- KD on Be Frank Dog Food Review: “Thank you for this comment. I am looking into a suitable opetion for my new kitten and it appears like as of May 2026 their wet food does indeed have Carrageenan, so I will stay clear of it. (Their dry food does not have this ingredient presumably because its purpose is for wet foods.)” May 13, 16:25
- on Big Dog Dog Food Review: “Hi David, just read your review of Big Dog Patties and I was curious after reading such a glowing review that it only gets 8.7 Could you enlighten me please Thankyou Linda” May 12, 19:46
- on Prime100 Dog Food Rolls Review: “Giving this food a 9 out of 10 is yet another bias review to line your pockets with affiliate $’s. Giving this a high score with it being full of filler (Bamboo and Tapioca) just demonstrates your complete lack of ability to assess what is good and what is not. Shameful” May 12, 18:40
- on Bonnodog Dog Food Review: “Hi David, thanks for the review. As a trusted voice among Aussie pet parents it means a lot! We’re stoked you are aligned with our no-BS approach and hear you on the call out. While we do have liver and hearts included in Beef + Fish and hearts in our Chicken recipe, vitamins and minerals have been added to ensure everything is complete and balanced. We have also just launched our shiny new website – bonnodog.com.au – where you can set up a recurring order with pack sizes and flavours customised to your dog’s specific needs.” May 7, 12:18

- on SoulMate Dog Food Review: “I have emailed this company twice to clarify if the meat is raw or cooked before freeze or air drying and have not received a reply which leads me to question their transparency.” May 6, 06:06
- on Open Farm Cat Food Review: “Hi David, I agree with your comments and what you aim to do. Thank you for your site. Many times I’ve referred to and been grateful for not just the reviews but the informative explanations you provide.” May 5, 10:55
- on SavourLife Cat Food Review: “Hi! I was just wondering if you’d consider reviewing the new line of Providore wet and dry food for cats? I’d be interested to see what you think of it. 🙂” May 5, 10:53
- on Purina One Cat Food Review: “My cats can’t eat fancy feast or fussy cat food (it gives them gastro issues). Dine is hit and miss, with them having more of a tolerance for ocean fish,Tuna Mornay and the Turkey. Sometimes I’ve noticed a smell after purchasing the Dine food on special (maybe the shipment was sat in the sun too long who knows) and they turn their nose up completely. They don’t like Nood, Applaws or Kiwi wet food either!!!! And even though it’s been around forever, I refuse to feed them Whiskers. Ironically, Purina One is the only wet and dry food they all (x3) love, along with Ultimates (no adverse reactions). I’m currently trialing another dry as it has a great mix of raw and kibble, first night went well (no ill effects at all). However it is expensive. On a budget I try to do what’s best for my cats but I was once advised that if the first ingredient on a packet of pet food was meat (instead of a cereal) then it should be ok. In the grand scheme of things, for a person with three cats, $17 for a box of 12 wet (doesn’t go far with three cats) and $20 for a bag of supplemental kibble isn’t that cheap considering there are much cheaper brands out there. So I’m surprised with the Purina review. Seeing the ‘makes some terrible food’ comment concerns me!” May 3, 05:55
- on What’s the best dog food (in Australia)?: “Thank you so much. Such a great informative read. It’s so refreshing to read something by someone who sounds like they actually have the same intention as I do and that is providing our dogs, often our best friends and family, with the best care we know how to give them. Your work is truly appreciated. ” May 2, 11:52
- on Scratch Dog Food Review: “Thanks for the great info David! I wanted to share my positive experience of Stratch dog food. I decided to transition my super sensitive standard Dachshund from Royal Canin Hypoallergenic to Scratch. Royal Canin was super expensive, made oversees and my boy didn’t like it. I was very hesitant to try Scratch as I didn’t want to deal with runny poos! The Scratch website made a great recommendation for his issues and customer service advised that if my Pup couldn’t eat it I could keep it and give it away and get a refund. Thankfully there was no need for this. Teddy loved it from the get go and he’s a VERY fussy boy. It smells so fresh too. I bought the Salmon and Mackeral as it’s meant to be good for sensitivities. We transitioned over a week and no tummy upsets. It worked out alot cheaper too. I love that it’s locally made. Highly recommend. You can use this first order code for a $20 discount if you want to give it a go REFBKN2K8HPW6.” May 2, 10:10
- on Best Dog Food for Small Dogs: “Love this website ❤️ I am grateful I stumbled across it 18 months ago. I am unable to buy Zignature in Australia online anymore. We have a 6 yr Shih Tzu and a nearly 2 yr old shi-poo. I feed kibble (recommended by you) mixed with homemade food consisting of mince beef, chicken, carrots, peas and green beans. . Treats are mostly chicken necks purchased at Cole’s pick n mix for dogs. Is this sufficient? Thanks” May 2, 02:13
- on Freeze Dry Australia 100% Raw Dog Food Review: “Any chance of you doing an update on this brand? Or on the cat food line? The packaging is so different now.” May 1, 19:35
- on Nature’s Gift Dog Food Review: “I have a 10 yr Bichon with delicate gut. Used to cook his food and give him raw steak. As he got older he started getting really unwell from it. He has settled on My Dog loaf with Hills Science for Senior small dogs, plus the odd cooked egg and a small piece of cheese when we have lunch. I know, My Dog is not my first choice, but he loves it and digestion wise has never been better. Perfect weight, energetic, and has surprised his vet with his beautiful coat and clear eyes, no more brown tear stains or brown around mouth. We can’t figure it out, I have had a lot of experience with dogs in a shelter situations, pure breeds and mixed, but, it is what it is. And most importantly, firm stools now and no vomiting. He never farts.” Apr 30, 07:40
