Bit worried about the NZ GREEN. Here that is also known as hooch. Maybe it was meant to be NZ greenlipped muscle which is good stuff

I have an idea it is made in Sweden. It has nothing to do with Australia.

Hi Sarah
I assume you will be running your dogs in IRL / UK why not support red mill and gain who put a lot of money back into our sport.!!

Carole I was just making the point that people should support those who actively put money back into our sport in this country. If I was to hazard a guess at how much red mills sponsers per year I would say not far off 100k running stakes the length and breath of the country. Gain also sponser a number of top stakes. correct me if I'm wrong Australian formula has been around a good while in Ireland how much sponsorship have the put back into Irish racing.???

Michael, I agree with you on your first point, but have no idea about Aust. formula sponsorship, as it is an overseas brand and nothing to do with Australia.

I was trying to find some official information on label of Australian formula as I can see a lot of talking about this brand but it seems that nobody can point me to the official website. Try to find out the extended label and maker. I like to form my opinions on facts and corect info.... not urban stories and rumors or hearsay. Thank you.

Thank you. Folowed the link, no trace of a serious reference on Australian formula. Claims on label are false, figures don't ad up, price(poultry price), composition and above all main ingredients of very poor quality. Maize, wheat, gluten, rice some more wheat etc. Poultry fethers and bicks or nails, claws, hair are all protein.... but not the type a carnivore could use ;) same crap food as Gain, Redmills etc. How can anybody claim that a 15 eur/15 kg bag of food is good food?

Hate to rain on the party but NO kibble is good food for a dog. Said it a thousand times and it's the biggest con since Adam gave Eve an apple...it wasn't an apple! It was a bag of science formulated kibble...she fell pregnant, had twins, then had UT infections, Kidney infections, Bowel cancer, Immune Diseases, then died prematurely! Adam never ate the kibble...be like Adam, Adam was a smart man who lived to 120yo.
If you can send all your money to my swiss bank account I will gladly forward to you some rotten by-products soaked in rancid oil. All you have to do is put the microwave on high for a day or two and you have yummy kibble.

I only use a small amount of kibble. 75lb sapling gets one cup morning 2 cups evening, about 300g total then 650g good beef. Dont think many if any count on a kibble for a complete diet. Have had no problems with redmills. Plus they do alot for our sport, put the money back in.
