Products Similar To Vets All Natural Mix

[4 Paws]

A friend mentioned she was thinking about trying the Vets All Natural Mix that you mix with mince and asked if there were any different brands around.I have just done an internet search and come up with a couple of different ones and wondered if anyone had tried them?

This is the Vets All Natural one http://www.vetsallnatural.net/products.html

And I have found Sojo's mix http://www.yourpetessentials.com/sojospetfood

And lastly this one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Super-FAST-Natural-...%3A1%7C294%3A30

[Erny]

Where there is an option I would rather the Australian made and produced brand.

I don't think Sojo's is, is it?

With the second one (the "Superfast Natural Home Dog Food") .... that's more the additive they are selling, isn't it? With you making up the actual food mix?

This stuff is green anddoesn't really look quite as porridge like as the VAN and obviously has less ingredients and no veggies but its a sort of similar product. It Says 100% Australian product on the website. Also an instant soak not overnight.

Then there is Browns animal herbs that is much more like the VAN in appearance, but is an instant soak rather than overnight like the VAN:

Yep, I use Phuds from Tracy Brown. I buy the 10kg bag. I do it a bit differently though. I have a cook up once a week and when it's cooked, I turn off the heat, add the Phuds, stir it through, then put the lid back and leave it to swell and soak in then put it in containers.

My dogs always have firm stools and they look to be in fantastic health.

I have used the Phuds in the past too. The dogs love it. Can't report any coat changes etc as the dogs are in good shape. Their poos are looser but they aren't stinky so it hasn't bothered me. You put boiling water on it and leave for about 5 mins.

do you have a list of ingredients that are in the phuds?I can't seem to find that information on the website.How much meat to mix do you use etc

i have been using van and the worlds fussiest whippets love it

it seems to help with my older whippets allergies and the garlic seems to keep the fleas at bay - a recent observation

poos are great too

[arawnhaus]

We have been using VAN for a few months now,no complaints.I find after 12 hrs it is good to go.

[Kuntooki]

I would also be interested in seeing a list of ingredients as it doesn't say on the website. Can someone who uses it type the ingredients up please.

Does it say why "boiling water" ? Would boiling water deplete some of the goodness? Is it cooled down sufficiently in 5 mins? Had never heard of Phuds. Where's it made and is it from local ingredients? Do you have to cook the dog's meal?

Sorry for the 20 questions - it began as one, but then the other questions popped up in my mind as I typed.

This is the info I have on the PHUDS

Phuds, All Dogs Essence For Life

Food suitable for all dogs on a daily basis

Wholesome and unprocessed.

Contains: Stone ground grains oats and barley, polenta, buck seed, psyllium husk, coconut, vegetables, lentils, linseed meal, kelp, calcium, rosehip herb, garlic, dandelion root herb.

Unique modern food designed to be mixed with water and meat (fresh, cooked or

canned).

With the over use of preservatives and flavour enhancers that are added to pet

food today, Phuds offers a real alternative low allergy, packed with absorbable

natural nutrients and a great high fibre source.

Phuds’ provides the answer pet owners are desperately seeking out !!!

Phuds: high fibre – supports detoxification of the body, liver and kidney function

reduces offensive body odour

contains herbs that offer natural vitamins and minerals

aids movement and flexibility

builds on assisting immunity to guard against fleas and pests

enhances rich lush coat and improves skin health

Basically a 25 kilo dog requires 1 cup mixed with around 11/2 cups of

boiling water and 2 cups of fresh meat.

I've used it & found it very good but it is hard to get hold of here in Geraldton WA
