Healthy Everyday Pets Dog Food Review

Healthy Everyday Pets has shown to be a very reputable Australian pet food company. In terms of kibble they produce the highest meat protein dog food made in Australia, and it’s also very low carbohydrates. For our Healthy Everyday Pets dog food review we’ll focus on the Athlete formula as the pick of the bunch.

When Healthy Everyday Pets was launched it was fronted by celebrity chef Pete Evans, the “Paleo Chef”. Unlike some terrible Australian brands fronted by celebrity vets, the paleo philosophy lends itself amazingly well to a true canine diet. Pete Evans is no longer involved with the brand, which instead is now fronted by it’s true owners – Michael Ryan, personal trainer to the likes of Hugh Jackman and James Marsden, and his wife Zoe, nutritionist from Good Chef Bad Chef. Both are resounding dog lovers who are committed to bettering the health of dogs, and going by the ingredients in this dog food they know a thing or two about the right way of doing it.

Healthy Everyday Pets Dog Food Review

For this review we’ll focus on Healthy Everyday Pets Athlete as the leading recipe in the range. It’s high protein, high fat, and low carbs – all great things when it comes to a true canine diet. The other formulas are good, just not as good as Athlete. It’s designed for high-energy dogs, but if we’re honest the formula is great for any dogs, even lazy dogs. It’s mostly meat after all, and dog’s need meat.

There’s some great claims on the Healthy Everyday Pets packaging, and they really show the company knows what’s good for a dog.

Here’s a few:

• 86% of protein is from real meat sources – perfect for a canine.
• 36% total protein – making this one of the highest protein dry dog foods in Australia.
• Low carbs/low sugars – a dog doesn’t need carbohydrates or sugars.
• Grain and gluten free.
• Locally sourced.
• With Kale, Turmeric, Green Lipped Mussels, and a mixture of selected herbs – all very nice inclusions.

If the labelling is anything to go by then we know Healthy Everyday Pets Athlete is up there with the best, so let’s dig a little deeper and see what the ingredients and analysis really tell us about this dog food…

The first two ingredients are a combo of protein-dense chicken meal and ocean fish meal, which we know are in a significant amount as they equate to 86% of the protein. The third ingredient as chick pea flour will make up most of the remaining protein as well as fibre, and is relatively easy for a dog to digest.

Edible tallow is somewhat ambiguous, and for the sake of transparency would be better listed as something more specific, such as beef tallow, but simply put is the fat content of the food.

We find some really nice inclusions in all Healthy Everyday Pets dog foods, such as apple, alfalfa, and kelp, all listed above salt at 1% to ensure us there’s a reasonable amount. We also find a whole list of smaller inclusions which should provide benefit in small amounts – marine fish oil, coconut oil, green lipped mussels, and chondroitin to support joint health and wellbeing, and turmeric as an anti-carcinogenic.

Pre and probiotics are included for gut health, as well as all required vitamins and minerals.

Healthy Everyday Pets dog food, particularly the Athlete formula (although the others are good too), sits way above the bar. It’s one of the best high-protein, high-fat, and low carbohydrate Australian dry dog foods you can buy.

Give it a go!
