Since I have my allergic boy having to have expensive Pro Plan Sensitive, (it is the only kibble he appears to not react to, despite having tried all the other quality kibble) I was looking to offset my other, bigger girl with something cheaper, but still good. She's been used to Eagle Pack, Artemis, and Canidae - can stomach and happy to eat anything, but don't want to dramatically drop the quality of the kibble as I already know she doesn't look as shiny on Eukanuba.

Nekhbet Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 http://www.petlinedirect.com/HOLISTIC_PET_FOOD.php that one? Interesting concept, never heard of it before! Interesting to try though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spottychick Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) I can't find any information on the site about who makes it, how it's made etc or who petline is, where they are or why I would want their dog food over anyone elses. There's not even any packaging to see. For all I can tell it could be made in China. They also have no contact details and no business details. Sorry. That's a "steer clear" for me. ETA Oh and might seem a minor thing but all the spelling errors on the site sets off my radar too.

JulesP Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Looks like what we are now calling 'Black Hawk' dog food. When I first got it was called Holistic Lamb & Rice and was in a plain white bag. There are a couple of threads on here about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj2251 Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Ah, I see, now that I have searched Black Hawk, it is the same thing. Ordinarily, I too would be wary when there isn't much more info on a food, but now looking at more sites and knowing it is Balck Hawk, apparently it is an Aussie made kibble. http://www.kylainknls.com/food.htm has more info on it. I think I'll give it a try when I've used all the other trial and error bags I have gotten for my allergic boy. I may even trial it on him too. Thanks for the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 No worries. I guess they have now named it due to people being a bit antsy about the lack of a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkabull Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I use it for all 5 of my dogs (as well as raw) and I think it's great. Dogs love it and look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spottychick Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I dont care if it has a name or not. I just like to know who and what I'm dealing with. I still don't see any details about who they are or who makes the stuff. The site says "How lucky was l to have come across the product that is now packed for me". "Packed" for me? By who? Where does it come from? Where do the ingredients come from exactly? Are they human grade or just the scraps and nasty bits that have been "binned"? How do I know it's a safe product? Sorry but having been stung by online retailers and others in the past I now expect at the very least a postal adress, prefer a phone number and a registered business number is helpful. A physical address is even better but I understand why that's not always there. I also like to see much MUCH more about the food itself other than one person writing stuff on a website. Anyway, I'll see if I can find the other threads on it but at this point I personally would be wary of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesP Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It would appear that this product is being sold by quite a few different companies. I found some today in a shop and when I inquired I was told that the company that sold it is Hungry Hound. I was told it was made in the same factory as Natures Gift. This would probably be true as the Cat Holistic is exactly the same as the Nature's Gift Cat kibble. It is fairly obvious that it is some other product bagged up differently. What that product is, I don't know. I've got quite different stories about it too. Very curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megan_ Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 yes - there are a lot of companies who seem to be selling the white "no name" kibble now. Without knowing who is producing it, I wouldn't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spottychick Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Ah so basically its Natures Gift repackaged. Why not just get natures gift??? Still not getting why it's "holistic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 The puppy looks like the Natures Gift Export. Natures Gift Australia don't sell this product. I wonder if the Adult formula is the Feed Rite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungryhound Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 The dry food is completely manufactured in Australia, the product is in a plain bag because it keeps costs down so that all people can afford it, it is in no way inferior because it is in a plain bag, the formula is exclusive and can not be copied in any way. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Am I correct about were it is being made hungryhound? You are a rep? It is the lack of transparency that I have a problem with and people not answering questions about this product. You aren't doing yourselves any favors. Not sure I would call the product 'exclusive' if it is being sold by different companies under different names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. Thanks but that really doesn't answer the concerns or questions I have. I dont care about packaging or whether it's "exclusive" because neither of those things tell me anything about the product itself. But thanks anyway.

WreckitWhippet Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 it looks like I might be able to get my "black hawk" in a local shop, just with a different name and won't have to go to the trouble of getting it delivered and buying in bulk.

I am not a rep, i am a part owner of Hungry Hound, the formula is exclusive to us, no one else is able to reproduce it without our consent if you have questions please bombard me! Im happy to answer, we are wholesalers, so we do not see the consumer to be able to answer questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose factory do you share to make it in or is it your own production factory? (Or some shed down the back of your yard). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
