Pet Food Reviews originally only covered dry dog foods (kibbles), but over time many brands of dog food sprung up which were neither dry nor wet.
This collection of “alternative dog food” reviews covers the following types of dog food sold in Australia:
- Air-dried dog foods
- Freeze-dried dog foods
- Made to order dog foods
Generally the quality of these types of dog food is better than kibble, but may also cost more. Many are deterred by the price of alternative dog foods simply because they compare them to kibble, but these cannot be compared like for like – most kibbles contain a great deal of carbohydrates which serve to fill the product and keep the cost down, but often provide little nutrition for your dog.
Most of the alternative dog foods on the following list are formulated more appropriately for your dog and their nutritional requirements.
It’s also worth noting variety is a very good thing in a dog’s diet. There is no reason you should feed any of the following products as the only food for your dog.
Alternative dog food reviews
Air and freeze dried foods are generally more expensive due to their higher quality, so take advantage of offers from Pet Circle or or use Sniff Out to find the best prices on pet products in Australia.
Would you like us to review an alternative dog food not on this list?
If there’s an alternative dog food not reviewed then let us know via the Facebook page or leave a comment below. Please keep in mind with dog food brands constantly changing or being introduced it may take a few weeks for a review to be added! I do my best!
What about Frontier pets
Hi Sharon, Frontier Pets is listed above ;o)
However I should really improve this page.
is NAS (natural animal solutions) Raw review still coming?
Hi could you please review Big Dog Brand .”little Bites “.freeze dried raw .
Hi Deb, Big Dog Little Bites are really good in terms of nutrition. I think they’re only available in the small bags for now, but would be good to see them in larger bags which would be more cost-effective. If that happens I’ll definitely add an in-depth review.
Would love to see you review “Proudi”
NAS (natural animal solutions) Raw would love to see this reviewed. Thank you.
Very soon!
I would be interested to see a review on Big Dog raw Food.

What’s your opinion on the FürFresh freeze dried food based in Australia? 🙂
(Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask)
Hi Adelle, I’ve added it to my list of foods to review, so hopefully in the next couple of days. It’s human grade which is a big plus, and it seems decent.
