I haven't seen this one posted before, so i thought I'd share.

I feed my dogs grain free dog food, it seems to help minimise ear wax and ear infections and generally they seem to do better on it. However, it's expensive!

The Natures Goodness brand from Woolies is the cheapest I've found and it seems quite good. Petbarn have got a good one that's more expensive (and you have to deal with Petbarn) and for a while I was getting one from Amazon which they no longer sell.

So not only is the Woolies one the cheapest I've found, BUT it's currently on special, making it even cheaper. It was this price a couple of weeks ago, and then a few months back to the last time it was on special. I have 7 bags in the shed and will be buying more.

    My dogs feed this to me and any other tidbits I can scavenge from their leftover steak.

    Hi JV, do you feed your dog biscuits and if so which brand is your choice, i am unfortunately in a position that I have to feed chicken free which basically limits me to meals for mutts and one of the ivory coat varieties,

    Mfm is only 20% protein and 10% fat so I supplement with extra protein in the form of either sardines or mince,

  Read the reviews.

  You can argue the case Nature’s Goodness Grainfree Nutrition is better than home brands which come from the same facility, but the quality of all ingredients is suspect and likely cheap.

    Agreed, got this food really cheap so tried to mix it with my dogs usual food. After a week or so of heavy flatulence and the runs i just threw it all out and went back to my over-priced kibble.

  "Meat and meat meals (poultry, beef and duck) and/or Poultry By-Products" as the first ingredient is quite… broad. What is it made of?

  $3.90/kg @ Woolworths

  I just came back from Woolies after getting into an argument to buy 1kg from the bag I opened in the store…

  I showed them the link to this post, but they wouldn't have a bar of it…

    Did you weigh it on the scales, or did you bring your own?

      jv on 07/08/2023 - 10:48

      I used the scales in the fresh fruit & veg section.

  The majority of pet kibble, and particularly cheaper brands like this, are junk food. But even the expensive brands, like the ones your vet sells, are still not great for your pets, although sometimes necessary if your pet has specific dietary restrictions.

  What is kibble? Basically, it's the cheapest meat byproducts available (bone carcasses, offal, lungs, brains, hooves and feet, tails, etc) which are ground into a fine paste or "meal". Then, cheap filler is added for bulk. This may be wheat, rice or barley, or in grain-free products is usually legumes like peas and lentils. The US FDA has found that kibble with legumes can significantly increase heart disease in dogs. Grain based kibble is too carbohydrate dense and can cause dietary issues, stomach upsets and obesity. Kibble who's primary ingredient is meat meal is better than one who's primary ingredients are grain or legumes, but not much.

  Once all this stuff is blended into a paste, it's baked into little tasteless cookies at very high temperature to kill all the pathogens in the rotting meat meal and to increase shelf life. This high temperature cooking destroys most of the macronutrients in the food. It's then sprayed with a mixture of synthetic vitamins (to replace those detroyed by cooking) animal fat, and meat flavouring agents, so that the animal will eat it.

  There is an epidemic level of disease in western pet populations: obesity, diabetes, cancer, arthritis etc. And it's because corporate marketing has convinced us that packaged junk food is the right thing to feed our pets. Please, if you want your pets to live longer in good health, abandon processed food and feed them actual fresh food. There are loads of reputable sites that offer fresh, balanced species-appropriate food recipes you can make and freeze, here's just one:

  And there are plenty of pre-prepared fresh food options for pets nowadays, including Lyka, rawandfresh, petfresh, and Pet Barn's Nosh, just to name a few.
