Shocking, we know! In Australia, there’s no real regulation controlling the quality of ingredients going into your pup’s food. That means more risk of pathogens in meat and free reign to add all kinds of meat meal (like blood, hooves and even stomach contents). |

Human-grade food is the best choice for your dog amongst a sea of unregulated processed dog food 
brands with a monopoly on the industry. |
Research shows animals digest human-grade real food diets more easily than kibble^ and that human-grade diets positively influence a dog’s microbiome and improve their poos.*
Without strict regulation in Australia, pet-grade pet food producers aren’t obligated to avoid using adulterated material. This means meat that may have been sourced from cattle that were diseased, dead, or dying. |

|
There are more standards for pet food elsewhere in the world. In 2019, the FDA 
in America withdrew its outdated policy guidelines that allowed meat from dead, diseased, dying, or down animals to be used in pet food but Australia hasn’t caught up with these standards. |
