comfortable with local Taiwan brands because they have not been in the market that long and have not established a track record of safety and success. Here's a video of my boy Thanks again for all the feedback and advice. Kevin

Hi all, greetings from Taiwan. I've been feeding my 3-year-old Mini Poodle, Vontae, a raw food diet that alternates between two Aussie brands - Big Dog and Dr.B's BARF - with a bit of K9 Natural raw thrown in once in a while. How are the reputations of Big Dog and Dr.B BARF in Australia? We don't have too many commerical raw food choices here in Taiwan, so I definitely would appreciate any feedback on these brands. Vontae seems to be doing well on this combo diet so far, but I wanna make sure that these brands have strong long-term reputations and results. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks! Kevin
