Makes sense when you realize that they were originally designed for working dogs, specficially sheep and cattle dogs who burn a lot of carbs running around.

Tux buscuits look like meat flavoured cardboard. Both my dogs will not eat them.

People are fooled by the SPCA stamp of approval in NZ.

In reply to Pip Graham. Hi Pip, I believe it's one of the highest carbohydrate dog foods you can buy unfortunately. It's mostly cereals, and worse cereal by-products. Dogs depend on quality protein (from meat), and quality fat (from animal fat), and Purina TUX is low in both protein and fat. I estimate carbs around 57% for the chicken formula, possibly more for others.

In reply to Aaron. I'm not surprised in the slightest.

Do Tux biscuits contain carbohydrates?

In reply to Aaron. Could you possibly sneak some better food into her diet? you start super slow at like 1 kibble for a long while and than up to two. I mean if you make convo with these guys you could ask how she’s going and if no upsets continue building it up. I’ve given a few dogs some better treats and foods in the past, however we don’t get out much so it’s not like we have access to these guys dogs always. Which is a shame as I’d totally feed them some better stuff if I did. Usually we see them once and than the next time is like months or years later, they prefer phone calls.

we know a dog who is fed tux. her coat is splotchy, she’s constantly itchy, stinks of fish, and breath ranks of something fierce. please don’t feed your dog this rubbish. list of ingredients are a giveaway with so many byproducts and/or. what a shame.

Had bought 2 lots of dog biscuits/Kibble (an attempt to vary food a bit)…purchased 20kg Digger Beef & Vegetables Dry and 20kg TUX Adult Original Meaty Dry Dog Food (large triangular biscuits).
My Mastiffs gets cups of Digger (kibble) in the morning….and then Tux product in evening, with dog rolls.

OMG…I think the Tux biscuits gave my dogs the worst gas of Canine nuclear fart bombs…great silent ones!
Decided to get rid of TUX….the dogs turns their noses up at it…they simply dont like it.

I guess that “understanding” the requirements of a dog and claiming to have actually implemented them are two different things, something that probably didn’t escape the attention of whomever approved the marketing copy. Lookout Baxters, you have some competition in the race to the bottom.

Time to expand the Pet Food Judge empire into NZ?
