- Anne-Marie on Prime100 Dog Food Rolls Review: “Natalie, my 10-year-old Pom thrives on the Prime 100 slow-cooked salmon and pumpkin, which I buy online direct from Prime 100. For an occasional treat I give him bonito flakes dissolved in water.” Sep 25, 18:52
- on Woolworths Baxters Dog Food – Sick/Deceased Dog Reports: “I am seeking your support in reporting my experience that is almost a mirror image of many and as concerning as this all is it is completely dangerous to have thr unpredictability of aggression where there was np warming signs before baxters. I am really wanting to have support in this as my case is new and I wiuld like to see a better outcome than these heartbreaking stories.” Sep 25, 18:49
- on 5 Hounds Dog Food Review (By Dr Will): “Thank you for this review. My dogs have been eating Lyka with Petzyo kibble, because frankly I can’t afford the full bowl of Lyka. I had a look at Five Hounds to try and compare with Lyka as you have given them the same rating. Mostly I suppose I wanted to work out if there was any reason to change, whether it be for the superior quality or the price perhaps being less, but I was unable to work either thing out. Have you done any comparison of Lyka and Five Hounds yourself?” Sep 25, 10:24
- on 5 Hounds Dog Food Review (By Dr Will): “We recently tried an order of 5 Hounds based on the David’s recommendation and are pleased to report that it is all it’s made out to be. Since our border collie eats most anything (he’ll happily scarf up citrus if dropped on the floor or left unattended) the fact that he’s keen on each of the five recipes probably doesn’t mean much for most readers’ dogs, so here are some observations that may be more relevant. Compared with Lyka, the 5 hounds packets are more compact and at the same time more concasse, i.e. roughly chopped than Lyka’s conglomerate bits, which may make a difference to some pickier dogs. There are five recipes: venison, beef, kangaroo, goat and fish. Lyka stopped making their fish recipe last year, though unlike 5 Hounds, it has excellent chicken and turkey options. As the review mentions, 5 Hounds uses low heat cooking. Even so, the packets are chokka with the the bloody juices that dogs love. Not that far off from what you’d find in raw barf patty like Petzo’s Kangaroo. So it’s a little messier than Lyka. But then again, maybe safer in terms of the potential for cross contamination in the kitchen than straight up raw. We like all of the above mentioned foods, and they agree with doggo, as judged by his exceptionally shiny coat and firm stools. We’ll be rotating these, one order at a time as freezer space permits.” Sep 24, 15:27
- on 5 Hounds Dog Food Review (By Dr Will): “I switched my 2 Frenchie’s to 5 hounds from Lyka due to my fussy girl no seeming to enjoy the Lyka as much anymore. They both absolutely love it, my girl seems to really enjoy the more moist mince texture. I also love that my allergy prone boy can eat all 5 flavours. It comes in 500g flat pouches, which are pretty quick to defrost in water when we forget to pull them out of the freezer the night before.” Sep 24, 05:16
- on What’s the best dog food (in Australia)?: “Thanks for sharing these insights! It’s a really solid, comprehensive guide to canine nutrition, joint care, and targeted supplements. Here are the main takeaways: Diet & Rotation: Pair high-quality kibble (like Cherish) with air-dried foods, rotation of flavors, and small amounts of fresh meat, organs, and safe fruits/veggies—avoiding extra starches. Treats: Stick to single-ingredient options (like beef jerky) or high-value brands (like Providore or Yours Droolly). Prevention & Supplements: Protect joints early with green-lipped mussels, bone broth, or Antinol, and support heart and gut health with nutrient-rich foods, quality animal oils (like salmon or Mega Oil), and specialized boosters.” Sep 23, 17:23

My ridgback in particular has been extreamley lethargic has had mood changes and behaving strangely vomiting and had major diorehha woolworths want to offer me a goodwill fee of $163 and have me sign a waver i only found out now that they make the food this is really deceitful as I wasnt aware they made it as they omitted this and made their gesture a good will after taking the bag of food back and stating they would contact the manufacturer. This is however themselves. I feel really upset with this and so devestated with guilt for how many times ive needed to take my dogs to the vet but just xan not afford it.

- on Prime100 Dog Food Rolls Review: “Although dogs are capable of digesting plant foods, they’re still more carnivorous than the pet food industry would like us to believe – for example, they’re far more similar to cats in terms of dental structure, instinct, gut length and digestive physiology as they are to us as omnivores, yet this simple science often gets swept under the carpet as it doesn’t help sell cheap to produce high-carbohydrate nuggets as dog food.” Sep 14, 20:04
- on Larry’s Lunch Dog Food Review: “Larry’s lunch is a con. We were supposed to get our first delivery today and at 6.30pm it hasn’t arrived and neither has the return phone call we were supposed to get. After hours admin were no help either. Larry’s lunch are quick to take your money but that’s where their service ends. I will be making sure everyone knows that this is not a reputable company.” Sep 13, 17:05
- on Prime100 Dog Food Rolls Review: “Dogs are omnivorous. Mine get a mix of quality kibble, cooked carrot and broccolini, fish (sardine or bassa) Prime kanga and pumpkin and a dollop of Woolworths high protein yoghurt. Some days an egg. I never feed them grains except rice, sometimes. They seem bright and cheerful, their stools are black/dark brown, well formed and firm. I weigh their food for precise control of weight.” Sep 13, 14:06

- on ProBalance Dog Food Review: “This product chicken gravy chunks from pro balance is the only thing the dogs eat. I buy up to 30 tins per month, but i have now gotten how many tins full of gravy without chunks. How can we resolve this. I have got a video to prove this and i am really upset” Sep 6, 01:47
- on How to feed your new puppy: “Hi there, I am currently feeding my 4 month standard poodle (10.9kg) 2 x per day ( just transitioned from 3 x per day). I get overwhelmed with all the information, and of course want to give her a great diet. She gets 2 small human plain mince patties with a spoon of lennys kitchen muesli moistened in puppy milk, and a spoon of mixed frozen (thawed) veg, and a chicken neck for breakfast ….. and evening is black hawke puppy kibble… she’ll eat as much as she feels then finishes it off during the course of the day. In reading your reviews, I feel this is ok ? But I could occassionally add/ switch out something for an egg / sardines, And I think she’d love a meaty bone ? Any additional advice / confirmation would be appreciated. Thankyou” Sep 1, 12:37
- on Warning – Australian treats imported from China: “Chicken tenders made in China have to zapped before entering Australia. My JRT won’t eat them. Tenders made in Thailand not a problem because they do not have to be zapped when entering Australia.” Aug 27, 12:46
- on Eureka Dog Food Review: “I was excited when they released their new recipes that included “Single Protein Kangaroo” and “Turkey and Duck”. Alas, it was only after ordering that I realised they also have a new recipe style with higher carbohydrate content and the inclusion of Faba Beans. I realise it is probably a cost thing, but I’m sad they couldn’t stick to their original recipe style” Aug 23, 06:18
