This is what a really well-rounded bowl can look like. πŸ™Œ

There's a lot going on in this one, and every single inclusion is there for a reason. Let's break it down.

Animal protein forms the foundation, as it always should. Raw meat is bioavailable, species-appropriate and exactly what a dog's body is designed to thrive on.

Organ and offal sits at the centre of the bowl, and it's one of the most nutrient-dense additions you can make. Organ meat provides a completely different nutritional profile to muscle meat and is well worth including regularly.

Quail eggs are a wonderful source of additional animal-based nutrition and a great way to add variety without overcomplicating things.

Fish component introduces another animal protein source with a different fatty acid profile, which is exactly why rotating through different inclusions matters so much.

Plant matter including snow peas, carrot, mushroom, capsicum and apple brings natural fibre, antioxidants and a range of textures that contribute to a diverse, balanced diet.

Herbs and botanicals add another layer of support. A thoughtfully chosen herbal addition can be a genuinely valuable part of a fresh feeding approach.

Oils and supplements round out the bowl, supporting everything from skin and coat health to overall cellular function, depending on what's been chosen.

Every ingredient in this bowl is doing something. That's the goal. πŸ’š

What does your dog's bowl look like? We'd love to see it in the comments. πŸ‘‡

Meet Fergus, an eight-year-old, Golden Retriever, truly living his best life. 🐾

A typical day for Fergus involves a solid sleep in, a very serious ball chasing session, his favourite part of the day (a walk with Mum), a few well-earned treats, dinner, and then straight back to bed where he belongs.

A big day of sniffs, exploring and catching up on sleep. Honestly, we could all learn something from this big guy. πŸ˜„

We want to see your dogs living their best lives too!
The beach runs, the muddy paws, the morning cuddles, the afternoon naps and the ridiculous things they get up to every single day. Post your own dog's day in the life, tag us in it, and show us what a big day really looks like in your house.

Our favourite video or series of photos before Nov 3 will win a toy or treat of their choice, on us. And don't worry, we'll be sure to share the winner's submission with you 🀩

Get filming. We can't wait to meet your dogs!

Bones are so much more than just a treat. Raw meaty bones can be a really valuable part of a fresh feeding diet, and not just because your dog loves chewing on them.

Depending on the individual dog and the type of bone, they can provide genuine nutritional value, support dental health, offer meaningful enrichment and add another whole food component to their diet.

But here's the part that really matters.

Not every bone is suitable for every dog, and this is something we feel strongly about. The size and hardness of the bone, your dog's age, breed, size and chewing style all need to be taken into consideration before you introduce them. Natural doesn't automatically mean appropriate, and a bone that's perfect for one dog could be completely wrong for another.

It's not something we think should be approached with a one-size-fits-all mentality.

If you're thinking about introducing bones into your dog's diet and you're not sure where to start, come in and have a chat with us. Tell us about your dog and we'll help you work out what might be a good fit. That's exactly what we're here for. πŸ’š

"I only feed my dog food I would eat myself." It sounds responsible. But biologically, it might be missing the point entirely ...

Dogs are not small humans, and their nutritional needs are not a reflection of our own.

Humans are omnivores. Dogs are facultative carnivores, biologically designed to thrive on raw, animal-based nutrition. Their digestive system, enzymatic activity and metabolic pathways are built around consuming animal tissue. And not just muscle meat.

In nature, a dog consuming prey doesn't leave much behind. Muscle, skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, organs, bone. Every part serves a purpose. Every part contributes something the body needs.

This is where the term "human grade" becomes worth questioning.

Human grade doesn't mean biologically appropriate for a dog. It simply means acceptable to a human. And in making meat more suitable for us, we often make it less complete for them. Connective tissue gets removed. Structural components get stripped back. The very things a dog's body is designed to use.

Biologically whole protein includes connective tissue, cartilage, fascia, elastin, naturally occurring fats and trace minerals in their natural form. These tissues are naturally rich in collagen, glycine, glucosamine complexes, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. The very compounds we later isolate and sell back as supplements.

Connective tissue is not waste. It is functional nutrition.

When dogs are fed biologically whole protein rather than stripped back, human-preferred cuts, the results speak for themselves. Stronger joints, improved gut integrity, healthier skin, better recovery and greater resilience. Not because something was added, but because something essential was never removed.

This philosophy shapes everything we do at The Pet Food Shop, from the way we source and produce our own range, to the brands we choose to stock. Species-appropriate nutrition isn't a trend for us. It's what we've believed in for over 80 years. πŸ’š

Some days are just … a lot. And our pets can feel it too.

Thunderstorms, fireworks, travelling, visitors, changes at home or even a particularly busy day can leave some animals feeling a little unsettled.

Calm The Farm by Essence of Devine is a Bach Flower Essence blend created for both people and animals, and designed to support a sense of calm and emotional balance during those bigger moments.

Because looking after our pets isn't only about what's in their bowl. Their emotional wellbeing matters too. πŸ’š

Have you tried Calm The Farm with your pet? We'd love to hear when you reach for it and how you've found it.

Available in store now at The Pet Food Shop.

Heads up, all of our stores will be closed this Friday for the Public Holiday!

Make sure you pop in early this week to stock up so your pets don't miss out on their favourites while we're away.

We hope you all have a wonderful long weekend, whether that looks like kicking the ball with your dog at the park or snuggling your cat on the couch. Honestly, both sound pretty perfect to us. πŸ˜„

Tell us in the comments, who do you think is taking home the flag this weekend? πŸ‘‡
