Hi Jamie, I’ve actually just written an article about grains in foods such as Pedigree. Might be a useful read – https://www.petfoodjudge.com/the-truth-about-grain-allergies-in-dogs/

In reply to Graham. Hi - I just looked for reviews of this brand because my dog has diarrhea and this is the only thing that changed in his diet.

Hi again David,

I think it’s fair to say cheap products are often far worse quality than expensive products as a general rule.

Real questions are whether a high end pet food is worth the premium price/markup you pay, such as compared to homemade/raw, once you weigh in convenience and whatnot. Or whether a cheap pet food made of inappropriate ingredients will be worth the savings if your pet starts showing signs of organ disease in middle age which can incur huge vets bills if you’re not insured.

Why are your product reviews great for expensive products, and bad for cheaper products? I swear you just make up these reviews based on the price, and you are probably compromised by receiving monetary kickbacks from pet food companies. High priced dog food get high rating, medium priced get medium ratings, and low prices get low ratings. Very suss.

I’ve owned & bred Bullmastiffs & Dogue de Bordeaux crosses for the last 25 years. Always fed them Pedigree meaty bites (70% of their diet) with zero ailments or health issues. All my own have grown into very big healthy dogs. Tried them on Blackhawk & Hills but they didn’t like it… & the cost of that stuff isn’t sustainable when you have 60-80kg dogs eating like horses.

In reply to Wendy. Hi Wendy, yes, unfortunately these pet food companies are very good at convincing you their product is good without actually telling you what's in it. Pedigree has been a household name for decades, and many people feed it to their dogs without realising what it's made from.

I am so, so sad to read these reviews. I got a 5 year old rescue dog 2 months ago, she was a mess emotionally & physically but is improving little by little with heaps of love, patience & understanding. I am a pensioner & with the economy the way it is at the moment have to watch my finances very closely, unlike I did with 4 previous rescue dogs some years ago & over many years. She had been on Optimum dry food at the rescue centre so naturally purchased that. A few weeks later both my supermarkets were out of large dog Optimum & only 1 bag of large dog Pedigree left so decided to buy. I read everything on the packet, sounded great, contained everything I wanted & was very impressed to read they have worked in partnership & provided food donations to Pet Rescue for 10 years. With the added home prepared topper food she loved it so half way through the 3 kilo bag I decided, economically it would be better to buy the 20 kilo bag. I don’t know why but last night I started to read the numerous web pages of Reviews about Pedigree dog food. I am devastated. How can their advertising be so misleading? I have now got 20 kilos of this garbage, can’t return because I opened to decant some into a pantry shelf size container, am too afraid to feed it to my dog & now have the added expense to replace it with something that is not going kill my baby. I am so thankful for Reviews such as these as it helps unsuspecting people like me learn the truth from genuine experiences. I truly wish I had read the reviews before I wasted my money however, knowledge is better than ignorance- so thank you for your reviews.

My dogs wont even eat the pedigree pal cans anymore. All 3 of them. That tells me there is something seriously wrong with the food.

Noticed in Coles a few weeks back a new variety of dry Pedigree called ”high protein” with coloured kibble peices.

Then tonight while cruising the pet aisle at woolworths, i noticed that all Pedigree dry food has been updated with new kibble peices that are coloured now, whereas the kibble in recent years has been not coloured. Shame as the one and only thing I thought was good about pedigree was the fact it didn’t have colours in the kibble.

Interested in an updated review about pedigree.

In reply to Smart US. My dog has been on Black Hawk for 12 months now his coat is so soft & he shines! Pet circle seem to be cheaper than others & no issues with delivery. I think Ivory Coat was purchased by a chinese company (not 100% about that)
