- David D'Angelo on Applaws Cat Food Review: “Hi Tracy, I’m not sure if the cat food range has been phased out or just low supply. Applaws dry dog food is still available.” Jan 30, 02:10
- on What’s the best dog food (in Australia)?: “Can you please review 5 Hounds by Dr. Will? I have just started using it and am finding it the best I have tried. Been raw feeding for nearly 10 years and the consistency of this one is spot on, single proteins, developed by a Vet and my dogs love it.” Jan 29, 03:14
- on Alert Plus+ Dog Food Review: “Well , a comment to a woke review from someone who wouldn’t know the front from the back of a working dog. We have used Alert dog pellets for many years for our working farm kelpie dogs. Have never had a problem with dogs not having enough energy , getting fat and lazy or too thin. It’s a good honest value product that has met our requirements for many years.” Jan 27, 12:07
- on Hypro Premium Dog Food Review: “Thanks for the reviews. My dogs have had MFM for years and last year we had loads of issues with upset tummies, vomiting and food looking burnt and with large pieces of what looked like corn, even though corn wasn’t on the ingredients list. I now realise that they changed manufacturers so that would probably explain issues. We saw others had issues with mould etc too. I am trying the hypro food for my dogs as I found out in your reviews that they used to manufacture the MFM when they were a better quality food. Thanks ☺️” Jan 27, 09:32
- on Applaws Cat Food Review: “This is out of stock everywhere,I haven’t seen the chicken one available for over a year,I’m in Perth. My cats only eat this and are not fond of any wet food really they eat a 1/4 of a tin of fancy feast but really only one eats the most. Unlike my last cat who lived to 22 and ate everything these two don’t eat anything else, no titbits, chicken nothing no matter what I try just biscuits Applaws. I’m lucky that they drink a lot of water from their fountain ironically Unlike my old girl. Have you any idea why this is out of stock? I have emailed Applaws and I’m waiting on a response. I know they should have variety but they won’t eat anything except for the odd fly believe me I have tried they are indoor cats.” Jan 25, 20:40
- on ZIWI Peak Cat Food Review: “You need to update this review, ZIWI got sold and reformulated” Jan 21, 10:36
- on Woofbix Dog Food Review: “Hi Kat, Orijen would be the closest kibble to a meat (and veg) “whole prey” diet, but in turn is much more expensive than a kibble made of wheat/cereals/by-products.” Jan 20, 18:27
- on Woofbix Dog Food Review: “I bought this knowing it was crap quality for my dog only because I looked at every other bag of the more expensive dog food and they all had the same ingredients. All mainly carbohydrates, all wheat byproducts and all meat by products, just for double the price. Where the hell can you buy dry food that’s 100% meat and veggies?” Jan 19, 13:33
- on Warning – Australian treats imported from China: “i have been making chicken jerky for my dogs for ages. i nought a dehydrator i use fresh chicken breast and slice it thin . it takes 13 hours to dehydrate properly. don’t add anything to the meat make sure dehydration is complete good luck” Jan 18, 18:11

It was just myself and the other owner that spoke to the press about this.” Jan 15, 17:35
- on What’s the best dog food (in Australia)?: “Hi Georgina, sorry for the delay in responding. Sunday Pets were actually one of the first brands I reviewed, and having went away for a while are now back – it’s a good thing, as it’s a pretty good brand. Here’s a review – https://www.petfoodreviews.com.au/sunday-pets-dog-food-review/” Jan 14, 21:58
- on What’s the best puppy food?: “Hi Margaret, I suppose kibble offered a much simpler solution for all those decades when we didn’t realise how potentially flawed and unhealthy it can be – a convenience food, really! There’s so much contradicting information these days, but I feel a good start is an emphasis on foods made from animal rather than starchy carbs, and variety is a good start. For example, feeding a kibble as 80% of a diet, then giving your dog 20% fresh meat, organs, raw meaty bones, eggs, fish (like sardines or tuna), and perhaps some veggies or fruit if they like it. Or feeding better foods if they are affordable, and still supplementing with fresh and healthy foods. Hopefully trying not to overthink! This video could be a good starting point – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8egM0Rq-pw&t=26s” Jan 14, 21:03
- on Zignature Dog Food Review: “I have the same problems feeding my cat and dog separately – harder to do than it sounds! Although cats shouldn’t have dog food because they have a more stringent requirement for animal proteins and fats (and shouldn’t really consume starchy carbs at all), it could probably said a Zignature dog food formula is arguably better than most terrible excuses for cat foods.” Jan 14, 20:56
- on Pure Life Dog Food Review: “Hi Rachel, I find weight (overweight or underweight) can be better addressed by feeding the right food rather than adjusting quantities, so it’s possibly a higher calorie food made more from animal ingredients and animal fats can help a dog return to an ideal weight better than a low calorie “weight loss” food made of grains like rice or corn. It’s worth assessing the food you’ve been feeding until this point and considering whether the ingredients were optimal (i.e. does it have a lot of grains or other starchy carbs?) Here’s a more detailed article about how much a dog should be fed – hopefully that may help!” Jan 14, 20:52
- on What’s the best dog food (in Australia)?: “Hi Catherine, thank you for the great feedback! Petzyo should be absolutely fine for your Golden Retriever. It’s a good well-priced option, and I know many of the top brands I recommend get very costly for larger breeds (and my own Border Collie for that matter!). I always see variety as a good thing, and the Petzyo raw patties are worth looking into as well.” Jan 14, 20:48
- on Wellness CORE Cat Food Review: “Hi Samantha, not good news if your cats were vomiting. Did you return the bag or have any other issues later? There could be a number of reasons – a manufacturing issue or bad batch is a possibility, but also issues with transport and storage, such as bags being left in hot sun or a hot warehouse, so it may not be an issue from Wellness per se. I didn’t realise Petbarn no longer sell Wellness, so thank you – updated.” Jan 14, 20:45
- on Black Hawk Dog Food Review: “Something worth considering with the loose stools on Royal Canin Maxi – this could be the result of an iffy bag, but also dogs develop intolerances over time when fed only one brand of kibble.” Jan 14, 19:25
- on The Truth About Grain Allergies in Dogs: “Thanks Emmie, my heart goes out to anyone who’s lost a dog from glyphosate and lymphoma, and I’ll never forget losing my own dog Archie 4 years ago – I still think of him often, with so many fond memories. Thank you for your support. It means a lot to me articles such as this are read and have value. When writing them I never feel like they’re written very well or very useful, but hopefully they are!” Jan 14, 19:06
- on What’s the best dog food (in Australia)?: “I find Scratch very similar to Petzyo, and it’s not a brand I hear anything negative about. I have to say their new range of raw looks really good.” Jan 14, 19:02
