It is hard to compare two bags from the picture on the front. We list the facts from the pack on every product page, so you can put foods side by side.
Life stage, breed size, protein and pack size are on every product page, with the ingredient and feeding details shown on the pack. If a detail is not on the pack, we say so rather than guess.
Puppy, adult and senior foods are labelled by their makers for different ages. The pack gives the age range and the product page repeats it.
Small breed food has smaller kibble and often comes in smaller bags. Large breed food has bigger kibble and bigger bags. Each page states the weight range from the pack.
The pack weight is on every page. Divide the price by the kilos to compare bags of different sizes, then use the feeding guide to see how long a bag will last.
We sell dog food. We do not give health advice. For allergies, weight or a medical diet, ask your vet, then use the ingredient list to check a food against what they tell you.
Changed your mind? Send unopened food back within 14 days of delivery, sealed in its original packaging, for a full refund. That is on top of your Australian Consumer Law rights.
A place to start in each part of the range. Compare the rest by life stage, breed size, protein and pack size on the shop page. Free Australia-wide delivery on orders of $99 or more.
A closer look at the packs. The ingredient list and feeding guide are on each product page.


Start with the feeding guide on the pack. It gives a daily amount for your dog's weight, and we show it on the product page. Split that amount across the day's meals and weigh it on kitchen scales, because scoops vary. The guide is a starting point. If you are not sure your dog is at the right weight, ask your vet.
That depends on your dog and your routine. Dry food is easy to store, keeps for weeks once opened and usually costs less per day. Wet food comes in single serves, has a stronger smell and needs the fridge once opened. Plenty of owners feed both. If you mix them, reduce the amount of each so the bowl still adds up to one day's food.
Gradually, over about a week. Mix a little of the new food into the old, then raise the share of new food every day or two until the bowl is all new food. Order the new bag before the old one runs out so you have enough of both. If your dog is on a medical diet, ask your vet before changing anything.
Keep dry food in a cool, dry place, in its own bag with the top rolled down or inside a sealed tub. The bag carries the best before date and batch code, so keep it until the food is finished. Cover opened cans and pouches, put them in the fridge and use them within the time printed on the label. Check the best before date when your order arrives.
The life stage on the pack tells you which age group the maker made the food for: puppies, fully grown dogs or older dogs. The age each stage starts depends on breed size, so read the age range on the pack. Every product page lists the life stage. Your vet can tell you when to move your dog from one to the next.
It mostly changes the size of the kibble and the size of the bag. Small breed food has small pieces that suit a small mouth. Large breed food has bigger pieces and comes in bigger bags. Each product page lists the breed size, and the pack gives a weight range you can check against your dog.
Yes. We deliver to every state and territory, including regional and rural addresses. Delivery is free on orders of $99 or more and a flat $12 under that. We dispatch within 2 working days. Delivery then takes up to 7 working days by tracked courier. Remote areas can take a few days longer.

Choosing dog food gets easier once you know what to read on the pack. Four facts do most of the sorting: the life stage, the breed size, whether the food is dry or wet, and the protein. After that it comes down to the ingredient list, the feeding guide and the price per kilo. This guide goes through each one. We are a store, not vets, so where a health question comes up we will say so and point you to yours.
Every pack names the life stage it was made for: puppy, adult or senior. Some say all life stages. Match it to the age of your dog.
The age a puppy becomes an adult, and an adult becomes a senior, depends on the size of the dog. Small dogs are fully grown sooner than large ones. The pack gives an age range, and your vet can tell you when your own dog should move up.
Breed size on a pack means the adult weight of the dog. The pack lists a weight range, such as under 10 kg for small breeds or over 25 kg for large breeds. The ranges differ a little from maker to maker, so read the one on the pack.
What changes. Mainly the kibble. Small breed kibble is cut small and large breed kibble is bigger. Bag sizes follow. Small breed food often comes in bags of 1 to 3 kg, and large breed food in bags of 12 kg and up. Plenty of adult food has no breed size on the pack at all, and that is where most owners of medium dogs look.
Dry food. Kibble comes in bags from about 1 kg to 20 kg. It is easy to measure and store, and it keeps for weeks after opening if you seal the bag. It usually costs less per day than wet food.
Wet food. Cans, trays and pouches hold one serve or a few. Wet food contains far more water than dry food, so a dog eats many more grams of it in a day. That is why you cannot compare wet and dry food on price per kilo. Compare the cost per day instead.
Both. Many owners feed dry food with some wet food on top. If you do, cut back each one so the total still matches a day of food.
Ingredients are listed by weight, heaviest first, so the first few make up most of the recipe. Look for the named protein, such as chicken, beef, lamb or fish, and see where it sits in the list. A food sold as chicken and rice should show both near the top.
Grain free. A grain free recipe leaves out wheat, corn, rice and other grains and uses something else, often potato, peas or lentils. The ingredient list shows what. Whether grain free suits your dog is a question for your vet, not for a store.
Allergies. If your dog reacts to an ingredient, read the full list on the product page, then read it again on the pack when it arrives, because recipes change. For anything to do with allergies or a medical diet, ask your vet.
Bag prices are hard to compare because bags come in different sizes. Two sums fix that.
Cost per kilo. Divide the price by the weight. A 15 kg bag at $90 is $6 a kilo. A 3 kg bag at $30 is $10 a kilo. Bigger bags usually cost less per kilo, but only buy a size your dog will finish before the best before date.
Cost per day. Find the weight of your dog in the feeding guide and read off the daily amount in grams. Multiply it by the cost per kilo and divide by 1,000. A dog eating 250 g a day of a $6 a kilo food costs $1.50 a day to feed, and a 15 kg bag lasts 60 days. This is the fairest way to compare two foods, because the daily amount differs from one food to the next.
Change food slowly, over about a week. Start with roughly a quarter new food and three quarters old for the first two days. Go half and half for the next two days, then three quarters new, then all new.
Order the new food before the old bag runs out so the two overlap. If your dog is on a diet set by a vet, check with the vet before you change it.
Keep dry food somewhere cool and dry, out of the sun. Leave it in its bag, roll the top down and clip it, or stand the whole bag inside a sealed tub. The bag has the best before date and the batch code printed on it, and you will need those if there is ever a problem.
Unopened cans and pouches keep in the pantry. Once opened, cover them, put them in the fridge and use them within the time on the label. Wash the bowl and the scoop regularly.
Treats are extras, not meals. The pack gives a daily limit, and many packs say to reduce the main meal a little on days with a lot of treats. Small soft treats suit training because you can give several in one session.
Chews come in different sizes. Choose one that suits the size of your dog, give no more than the pack says, and stay with your dog while it chews. Keep fresh water down at all times.
Note the age and weight of your dog. Pick the life stage and breed size to match. Choose dry, wet or both, and a protein your dog already eats. Read the ingredient list. Find the daily amount in the feeding guide and work out the cost per day. Pick a bag size your dog will finish before the best before date. Add treats if you want them. Then check the order total, in Australian dollars: delivery is free at $99 or more.
Buy for the age and size of your dog, read the ingredient list and feeding guide rather than the front of the bag, and compare on cost per day. Every product page here lists those details so you can decide before you order. If you change your mind, you have 14 days from delivery to return food that is still unopened and sealed.
