Meea Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Hi there, Am new to forums so a little rusty. Just want to reply in regards to Nutrience supply to independent Sydney stores and Petbarn. Petbarn are ranging Nutrience in 5 stores with the remaining 32 (approximately) having access to buy Nutrience and stock it but not a specific range of it. We have good stock levels and are continuing to happily sell to all our valued independent retailers Australia wide. If anyone has any questions about Nutrience please feel free to ask. I'm on leave for a long weekend from today so will answer any questions from Monday if I don't get a chance today. Please PM me with the names of any inner west stores where I can order and be supplied. I have placed orders at several and they tell me you simply do not deliver. Petbarn Alexandria/Pet warehouse - the same store really - tell me that they cannot order from you? Good to see you on here! edited: for spellunk Edited September 4, 2009 by Meea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a total novice at this. I thought messages would go through to my direct email but obviously not. I will check the forum daily now. Petbarn Alexandria (not the old Pet Warehouse Petbarn) should carry a full range of Nutrience. I will call them tomorrow and just check to see what's going on. The other stores that carry it close to Alexandria are Pets On Broadway 02 9280 1624 in the Broadway Shopping Centre (that's one of our own store so we can get any formula and stock it regularly if we know you buy it). Balmain Village Vet 02 9555 9362 also stock Nutrience but you may want to check they have your formula and size. We have good stock of all formulas in our warehouse. Thanks for your patience until I get up to speed here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrience Australia Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 due to food regulations on imported goods various foods places/products have to comply to meet import standards . It would be interesting to get more information on this. The only changes I'm aware of (and there may be people out there who can provide better info) are regarding stopping the irradiation of imported cat food. The flow on of that is that dog food that is irradiated must bear the information that the food is unsuitable for cats to eat. It stands to reason that if a company (not saying any one in particular) has previously irradiated their food without having to inform their customers, that they may prefer to make any changes to obtain irradiation free status, rather than slap a sticker on and deal with the aftermath. Personally, I'm a bit over the lack of openess with some companies. Back to the question: I'd like to see Artemis and RC or Nutrience. And I would certainly buy from my own vet if they were the best option (as opposed to a pet selling outlet). Sags Hi Sag, You are right that cat food cannot be irradiated anymore to meet AQIS regulations so it won't be available unless the manufacturer cooks it differently so it meets AQIS requirements prior to importation. But..... dog food can be irradiated but must now have a sticker on it saying that it isn't suitable for cats (although the sticker won't say it's irradiated but gives it away really). Nutrience has never been irradiated since we started importing it back 10 years ago. Because the company is family owned, both the manufacturer and us, plus we have a close relationship with them, they make the food to suit our requirements. They have their own state of the art manufacturing facility in New York State so Nutrience isn't contracted out to large private label facilities. They are very fussy about the quality of ingredients and test each raw material on arrival. They have a team of specialist scientists and vets that monitor quality control carefully.

Danois Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Its a shame that Pets on Broadway (meaning the one in the shopping centre) sells puppies. You'll find most people here will not shop there for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busters crew Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 what do people think of Eukanuba. This is what the breeder fed and recommended. We haven't had any problems with it and he loves it. We do give him raw food ever second or third day for some variety. getting near the end of the 20kg bag we bought when we got him so not sure to stay on it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I'm on a major mission to find Ivy a new dry food. I have used California Natural since I got her but noooo more. Makes me feel too sad buying it, all those puppies. I'm really set on Artemis or Proplan Salmon. Artemis seems to have some good reviews around the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad isn't it. actually I think you will find that there dry food is all still manufactured inhouse and not subcontracted out.

The multinationals are increasingly dominant in the chain stores making it hard for the private companies to get fair representation. A bit like Coles & Woolworths....
