Skye2 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have just ordered some so will keep you posted on how it goes. My dog is the fussiest eater ever so it will be interesting to see if he eats it. It is expensive at $174 for 4 kg (makes up to 16 kg). If he eats it, it will be worth it as i am sure i throw out just as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I got a sniff it does smell great but for the price you may as well go to the butcher and make your own mix of meat, offal and veges. Way way to pricey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowanbree Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The frozen is a lot cheaper than that. Works out at about the same as doing it yourself and a lot less hassle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Time Puppy Owner Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Cowanbree, wow that is reasonable. I might shoot them an e-mail now.With your skin issue boy did you find any dry food okay? I've ruled out Nutro, Eukanuba, and Proplan. Can't afford Oriijen though. Is Orijen still available in NZ? I had great results with it for my last dane who had frequent colitis. What was not so good was the fact the cat food poisoned my cat but thankfully he was one of the lucky ones who survived. I remember reading some where NZ does not irradiate Orijen Dog Food - but can't seem to find anything on it anywhere?!?! They are on Orijen's site as a country that has a supplier!

karly101 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I've only tried the treats so far on my dog and he loves them! I actually bought it for my ferrets (who love it too). Not sure if I will try the normal packs or just stick to it as a treat. Just a note on the irradiated part.. I was talking to the guy at the pet expo and he absolutely promised that the food will not be irradiated and that is only why it has just become available in Australia..it took him a long time to get it through without.

Nekhbet Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 No I spoke to the rep and she said it is def not irradiated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye2 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Got my food on Friday and have Fed my super fussy dog 2 meals. He loves it and licked the bowl clean. It smells great too. It is recommended to give rmb with it as well. So far so good. Only problem is it is very expensive wish there was some way to get it cheaper.

wagsalot Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Also, I found that I had to break up the little bullets for it to rehydrate. Otherwise, the bullets just sit in the water. Has anyone else experienced this? I've just made some up (first time), and haven't broken the bullets up and it looks really watery - ill go smash them up now. My whole packet was in the fridge too (I hope that doesn't affect things). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) No I spoke to the rep and she said it is def not irradiated Ditto. At the moment, the only one they've been able to get through is the Freeze dried (as opposed to just frozen) Lamb flavour. They are working on getting customs permission to get in other flavours as well, without irradiation. Edited April 26, 2010 by Erny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwioz Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 This is really interesting to read. Since moving back to NZ I have struggled to find a BARF equivalent, have had some funny looks when I ask But the boarding kennels just down the road advertise that they sell K9 Natural so I might have to check it out Especially if they sell the cheaper frozen stuff, though I can see the freeze dried would have its uses.

cowanbree Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Are you in CHCH Kiwi as the factory is there and they have a factory shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagsalot Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well Riley loved it - licked the bowl completely clean. Pretty happy as he can be quite fussy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Dragon Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Can somebody please tell me how long you have to soak it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katdogs Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Seems there have been a few threads about this but they're hard to search because of the short name. Here's the most recent, and if you search 'k9natural' all as one word you get a couple more. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=198784 I couldn't get the food soaked but will try warmer water tonight. Now I've opened the packet we'll finish it, and maybe keep a couple of small packs in the cupboard, but I don't think we can afford it as a regular meal.
