- Angela on Bunji Dog Food Review: “I must admit I disagree with this review. I feed my dogs an expensive wet food but they get hungry. They are walked 2-3 times a day. I discovered Bunji in Bunnings and now mix Bunji kibble with the wet food and they love it. I also give them Bunji treats (maybe 2-3 a day as they are small dogs). They now know the word Bunji. “Would you like a Bunji”? For me it is about balance when feeding by pups.” Feb 9, 15:08
- on ZIWI Peak Dog Food Review: “I noticed that several people have asked for a review of the Ziwipeak Steam and dried product but I haven’t seen one yet. Could you possibly do a review of it or direct me to where one might be, thankyou.” Feb 8, 15:37
- on Billie’s Bowl Dog Food Review: “Saw this food at my sons house so i googled it. Red flag came up when i couldnt find the specific owner of the brand. Thanka for clearing up the ingreadients. I think i’ll stick to savorlife” Feb 8, 10:48
- on Woolworths Smitten Cat Food Review: “The Smitten Seafood selction sachets are DISGUSTING!! The smell is hideous, as if something died 3 months ago. Why should cat food smell this dreadful? My cat hated it. Only bought it as he was off his food so I was trying different brands. I note afterwards it is made in Thailand, why?? Do we not have capabilities of creating pet food in Australia? Truly such an awful disgusting product. Woolworths you should be ashamed.” Feb 7, 16:17
- on What’s the best cat food (in Australia)?: “If farmers market a good wet food for my cat, he’s 14 1/2 yrs” Feb 7, 13:12
- on Petzyo Dog Food Review: “I tried my two year old Goodle c Cavoodle on Petzyo kibble after a recommendation from our trainer. I had such high hopes but unfortunately on both the chicken and the kangaroo kibble my dog had runny poos that even with a decent amount of time, additions of probiotics etc, did not improve. We’ve just gone back to BH chicken and rice and the problem has cleared right up. Such a shame!” Feb 6, 11:37
- on Instinctive Bite Dog Food Review: “The facts are incorrect. The meat claim is less than half. Fact. Check with them, not me.I also know (fact) that responses between all brands are not consisent. Example this brand with respnse “Generally if a dog has been fed a single brand of food for a long period of time then reactions to a new food can be common. The cause may not necessarily be the new food, but the result of an intolerance which has built up from a generally unvaried diet. The same applies to us – if we restrict our diets for a long period of time, such as cutting out milk or dairy, then if we reintroduce such foods we suffer an upset stomach. So it’s worth considering if your dog has become intolerant to ingredients in Instinctive Bite which aren’t found in Eukanuba.” isn’t the same response amongst other brands that are less favourable to you or don’t pay advertsing fee to eSensible Pty Ltd. I’m also reading a brand has for example 40 SKU’s and only 1 out of 40 SKU’s (the best one) is selected for review. And the 39 are not even close to the one reviewed. 5 poor complaints on other brands scores significantly lower than this due to 5 poor complaints. And there are equal part complaints with brands that pay for advertising and the highest rating. Without a doubt, to manage all these reviews with one or two people is difficult. Some reviews are inspired by your preference with raw feeding (absolutely nothing wrong with that) but you seem to watch a video or read a book by Tom Lonsdale that gave you 3 and a half hours lecture about teeth and suddenly the mood shifts negatively while writing reviews about certain dry foods. Don’t favour companies as the review can work against you from the people that understand your reviews. 99% of the reviews read by people are relied from you. Your reviews are biased. Factual information, 3 brands made in the same plant, very similar ingredients, very similar/on par nutritional panel, labelled differently, reviewed very differently. But somewhat they’re the same. They all have the same problem. 5 people happened to complai to your site, negatively reviewed. The other companies have the same issue, no complaints on this site, rated well. The ones that pay to advertise here. All I’m saying is go back to the drawing board, re-read the ingredients/nutritional panel, and re-write the scores in a fair way. Example when someone expresses diarrhea in this review and the rating stays at 8.4, do the same with other brands. And remove the rest of your facebook personal profiles so no-two Davids are commenting. FB groups show what you comment in a group in case you forgot.” Feb 6, 05:13
- on Hey Roo! Kangaroo dog foods: “The Meals for Mutts single protein kangaroo contains poultry oils. They deceptively label it as single meat protein and then simply lists natural oils in the ingredients lists. Upon further research it turns out natural oils means the inclusion of poultry oils. Meaning the meat source is kangaroo but the whole product itself is not single protein, contains poultry products and is not suitable for dogs with chicken allergies. I unfortunately found this out after purchasing. You’ve listed the Meals for Mutts in the primary section of this review giving the impression it would be suitable for those on an single protein diet, as I also incorrectly assumed.” Feb 5, 13:07
