Christine_72 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I feed mostly raw/home made food, but i also supplement with dry food. I am currently rotating between Canidae pure sky and Wellness Core. They are both unfortunately US foods. I have tried Meals for Mutts and Ivory Coat, but Nugget wasn't very keen on either of these, he gobbles up the Canidae and Wellness though. Was just curious in the brands people here feed their puppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine_72 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 I'm also going to give this one a try, similar to Ziwi peak but with bigger chunks. https://www.mypetwarehouse.com.au/absolute-holistic-air-dried-dog-food-chicken-hoki-1kg-p-31642 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be better off buying a dehydrator and making your own dog jerky at that price. Have our dog on a blend of meals for mutts and Blackhawk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crazydoglady99 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Ziwipeak is the only one I'd use (at this moment in time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd use it as more of a supplement/add on to his regular food. Plus he's a small dog that doesn't eat a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine_72 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Someone recommended Stay Loyal dry food, and a bonus is it's an Aussie company! I ordered a sample of the "small bites". First 3 ingredients are a meat meal. https://stayloyal.com.au/salmon-turkey-grain-free-dog-food.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfthewords Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 My 15.5 year old Min Pin had a bout of pancreatitis last year, so she gets a sprinkle of Hills R/D with her cooked chicken breast (low in fat). My 6 month old Min Pin pup eats Taste of the Wild quite happily and a 6 kg bag lasts us forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisys Mum Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I feed my dogs Taste of the Wild... they love this one, I rotate the flavours for variety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizabella Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I'd love to feed ZiwiPeak or something similar, but as it's dried raw rather than kibble it's too pricey for me! I feed a combination of Prime100 fresh rolls with Taste of the Wild High Prairie (which has a higher meat content than other varieties. I'm going to try other brands of kibble as well, namely Healthy Everyday Pets (Pete Evans... in a ugly as heck package, but very highly rated) and Prime100 ZeroG (not yet released). I do like the look of Stay Loyal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crazydoglady99 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Oooooohhhh is Pete Evans food actually available? Soo curious about the ingredients! Edit - ok I found. Stil got junk in it like every other brand. Meat meal is not a good thing. Please look up what it really is. Hydrolyzed Yeast, that's msg under a code name. Eeeep I sound like the grinch!

grizabella Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I've looked up what meat meal is, the concentrated, rendered product; I'd rather have that as a main ingredient over grains or legumes. All meat in kibble is processed, so as long as I'm told what the meat is, and there are no by-products, a meat meal is about as good as you're going to get. Certainly if you can afford it, non-kibble dried foods such as ZiwiPeak or Absolute Holistic are miles and miles ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha113 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I feed only natural I was writing earlier about the issues that my pup had with a small Vitamine B deficiency, when our vet suggested to switch to more 'natural' and more Australian food. We tried with several brands, it was more or less successful, currently we are on Applaws dog food and we are completely satisfied As long as there's nothing artificial added or hidden, no colours or preservatives or flavours - we are good <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I'm a food skeptic. Can't see the need to buy anything fancy. So much hype out there. I feed Coprice working dog at $55 to $60 for a 20 kg bag. My dogs love it (they're Labbies and there's not much they don't love). Their coats are lovely. Their poos are firm. They have no allergies. My old Girl will be 14 in August, and she's still pretty healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine_72 Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have decided to go with Stay Loyal small breed. Nugget absolutely devoured it, which he has not done with any other kibble! I have always had to add toppings and extras to get him to finish off a bowl. It has a real meaty smell which all the other dry foods haven't had.

PANDI-GIRL Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 My little girl loves Stay Loyal small breed as well, I told my sister about it , and got her some for her fussy little Yorkshire Terrier pup, He gobbled it up super fast! The pup was being fed Canidae before, I don't think it was as Tasty as Stay Loyal is, So my sister finally listens to me now I also feed Frontier Pets Pork freeze dried raw in the evening , after adding hot water and soaking for 1 minute ,it makes a lovely warm meal at night. @grizabella are you feeding Frontier Pets anymore, Pandi loves their beef paddywhack chew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizabella Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I haven't fed Frontier Pets for a while; it's a bit out of my price range at the moment, but would definitely feed again if money wasn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
