In reply to Susan. Hi I am new to phone savvy but read your articles trying to find something healthy for my old Tenterfield Terrier. I just bought some Julius duck treats for her, she loves them, however she is coming sicker by the day. Reviews from RSPCA say don't give any Chinese treats to dogs as they cause liver disease as they have been irradiated as well. Kills cats, so dogs are now not so certain.full of pesticides and heavy metals.

I brought the Julius Chicken Eggs with carrots and peas for my purebred Staffy as his hasn’t been eating his raw mince. His sister from the same litter eats it and loves it, so did my dog. That same night I noticed he had a few raised bumps on his body straight after eating it we didn’t think much of it and went to bed with him as he sleeps with us. As we were watching tv my husband said is Floki’s eye swollen and it did look like it but he had also just gotten over a bout of conjunctivitis from the boarding kennel. 2.30am he woke me up to go outside and he had the runs, when he came inside he was covered in hives and his poor eyes looked like a Shar Pei dogs they were so swollen he was scratching like mad. I have a stepdaughter who is a Vet nurse and she advised to give him a antihistamine which I did and it cleared up after a day.

I’ve always fed him grain free after having a Pug who had skin issues, so perhaps it was that his on Applaws kibble as are my cats, but it was really scary on how suddenly it happened.

In reply to Emma Weyers. Premier pet food makes Aldi dog food.Cameron Sell a corrupt animal nutritionist. He puts like 2kg animal feather meal in 2 ton batches.99% old wheat.All products have beef tallow despite chicken flavour on packaging. Don't trust the ingredients.

In reply to Pet Food Judge. Went to my Vet recently who said that dog biscuits/kibble are rubbish. My Collie & my Cavoodle(diabetic) eat roast chook,raw chook necks for their teeth & a chook & vegie loaf from the corner pet food shop which my Vet recommended.He also said the best chews for teeth are the green ones.

bought a 1kg pack Julius Gold Meaty bites (Lamb) from Aldi, but when weighed it was only 750g. What a rip-off!!!

In reply to Martin Bishop.

Julius is CHEAP didnt you wonder WHY??
Take kibble back to Aldis or throw it in bin.
Always leave your dry dog food-Kibble in a cool dry place away from heat & light in a sealed container.
As soon as you open a new fresh bag of Kibble the air/oxygen slowly starts to make the oils go rancid so keep kibble in air tight kibble bag it came in + air tight container in a cool place,no hot places.

What I cant understand WHY would you let you poor dog STARVE for 3 days?? would you do this to your child??
When a dog/cat refuses pet food something is probably wrong if the dog normally eats everything except the pet food.

Dogs eat Cat poos for a few reasons, 1 Cat poo is high in protein dogs smell the meat also cat poo is high in salt, iCAt poo is a treat for a dog, start her on dog Probiotics, pick up cat poo.

Feed your dog 2-3 meals a day, so she’s content & wont be hungry to eat cat poo.

Bought the 8kg Julius Chicken flavour dry food. My 6 y/o Lab/staffy Xdog eats almost anything. She eats Cat poo but she won’t eat this Julius stuff. Went on a 3 day hunger strike before i got something better. Seriously if your Dog food product loses out to Cat poo, you should really re-think your purpose in life. Now what do i do with 8kg of this stuff? It’s been out in the yard for a week now, stray animals won’t touch it, birds won’t eat it, even the ants won’t touch it. Would it be any good as a fertiliser?

In reply to Frank. I tried the Julius Gold Meaty Bites. The stink would put anyone be it human or animal off food.

Bought some Julius Gold semi wet meaty bites. My dog won’t touch them. I smelt them. It’s clear to see why. They smell disgusting. Somewhat Smokey, somewhat chemical smells. Never again.

Hi Emma, I realise this is a really old comment but around that time I wrote a review of Natural Elements as the “better” offering from ALDI – https://www.petfoodjudge.com/aldi-natural-elements-dog-food-review/
