InspectorRex Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Just to let other DOLers know I have just spoken first hand to the Importer of all the Natura Products(California Natural, Evo, Innova etc) and he has reassured me that because of the way these foods are made in USA(human conditions) it DOES NOT have to be irridated when it arrives here in Australia as Natura Products have meet all the AQIS guidelines prior to it leaving USA He has even checked this again today for me Phew! -------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvsdogs Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 That's really good to know. I was nearly going to throw out my bag of Innova. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspectorRex Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 No worries. As my friend is the Manager of a Pet Goods Direct store she gave me the ph number of the Importer and I was able to speak to him personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrie Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 But the importer is simply Pets Paradise Head Office right? Global pet products? Ie... Pets Paradise... I say no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocow Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 But the importer is simply Pets Paradise Head Office right? Global pet products? Ie... Pets Paradise... I say no more. Yes that is correct. Its could be a great product, but I still won't be buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrie Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yeah I know, I used to feed Evo... but I can't anymore. Because at the end of the day, Mr Diamond who started Pets Paradise is the owner of Global Pet Products, as well as Pets Paradise, as well as Pet Goods Direct, as well as Pets Are Fun... Different names, same company. I wonder if we could order it from any pet supply companies in America? I don't think thats possible quarantine wise is it?

carrie Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Actually it just occured to me that some Pet Goods Directs are franchised stores... meaning although they pay their franchisee fees to Global Pet Products and purchase all their stock from Global Pet Products, the franchisee themself isn't selling animals and therefore it isn't *as* bad... It would be interesting to know, Inspector Rex, if your friends store is franchised or company owned? Unfortunately at the end of the day, the stock still comes from Global.

Ptolomy Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 While we are on the subject - just wondering what everybody pays for their California Natural bickies. I pay $26 for a 2.3kg?? bag of herring and sweet potato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrie Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 The stores are supposed to all sell it for the same amount, whether they are franchised or company owned, and whether they are Pet Goods, Pets Para or Pets R Fun... So I would think everyone would sell it for the same amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same company whether they are franchised or not. Won't be changing my mind on the matter. It would be hard to order it from America as you would need to organise an import permit with AQIS. Plus I think PP has a monopoly on it in Australia, so even if we wanted to import it, we couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
