Hi guys, it's been a few months but we actually tried Eureka. We were a little put off by the website and the amount of info we had to give, but they were absolutely great when I called them. After about 3+ months all I can say is it's a great dog food. Very much like ziwipeak but a bit different texture - neither in a good or bad way, but different. At first my dog noticed her food was different but after a few days is definitely more enthusiastic about her dinner than before. Coat is shiny and she's full of beans. Not bad for a 7 year old going on 8!

I feed such a variety including fresh, raw, and BARF. Recently Acana to keep costs down a little (two dogs) as can't really afford Orijen. We've also been feeding Ziwipeak as part of the diet but just going to try the new Eureka food which is Australian and looks amazing. I always check pet food reviews as my pet food bible. Such insightful information and gone are the days my dogs had itchy skin and other issues (won't name the brand we used to use, but it's mentioned by someone above.)

We use a FURminator which is great (we have two medium to long hair border collies, one is like a rasta dog). You need to get rid of mats first though, as the shedding tool will tug otherwise.

We had a litter of pups who managed to get fleas. You can't treat puppies for fleas so we did our best to manage the situation with combing etc but you can image how tough it got in those 8 weeks - the stuff nightmares are made of! We found frontline wasn't very effective. It definitely didn't work on our cat, and when we hired a pest controller he said the same about Frontline. We used oral tablets from the vet - Nexguard - and they worked far better for our cat and dog. We treated the pups with Frontline as soon as we were able but it wasn't very effective unfortunately. Also, once fleas are in the house they're 30% on your pets and 70% in the environment. Flea eggs can hang around for a year before hatching. Thankfully flea treatments really helped, and a lot of cleaning. Because our situation was so bad we had the pest controller come out and spray (which was worrying for our pets) But a couple of fleas found on your dog should be easily treatable if they haven't laid eggs in the house, and once treated any hatching fleas which jump on your dog should die with a day.

Hi there, we're looking for a new food to try and came across Eureka. Very similar to Ziwipeak but Australian. The pet food site has a really great review but seems like a new product - https://www.petfoodreviews.com.au/eureka-dog-food-review/

Hi everyone, new to the forum - thanks for letting me join! This is my rather unique Border Collie "Bat Girl" hanging out at Scarborough beach!

I heard air tight containers weren't a good idea. I think from Karen Becker? Mercola Healthy Pets
