peigirl Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Still on my quest for a suitable kibble for Raf ;) I see Eukanuba in the US have released one with kangaroo - like their fish and potato. Seems to be the only one I can find - link Anyone know of a kibble with kangaroo as the primary protein source available here in Oz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff'n'Toller Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 We don't have it here as far as I know. Refresh my memory coz I can't remember but are any of the Eagle Pack holistic types suitable? Namely the duck one? You would have to get onto your Vet to call the Rep and see what they can do about shipping it for you....not sure what the response would be though. Mel.

Dogsfevr Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 When i went to buy Bonnie the other day the working dog now says real red meats,no mention of Kangaroo like the past bags. I didnt buy the bag as i didnt have the time to read the ingredients & the adult is also suitabel so brought that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pandii Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 The bonnie working dog I was reading on thursday still had kangeroo in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peigirl Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Unfortunately the Bonnie Working Dog has chicken and beef too, which rules it out for Raf as he is intolerant to both those proteins. S&T while Eukanuba make Kangaroo and Potato they also add pork fat which rules that one out too so no point importing. Eagle Pack Duck formula contains chicken so another no go. The EP Anchovy formula has just 3 types of fish protein - that one is still on my very limited list of kibbles to try. Also holding hope for ZiwiPeak venison until I can read a full ingredient list. By all means throw in other suggestions if you can suggest a kibble without chicken, turkey, pork, lamb, beef or veal. I would love to hear it!!!!

Staff'n'Toller Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I would definitely try the Anchovy, I have tried it on my Stafford girl and found it worked *almost* as well as Z/d for her skin. I'm not sure why we have such a limited supply of choice when there are hundreds of brands over in the US. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peigirl Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 S&T the problem isnt so much availability its more that these companies - say Eukanuba - wack pork fat in with their 'novel formula'. I don't get it?? Why bother - sticking the regular protein fat in there? Z/D is also out for us as Raf's system still can't tolerate the hydrolised chicken protein. Z/D is only effective for about 70% of dogs. Hills make 4 D/D formulas - vension, lamb, egg and 1 more? - and put pork in all of them. Drives me insane!!!

JulesP Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Not a kibble but what about trying Phuds? It is sort of a porridge, you just add a bit of mince to it. Can be found at http://www.brownsanimalherbals.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Yeah I remember about the chicken protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall look into it S&T sorry don't mean to preach This kibble thing is driving me round the twist and I can't help but whinge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) Peigirl, I fully understand where you're coming from. My dog is on the Eukanuba fish and potato and I presume the animal fat there is pork. Luckily, no reaction to it. I give him the EP anchovy/salmon one as treats and he loves it and again, no reaction. I wrote to Eukanuba Australia recently regarding the recalls in the States and found them less than helpful, so I intend to ring them and give them a blast. I asked where they source their ingredients and they simply didn't respond to that question. ETA: In the shuffle about pet foods in the states, quite a few people with wheatens are looking to making their own foods and recommended these people. You pay for the consult but people were very pleased with the results. The problem with doing your own food for a dog requiring a special diet, particularly IBD and the wheaten diseases (PLE/PLN) is getting the balance right. http://www.petdiets.com/ Edited May 5, 2007 by Sheridan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff'n'Toller Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hey Peigirl! I saw an ad for a new Royal Canin food made with vegetable proteins only. It was on the back of the Bark magazine. Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda actually operates "Natural Pet Foods Australia" not natural pet store. 2 entirely different companies, but I do beleive heasapandabear sell's it cheaper :D -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
