When comparing prices it's important to take into consideration the size of the bag. Smaller bags cost more per kg due to a more intensive labour element. It is more important to take ingredients and quality into consideration not just price per kg. Don’t fall for the big brand hype. Also, if shipping is included in the price.
Dogs are considered carnivores because they have a short intestinal tract that allows them to digest Meat efficiently, yet it doesn’t allow them to digest plant matter too well, unlike herbivores who have a very long digestive tract. Because amino acid profiles contained in animal and plant proteins vary, It’s important to know that ANIMAL PROTEINS are considered “Complete” proteins for dogs and cats, while PLANT PROTEINS are considered “Incomplete” proteins. Proteins are the building blocks of life, and that’s why it is so important to feed your dog with foods based on Animal Protein.
In place of high-glycemic grains such as rice, wheat and corn, Biologically Appropriate dog foods use fruits & vegetables. Fruits & vegetables contain health-boosting vitamins, minerals, fibers and other substances called phytochemicals, in natural, more biologically accessible form
Dogs are considered carnivores because they have a short intestinal tract that allows them to digest Meat efficiently, yet it doesn’t allow them to digest plant matter like grains. Unlike herbivores that have a very long digestive tract that is designed to eat grasses and grains. Grains are not an appropriate protein source and also are thought to be one of the main culprits in some dogs with allergies.
Basically, there are three different types of Omega-3. DHA and EPA are (Long Chain FA) animal source Omega-3s like in fish oil. The 3rd, ALA, is a (Short Chain FA) plant source omega-3 found in Flaxseed, Canola, and Soy Oils. ALA must be converted to DHA or EPA before it is of any nutritional value to a dog. As dogs have not evolved to do this conversion, ALA Omega-3 from plants is considered "inactive" and not Biologically suitable for dogs or cats.
There are many imported and Australian made dog foods that are owned by large overseas companies, meaning a lot of your dollars spent leave our wonderful country. If you can find an Australian Made and Owned dog food that satisfies your dogs needs you will be helping more Australians with jobs and the taxes of these Australian companies will stay on our shores.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, when you change over to any food its best to change gradually, monitoring the stools as you go.
Yes, it is made with small dogs in mind being a small kibble size, however any size adult dog can eat it.
This depends on the breed. Most medium to large breeds between 25kg and 60kg fully grown will stop their rapid growth stage between 8 to 10months so it is best to transition then, while at the same time moving to adult portions which are smaller by weight than the puppy portions. Great Danes take the longest to grow and can be in the rapid growth stage for up to 2 years, so transitioning around 18-24 months would be recommended.
My dog is fussy, which food would you recommend?
Large and giant breed pups are different because they cannot regulate how much calcium they absorb so need less calcium than smaller breeds.
For a full explanation go to our blog article --> https://stayloyal.com.au/is-your-large-or-giant-breed-puppy-getting-too-much-calcium/
There is no particular formula for fussy dogs as any product would be suitable. We recommend trying our Fussy dog feeding guide, because often the dog is fussy due to incorrect feeding techniques that promote fussiness rather than them not liking the food and if done correctly will work for your dog.
