- Maggie on What’s the best cat food (in Australia)?: “Can i swtich indoor cats’ diet beween raw and canned wet food? Do i need to do monitor worm control for them as well? I have been tried to feed my kitten and one year old cat with premium Wet food like ziwi peak, talentail, addition. they dont like at all in any way even i mixed with their favourite Purina one and Dine. Would a premium dry food improve their diets? They so far like all brands of dry food. Thank you.” Nov 11, 14:17
- on Larry’s Lunch Dog Food Review: “I had a disappointing experience with Larry’s Lunch. Firstly, the food arrived two days later than the provided delivery date, and the contact number only seemed to be a message-taking service rather than someone who could assist directly. Secondly, my dog experienced repeated vomiting after trying several recipes. Despite introducing the food gradually, using probiotics and mixing small portions with his usual Taste of the Wild kibble, he continued vomiting after eating the meals. After being woken up by his vomiting on five occasions, I decided to stop feeding it. He had previously tolerated 5 Hounds and Lyka without issues and has been fine since stopping Larry’s Lunch. Finally, when I contacted the owner to explain the situation and request a refund for the unused meals, he expected me to independently organise and pay for a specialised frozen courier to return the food from Perth to Queensland. I had high hopes for Larry’s Lunch, but between the delayed delivery, my dog’s reaction and the impractical refund arrangements, I can’t recommend them based on my experience.” Nov 10, 15:45
- on Cat Food Reviews in Australia: “Great review! I appreciate how you share useful information about different cat food brands. It really helps pet owners make better choices. Which cat food brand would you recommend most for cats with sensitive stomachs, and why?” Nov 9, 18:19

- on CatChi Cat Food Review: “Hi Lorraine, I see this behaviour a lot with cats. They’re slightly autistic, which means if they’re used to a fairly unvaried diet, fed a single brand, or single type of food like kibble, then they simply don’t recognise a new food as food. It can take a bit of persistence, so rather than throw away the food you’ve bought, leave it out a while longer – cats won’t go hungry if there’s food around.” Nov 8, 16:50
- on Larry’s Lunch Dog Food Review: “I have not found that at all. Aaron has been so helpful and always answered my emails the same day (Sometimes within minutes)! I have had a delivery that was not delivered on the allocated day/time, but feel that was a courier issue (I live in WA). I will continue my subscription with Larry’s Lunch and my boy Ollie loves it.” Nov 6, 08:45

- on 5 Hounds Dog Food Review (By Dr Will): “I have a little Moodle (5.2kg) 8 years old who, a few months back started having poos encased partly in mucous. My Vet suggested changing diet so have been through a long process of trial and error, non of which worked. Poos have become very soft although formed but disintegrate when picked up. Stool sample showed a small micro-organism (Sorry cant remember what) so Vet suggested Hills ID diet which is not working either, although not as much mucous, added to which she doesn’t get very excited about her food anymore. I am so confused now about what to do as up to now most of her diet has involved chicken in some form or another. As an interim Pet Barn suggested Royal Canin gastrointestinal wet food and the same for kibble. (only got this today) Added to all this she has just been diagnosed with Cushing’s disease but is not on meds as yet as Vet wanted to sort out gut problem first. Please can you help.” Oct 31, 11:21
- on What’s the best cat food (in Australia)?: “Mentioning that cats evolved as desert animals relying on prey for moisture clarifies why hydration can be such an overlooked issue. Many people likely assume a water bowl is enough, so connecting their evolutionary background to their daily dietary needs provides helpful context.” Oct 29, 11:12
- on What’s the best cat food (in Australia)?: “It’s amazing to read how much the Australian cat food landscape has changed over the twenty years of this project. The point about cats being obligate carnivores with zero need for grains, while so many were fed grain-heavy kibble, really explains why moisture keeps coming up as the thing most cats are missing. I hadn’t thought about how much early kidney trouble might tie back to that. Thanks for keeping this updated; it’s a useful place to start when comparing wet foods.” Oct 29, 09:38
- on FLAWED! Vegan cat food study, Griffith University FAIL!: “I reported the phys.org article about it as abusive to Google. This is terrible! You cannot claim to love your pet and force them into a diet you KNOW is killing them. No one is perfect, but at least look up what nutrients they need, what they can and can’t eat, and research the damn food! What is wrong with people? You have a lot of information out there with easy access too if you’re willing to do the work. It’s not hard! The best thing you can do is Try.” Oct 24, 13:48