- on Eureka Dog Food Review: “That is a great idea (and not because we share a name!!!) – my dog also would probably do even better with just kangaroo – but maybe that would be too lean??” Jan 29, 10:01
- on Many wet foods aren’t a nutritionally balanced diet: “Can you do a best wet cat food list please? I have a cat with genetic gum disease and he cant chew on dry food and wont eat it when soaked. I have tried freeze dried also and raw and its a no go. He was eating ziwi peak but has gone off it suddenly and applaws is to expensive for 2 cats. Not to mention Obviously wet food is best for their kidneys and urinary. Please please please do a best wet cat food list. thabk you.” Jan 28, 08:08
- on Trilogy Cat Food Review: “I need a budget wet cat food for kittens who are just turning into adults now. What would be a few possibilities. I have 3 of them! Is it even possible to find affordable good wet food? They’ve been on fancy feast for kittens but don’t really like fancy feast for adult cats. I have just made a purchase of Zealandia chicken pate. But it is quite expensive to feed 3 like this all the time.” Jan 27, 17:43
- on Open Paddock Dog Food Review: “Most skin problems in dogs are caused by kibble nd the reason why is because kibbles are high carb dog foods. Wheat, rice and peas are all carbs. Carbs get converted into sugar. Sugar feeds yeast. The trick is to lower carbs as much as possible. Kibbles are convenient but you are always better off making your own doggie dinners and feeding some raw using fresh natural ingredients. Fresh meats, some vegetables, some pumpkin for probiotics, a little yogurt or raw milk. Add some sardines, perhaps a little hemp seed oil, coconut oil and fresh eggs. K9 Naturals and Ziwipeak (commercial freeze dried/ air dried raw) from NZ are good additions. BTW MANUKA HONEY can help fix stomach problems. Keep some handy.” Jan 26, 15:33
- on What’s the best dog food (in Australia)?: “I was eagerly reading waiting to see a mention with Life wise kibble being included in the best of 2026. I usually use this as a topping for raw feeding. Is this no longer the case Look forward to your reply Judy” Jan 26, 10:51
- on Lyka Dog Food Review: “Change your advertising. Whoever thought it was a good idea to go with a pile of stinking shit as a recommendation for changing to Lyka, should be fired. On principle there is no way this advertising would encourage me to try this brand. Disgusting” Jan 25, 16:24
- on Scratch Dog Food Review: “Just started using Scratch and I’m very happy with it! My sensitive Frenchie is doing wonderfully on 50/50 raw and kangaroo. After years of stinky we finally don’t have to take shelter after meals. Coat is shinny and less itching too. For anyone who wants to try scratch ‘REFJHVRDKRRCT’ gets you $20 off your first box!” Jan 24, 19:37
- on Hypro Premium Dog Food Review: “I’ve been buying hypro premium based on the review you gave more than 1 year ago, but now your review has changed and ou dont rste it so highly it’s made me think I should change the kibble, my dogs don’t have diarrhoea but they poo so much and it could be this kibble, im thinking of changing to black hawke I feed reak chicken or meat as well.” Jan 24, 11:14
- on Hill’s Prescription Diet Dog Food Review: “Here is my problem. My GSD has a problem digesting fat. We recurring bouts of colic, and are going through one as I write. In the past, when all else failed, either cans of Royal Canin low fat or the Hills equivalent, did the trick. Then I switched to Hills dry version of their wet product, which worked, and then eased her back knto Life Wise Biome low fat. But I look at the Hills dry food ingredients and I’m shocked, yet I bought a 3.8kg bag for $99.00 today in desperation and at the vet’s recommendation. He has also put her onto an anti..whatever for seven days to stop the bouts of watery diarrhoea. We had to do that last winter too. So, what do I feed a dog with a fat intolerance problem? The LifeWise low fat worked for quite a while. But for the last two months, her poops became nearly as big as her meal and are mushy, looking like soaked kibble. I liked the idea of Prime100 single source protein – kangaroo and potato and not much else, but by then her gut was so stressed nothing was going to work. Btw, I have never found that chicken and white rice ever worked for diarrhoea.” Jan 23, 18:33
- on Best Budget Dog Food in Australia: “Great article thanks. My 10yr old golden retriever bitch is always Hungry, arn’t they all? So I am very strict with feeding. I mix 1:1 Black Hawk and Supercoat to bulk up her meal. 280grams daily. This maintains her weight at 32kg. Apart from when our dog sitter fed her 280gm twice a day for a month!!! Is this a good strategy? Thanks” Jan 23, 10:26
- on Providore Dog Food Review: “Very disappointing experience. I bought a 4kg Providore dog food from Petbarn and found mold as soon as I opened it. I exchanged it for a 2.5kg bag, but 2 out of 3 bags opened in-store already had a strong smell and visible mold. The last one looked fine, but a few days later my dog started vomiting. When I checked the food again, mold had developed inside. This should never happen with premium dog food. I will not purchase Providore again.” Jan 21, 14:24
- on Eureka Dog Food Review: “Totally agree Sammy. It’s such a shame the cost of this product because my dogs liked the ones that I got when I ordered the sampler packs. Would love to support this business but it’s just way too expensive.” Jan 21, 13:33
