- on ALDI Natural Elements Dog Food Review: “I was very disappointed yesterday i went to aldi to get a bag of Nutural elements my boys seem to like it but yesterday when i reached in to grab a hand full there was a dead rodent in there these bags are well sealed so it must have been in the packaging department, I have sent an email with pics regarding the matter I will be contacting the pet food association next, this is not on” Nov 2, 06:14
- on Bugsy Dog Food Review: “Toy poodle loved the Bugsy Kangaroo. It looked nice and fresh compared to other brands. And lasting freshness given a small packet which I prefer. I’m yet to try other flavours” Nov 1, 08:39
- 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

- on What’s the best dog food (in Australia)?: “Hi David, I love your website and have used it as a guide for my food sensitive dogs for years. I currently feed a mixture of Black Hawk dental kibble and raw food – alternate between Big Dog and Tucker Tub. Have tried both Lyra and Eureka but simply cannot afford to feed my two big dogs with it on a permanent basis. I am always hoping to see a review for Tucker Tub but nothing so far. It seems very good. Affordable and excellent customer service I have found. I would love your opinion though. Best regards, Peggy.” Oct 19, 05:24
- on Optimum Dog Food Review: “My Rhodesian ridgeback ate this for the first time and was passing gas and refusing to eat, he has never refused to eat before and I thought it was strange, he also left food in his bowl and didn’t eat it all which he has never done. My Pocket Bully loves food and has never reacted badly to it, but after eating the optimum dried food her belly grew to the size of a volleyball, she was so uncomfortable and could barely move, she had a rash all over her body and very itchy paws, she was also passing gas all day. She has never hesitated to eat food that’s in front of her but she paused and slowly started eating, she also left some in her bowl which she never does. My English blue staffy is 12 years old and has never had any problems with any food and she eats cat poo…she backed up and didn’t want to eat it, so I tapped her bowl and called her over and she started eating it very slowly and cautiously like she didn’t like the taste of it. I woke up the next morning to find her bloated but no where near as bad as my Pocket Bully. I thought that maybe my dogs just had sensitive guts but they’ve never reacted to food like that to anything before and after reading the other peoples reviews I know that its not just my dogs and there is something seriously wrong with that brand.” Oct 14, 13:04
- on David D’Angelo: “Hi Tara, there’s a review of Hypro dog food, but alas no Hypro cat food review. I’m on it, so in a few days if you search for Hypro it should appear. Here’s the dog food review – https://www.petfoodreviews.com.au/hypro-premium-dog-food-review/” Oct 13, 01:03

- on 5 Hounds Dog Food Review (By Dr Will): “I have also switched our border collie to 5 hounds. He has been on it for about 8 months now and he has thrived. He had lots of gut issues in the past and he has not had any on 5 hounds. Even Lyka gave him an upset stomach. (Lyka has also not worked for some other dogs I know and has caused gut issues for them too.) He never used to be very enthusiastic about food, because of his stomach, but now he gets excited. It’s just such a relief to see. I can’t recommend 5 hounds enough. His coat is shiny. The flavours are great and you can see the goodness in every packet. I am surprised that this didn’t make on the best dog food list in 2026” Oct 4, 09:30
- on Cat food for urinary care – what you should really consider for the health of your cat: “My 8yo cat was recently diagnosed first with cystitis, then they found crystals in her urine. Anti-inflammatories and antibiotics seemed to make no difference. The vet recommended the Hills c/d urinary care dry and wet food. I was at my wits end so eventually complied and after just a week I am finally seeing improvement. From what I understand, these diets actually have active ingredients that make urine more acidic which helps dissolve the crystals. Why you can only get this in food and not as a drug the vet can give you to administer daily, I do not know… My cats were all fed the best dry food recommended here and Raw and Fresh kangaroo basics once a day. I do worry now that if I go back to that, she may suffer this problem again in the future.” Oct 3, 14:50

- on 5 Hounds Dog Food Review (By Dr Will): “Hi Meghan, I think the price of 5 Hounds compared to Lyka can vary based on breed and other feeding requirements, so they’re very comparable – I think both brands are deserving of the same high rating, and if you feed either it’s got to be a win. A lot of people feed kibble as well to keep costs down (me included), and I’ve found Petzyo to be a really decent choice and a brand I also feed my dog.” Sep 29, 15:59
