I wouldnt feed any of these to my dogs EVER. Bleh JUNK

[Remarkabull]

I agree with Nekhbet, I wouldn't fee any of that to my dogs.

I don't understand how people can read that list of ingedients and then think that it sounds like a good combination of ingredients to feed a dog? Maybe feed it to a rabbit and then give the rabbit to the dog to eat?

[Jaxx'sBuddy]

txs Nekhbet, i wouldnt use that either.

i feed raw but i like to have kibble on hand just in case.

Which parts are supposed to be 'junk' ?

[persephone]

Sounds more like cattle feed, than dog feed:(

I'd say all the cereals, grains and vege protein are junk. And unspecified "animal protein" could be anything from hooves and hair to prime steak but I'm guessing it isn't steak.

organic not really interested.. if someone could import or produce something like Wysongs ranges I would be happy and it would be different compared to what is already in the market here-

I would love it if an Australian company made something like this American high-end dehydrated human-grade food:

http://www.thehonestkitchen.com/

But I'd be happy if you could make it without sourcing organic products and kept the price reasonable.

Have a look at Ziwipeak dehydrated from NZ. It's available in australia.

btw: I'm getting very very wary of imported anything for pets. example here

Might be best to read the whole article...

Independent plants

obtain animal by-product materials, including grease, blood, feathers, offal, and entire animal

carcasses, from the following sources: butcher shops, supermarkets, restaurants, fast-food chains,

poultry processors, slaughterhouses, farms, ranches, feedlots, and animal shelters.

The two types of animal rendering processes are edible and inedible rendering. Edible

rendering plants process fatty animal tissue into edible fats and proteins. The plants are normally

operated in conjunction with meat packing plants under U. S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety

and Inspection Services (USDA/FSIS) inspection and processing standards. Inedible rendering plants

are operated by independent renderers or are part of integrated rendering operations. These plants

produce inedible tallow and grease, which are used in livestock and poultry feed, soap, and production

of fatty-acids.

I did, hence the imported pet products comment.

I'd recommend kangaroo meat for an affordable organic meat for your dog. It's $4 p/kilo around these parts.

Am however having trouble tracking down affordable organ meats to supplement their diet. Which is a shame - I don't want to put the trash cattle are raised on into my body, or my pets'.

Biopet is sold in supermarkets. Coles I think. I don't like that they don't say what animal protein it is and would prefer the meat to be the first ingredient.
