Cat Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 There is a new site with ingredient details. http://www.blackhawkpetcare.com.au/grain-free-dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seregil Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well how disappointing!! . Finally got to read the ingredients for the new grain-free range only to find they ALL contain bloody chicken. One of my dogs has a chicken sensitivity and I was hoping the new beef and lamb varieties might have been an option. I was also hoping I could use the tinned stuff to mix in with his Royal Canin Sensitivity as I have trouble getting him to eat it. ......easy to tell that chicken is a cheap ingredient.

Agrred, I am very dissappointed it isn't a single protein source food. And also agree they should call it what it is, not beef oh and we added chicken. I also want chicken free.

seregil Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 That's our problem. My boy is doing really well on Earth Born Coastal Catch. It's fish based and grain free, they also have a lamb version LisaCC I have tried Earth Born's lamb variety. Started off just adding about a tablespoon to his current diet....got to day 4 then explosive poo's . Haven't been game enough to try their fish one, its too expensive to waste if it does not work for him and last time it took me several weeks to get his poo's back to reasonably OK. I have also tried him on BH fish and potato and while he did not get the runs per se, his poo's were still just barely formed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 BH are not alone with this. I just had a look on the back of two tins of VIP Natures Goodness. The Grainfree Chicken & Duck includes beef & the GrainFree Kangaroo contains chicken & beef Why do they do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Seregil, You could ask for a sample? Also most petshops will refund or replace super premium food even if it's half eaten . We went through a lot to find the right one! Nova went ok on the Lamb, but he went off the taste. I was happy with this condition on the Holistic Select grain free too (Fish again), but again he went off it and would refuse to eat for days. We got the poop explosions and vomits with chicken!

seregil Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 LisaCC just getting a sample of a food for my boy is not always enough to know if it will suit him. Sometimes when I try a new food it can take up to a week or so of gradually mixing the new food in before I start to get problems. His reaction to the Earthborn Lamb was faster than usual. I did actually take the rest of the bag back to Petstock as I had used so little (and it was nearly $50 for the small bag ). They did refund me but were rather reluctant as it was not a 'palatability' issue so I doubt they will let me try something else then expect a return..... It was a shame as I rather liked how Earthborn's ingredients list read. I have looked at Holistic Select too and may try that one day. Personally I would rather buy Aussie made, like Blackhawk. Tried Advance, that was disastrous and it also did not suit my other dog who can normally eat anything . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Have you tried the Nutro Lamb & Rice tins? No chicken. Does have rice & oatmeal. Made in Australia. Wellness have a heap of tinned food too. One of them might suit. Not made here obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivory & Beau Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 My Petstock finally has the grain free range in both cat and dog. Plus the tins. I didn't know BH now do a seafood dry cat? So I grabbed a fish for the cats, as I'm broke this week and that was cheaper. I did grab a bag of grain free to test out on the dogs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-o Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yep, they brought out the Seafood recipe for cats a few weeks ago. I imagine they'll expand their grain free range for dogs and cats in due course, it's a bit limited as just chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 For anyone that's interested, Earthborn now have a large breed grain free food available. It does have chicken though... I'm keen to give it a try when we finish our current bag of food. I think there is also a new Earthborn weight management variety too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canisbellum Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I bought a 20kg bag of the Fish and Potato variety. $104 I think. The list of ingredients looks pretty good, busy mixing it in the last of the chicken and rice I have been feeding and no problems Sent from my Galaxy S5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagittarian Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Have a few customers using this, but keep in mind it isn't grainfree for those who want to feed without grains.

Canisbellum Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Neither is the chicken and rice as I have discovered but it's low enough that my Shar Pei doesn't have yeast infections Sent from my Galaxy S5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitaki Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Have been feeding my maltese / poodle on Artemis Holistic (Osopure , Maximal)for yonks; (mornngs he get dry, evening he gets homemade raw Kanga / green smoothie n carbs, either chickpea, sweet potato or pumkin)..pleased to an Australian brand that looks comparable at a lower cost :D Bought the Fish & Potato and mixed it with the Osopure this morning... he gobbled it up unusually quick... hoping that it was the inclusion of the BH.. fingers crossed Edited October 19, 2014 by Waitaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
