UPDATE: 9 April 2026 Attached My Visual Case Analysis - The Ongoing Battle and further images. ​UPDATE: 2 APRIL 2026 Ellie's Skin is begining to… Read more

show signs of improvements with surgery booked for further investigations next month.

UPDATE: 28 FEBRUARY 2026

Its the first goodlooking stool in over a year and my releif at this point is beyond words (Image attached): For the first time in over 12 months, Ellie’s faeces are normal. No blood. No runny mess. No pain. Since stopping Ivory Coat just days ago, the "mystery" illness that haunted us for over a year has vanished. I feel like a "bad mum" for trusting this brand for 10 years, but the truth is, the food was the primary cause of her harm.

​THE COST OF TRUST: Since January 2025, I have endured: ​• An exhorberant anount in vet bills for specialists and endless testing. ​• A year of chronic vomiting, bloody stools, and incontinence. • Antibiotics for her swollen Anus that was excreting pus ​• Up to 4 baths a day to keep her clean and comfortable whereby I needed to make 100% cotton diapers. ​

THE COMPANY’S RESPONSE: Ivory Coat replied with a generic template. They offered a "veterinary nurse" chat, but a DM cannot fix a year of trauma or the fact that their "recipe adjustments" are making pets deathly ill.

​WARNING: Ivory Coat is NOT the high-quality brand it was a decade ago. Since The Real Pet Food Co. took over and moved production to Dubbo, the quality has declined significantly. Don't wait a year as I did—if your pet is sick, change the food. It saved my girl’s life.

WARNING: Life - Threatening Health Issues – Undisclosed Ingredient Changes ​ Please be warned: Ivory Coat is no longer the high-quality product it was 10 years ago. Following the brand’s acquisition by The Real Pet Food Co and their 2022 move to a new manufacturing facility in Dubbo, the recipes were significantly altered.

While the company admits to "recipe adjustments," many pet parents believe that unhealthy, toxic ingredients are being used that are not properly disclosed on the packaging. ​I do not understand how retailers in Australia continue to stock these products without notifying customers of the documented risks.

The health implications for your beloved pooch or cat can be life-threatening. You can view the extensive history of these issues via the Australian Pet Owners Group (APOG) issue log: https://www.apog.com.au/recall-issue-log/ivory-coat/.

​My personal experience has been devastating. Since the change of ownership, Ellie, my toy poodle has been suffering from: Severe fevers, Inconsistent vomiting, Chronic diarrhoea and blood in stools alongside five months of Incontinence, rashes, allergies and more. ​ My pooch has been in so much discomfort, in and out of hospitals, requiring numerous specialists, endless tests, and up to four baths per day and all since the beginning of January 2025. Until this post I could not pinpoint what was occurring nor could our team of Drs, who've all undergone their utmost to have Ellie as comfortable as we could in her time of need, the bills reign in.

It is heartbreaking that a company is allowed to operate in such a way here in Australia all the while pets suffer. If Australia had a governing body, to regulate pet food we Aussies would not need to see our pets suffer.

Please note: Without a governing body here in Australia to regulate our beloved pets food, who can we trust, who has our pets best interests at heart and why isn't the government implementing change when it's companies such as this one whom will standadise responses given they are not the ones forking out the dollars to save my best friend and nor do I feel they care, if they did they'd start implementing change like many other start up dog food companies are, now they care so please do your own research for peace of mind and clarity. My experience is unfortunately backed by hundreds of similar reports on consumer sites—do not risk your pet’s life on this once-trusted brand.

My senior Maltese dog scratches at the pantry every morning for his two Vitapet chicken or duck sticks, which he absolutely loves. Try to buy the economy pack when on special because I find they are a bit expensive. Show details

Hmmm this is an odd review. I bought 2 tins of this, from the Opportunity Shop (community recycling shop) and because of the labelling, I thought it… Read more

was Human Meat and Veggies - meal in a tin...

I got the tins home, and ever famished, I opened one, started to eat it and thought - "This is rather bland - it's far off the human food scale" - so I read the FINE PRINT and in all the tiny words and symbols...

And it's DOG FOOD.

a) Their labels try to be everything to everyone, so they are cramming in lots of "we are the worlds best" in lots and lots of fine print details and with fine detail images.

They are ppealing to human eaters, of human foods = good, by showing meats and vegetables, instead of:

i) Using a simple primary label:

"Farmers Market" "Dog Food"

ii) And a BIG IMAGE of a DOG.

Sure it's not that bad if you come across it in the pet food section of the supermarket...

But what if your buying it or grabbing a can from a dimly lit shop or pantry?

And you don't have your READING GLASSES ON...

"That looks like HUMAN FOOD to me!"

Well anyway - chop sticks in hand, I started to eat it, thought, "My god - this is SO bland - unlike plain meals I cook with just meat and veges, that taste great..."

So I spat it out, back into the can and REAL the FINE PRINT.

Then I gave it to the cats... and they really liked it and ate as much as they could...

So yeah - Farmers Markets - you seriously need to redesign your labelling.

