PRIME100 Pet Food Review

[Jhunt]

Hi Folks,

 

Did any one tried Prime100 pet food, especially the "Chicken and Veg" roll - pic attached?

 

I have a 4.5 months old GSD pup who is currently in Big Dog BARF Chicken diet.

 

I had to opt her to BARF as her poops were sloppy whenever fed on Kibble, whichever brand may it be. 

 

Feeding her only on Big Dog is becoming a costly affair as with the raw diets since they are priced high over kibble.

 

The same quantity of Prime100 Chicken and Veg costs lower than half of what I pay for Big Dog.

 

So, can really appreciate if you any one has used the product and advice whether I can feed my pup on that.

 

Thanks,

 

JHunt.

I've never tried Prime100 but I do feed my dog Big Dog Patties. I'm not sure how big your dog is or how much they need, but I only feed my senior staffy cross (between 23kg and 24kg) 1 patty per day. I spread a box of 12 patties out over a fortnight by feeding half of one for breakfast and half of one plus a tin of sardines or an egg (I alternate between them) with a spoon of plain yoghurt. He also gets a meaty bone like a lamb or Turkey neck instead of the half patty/sardine/egg/yoghurt combo some nights, which pushes the 12 patties out to 14 days and is good for his teeth. If you buy at Petstock and are a member (free to join), you get approx $4 credit per box to use on your next Big Dog purchase, which brings the cost of the boxes down to between about $21 and $24 each, depending on which one you buy (we get the sensitive skin which is $28 before the credit is applied). 

 

All of that being said, if you have a bigger dog or need to feed a lot more because your dog is growing, then what I shared might be no help at all to you.

I can’t find that one on their website. You’d have to call them to check whether it is suitable for a large breed puppy (“all life stages”).

Love it, but I'd call them for sure. The table doesn't mention large breed puppies.

Sorry, I completely missed that you said it was a GSD puppy. Clearly I hadn't had enough coffee when I replied earlier...

I feed the Prime SPD rolls. https://prime100.com.au/product_categories/single-protein-diet/

 

Give them a call to see what they recommend. I've found them to be very helpful in the past.

Have you considered making your own raw food mix? I've found buying human-quality meat and veges can be cheaper than pre-made dog food. Whole free-range chickens cost $8/kg at Coles, which I think is about the same price as Big Dog chicken patties per kg. Chicken peices like necks and legs can be $4/kg.

 

There are lots of resources online that have suggestions for a homemade BARF diet.

I read this book many years ago but I think you could get the same sort of information/advice for free online.
