Biopet Organic Dog Food

[mita]

My Tibbies have never been keen on eating dry dog food. I've tried all sorts of expensive brands, but they wouldn't eat it or would eat a few pieces (just to shut me up, I suspect). Most of it was wasted.

I found a dry kibble in Coles. Called BiOpet Organic Dog Food. Everything in it is sourced in Australia. No sugar, not preservatives, no artificial colours, & not irradiated.

I gave it a try.....& the Tibbies ate every bit. They love it.

I also told another person whose dogs didn't like dry food....& she bought some & those dogs love it, too.

Apparently there's also BiOpet Dog Biscuits because she go some of those, too, & the dogs also loved them.

No wasting at all.

I wondered if anyone else has used this dry food....for some time with their dogs?

That's the one. I phoned the manufacturer to double check on the ingredients & he told me that it also contained beef.

Here you go, it's listed as 'animal proteins' in the dry food.

My Tibbies love it. I sprinkle it on their chicken & veggies which is the base of their diet.

I notice the same parent company makes a range of dry foods aimed at greyhounds & dogs in kennels.

The ingredients look pretty bad (I would never feed this to my dog).

Have you tried raw diet?

No. But thanks for the suggestion.

Do you prefer a raw diet because it'd be closer to the dog's original diet?

It concerns me that they can't even specify what sort of "animal" protein they use....road kill? snakes? posssums? what?

Same with the cereal and vege protein - not specifying what sort of grains etc.

Sounds pretty dodgy for so-called organic food :rolleyes:

I prefer it because it's more healthy. I have not found a lot of dry foods that contain a sufficient amount of meat. Most of them are full of grains that are just fillers (dogs can't digest them very well).

For that matter, bird feathers can be classed as "animal protein". Whether it is digestible or not, is another matter.

organic simply guarentees there is no pesticides or artificial chemicals, nothing more about the ingredient.

How else are they going to have supermarket prices? They have to simply get whats available to them at the time at the right price from organic suppliers.

I refuse to use anything with wheat in it anyway. At least with Raw you know what your dog is eating.