Our very fussy Red Heeler absolutely loves these meals. It doesn’t smell bad and she looks for more. So glad we tried it. Thank you. Show details

I have purchased a few of these packs and the treats are full of small sharp particles. I think they are bone fragments which can be VERY DANGEROUS. I would not buy these ever again! Show details

allergy to chicken which I found is in most dry foods. Even the lamb ones usually have some chicken products. I was sceptical about trying this dry food if it would be any different. But I can say without a doubt this food by Billie & Margot is a game changer for dogs with allergies. My girl absolutely loves the single protein salmon dry food and she has completely stopped scratching. I won’t be buying anything else from now on just hope it doesn’t stop getting made.

before. I love the fact that it is good for gut and bone health and since switching her over there have been no loose poos. Being able to support an Australian company is an added bonus.

My dog has been on this for years and has been great! Fantastic value for money for the quality of food you get. I was surprised that I could buy this at my local Woolworths & Coles stores. Show details

Great food, my Wolfie loves it – My wolfie pup is a hungry growing girl and once we switched to eukanunba puppy she is eating less and growing at a great rate. She loves the taste.

Helped my dog a lot – My dogs stomach has settled a lot and seems to have improved digestion. Expensive but seems to be working. Have used it for a few weeks now. Hopefully it works long term  Show details

Found the store easy to find what I wanted and staff very friendly Show details

Amazing for our dog! Since switching, we’ve noticed a big improvement in his overall health and his coat is firmer, shinier, and he’s full of energy. He loves the taste too!

gabapentin and galliprant). She was declining to the point I had started quality of life mapping. The powder, specifically from clear dog treats, was recommended and I’m so glad I gave it a go. The results within 2 days were astounding enough but I’ve held off reviewing for 20 days. The change in her ability and alertness and in stiffness/limping is incredibly positive and has stayed positive for the 20 days. I was worried it might have been her last hurrah after the initial 2 day response-but I believe we have found a great product to make her more comfortable in her senior years. I think the quality of the glmp is key-the product from this company has previously had great reviews and in March 2026 it deserves that great reputation.

Optimum Puppy All Breeds with Chicken- DO NOT BUY- Reintroduced this food to a healthy Staffy. He was feed this product a number of weeks ago and was… Read more

extremely ill. He was vomiting blood and had blood in his stools. He also had red rashes on his body and around his eyes. The vet assessed him, and we were advised that his blood results indicated that he may have been exposed to a toxic matter. He was treated with medication over a number of days. We thought we were going to lose him. We put him on a raw clean diet- no issue. I introduced both him and our little spoodle to a half a cup of this product yesterday morning. Late in the evening, the staffy became violently ill, vomiting shaking with terrible gas. He was hunched over, licking his lips constantly. Running around in panic in the backyard, trying to eat grass. After his final vomit he was on the couch moaning in pain. Called Mars this morning and reported the issue. I reported the batch number. To my suprise, I was advised that Mars does not follow reviews of these products on social media. They only respond to those who contact the company. My little spoodle was also vomiting through the night with terrible gas. Please reconsider purchasing this product.

Took back to pet shop I bought it from and the lady was very defensive and told me I couldn't be refunded (I hadn't asked at that point). She told me to write my name and number in a little pocket notebook. I also wrote what problem was. Please be careful with the MFM food. There's obviously still issues in the production process.

Spaniel. Supercoat with Chicken is marketed like it’s real food, but what’s inside the bag is barely a step above factory floor waste. Don’t be fooled by the “real chicken” claim — what they’re actually using is chicken by-products: a slurry of ground-up necks, feet, skin, bones, and sometimes worse. It’s the stuff left behind after the good meat goes to humans.

Australia’s pet food industry has no mandatory regulation, which means companies like Purina can legally mislead you with vague marketing buzzwords like “natural,” “complete,” and “with real meat.” They don’t have to tell you what parts of the chicken are used, where it comes from, or even how much is actually in the food. And they certainly don’t advertise the cheap fillers like corn, wheat, beet pulp, and soy, which make up the bulk of the kibble. It’s basically flavoured cardboard sprayed with "chicken digest" — a disgusting broth made by enzymatically breaking down dead animal parts into a sticky flavour coating.

My dog had explosive diarrhoea, bloating, and discomfort the entire time he was on this junk. The feeding amount they recommend (up to 340g a day for a medium dog) is outrageous. Why? Because the food is so nutritionally empty, your dog has to eat twice as much to get the same nutrients — and then craps out half of it undigested.

Since switching to a real food brand that uses actual meat (no corn, no garbage), my dog’s stomach issues vanished. His energy returned, his coat is glossy again, and his stools are small, solid, and healthy — the way it should be.

Supercoat is cheap for a reason — it’s built on the backs of deceptive marketing, trash ingredients, and zero accountability. It is the definition of a low-quality, industrial waste product dressed up to look nutritious.

If you care about your dog, don’t f all for it. Dig past the branding and read what’s really in the bag. It’s horrifying.
