I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Bianca at Savourlife in regards to getting some information about the air dried food. Our dog Pablo has… Read more

been enjoying Savourlife food , biscuits, and treats for many years and he absolutely thrives on his Savourlife. He is an extremely healthy 12 year old chihuahua and he absolutely eats his Savourlife with relish, never leaving anything to waste. Bianca is an outstanding asset to the Savourlife company and i must say she has been the most helpful and patient customer service representative in have ever spoken to. Nothing was too hard for Bianca to help the customer with, and those qualities are so rare these days. So besides Pablo loving their food and it being top quality, Bianca's customer service being the best, their company also delivers much needed help to rescue dogs which is vital. We will never shop any other brands, ONLY SAVOURLIFE. Savourlife covers all your dog's needs for food and treats, and I can rest assured that Pablo is getting the very best. Thank you so much Bianca for your absolutely outstanding customer service

My two fussy cats love these treats sprinkled over some good quality biscuits. What a fabulous healthy addition to their diet.

We have an older cat who since she turned about 12 seems to be always hungry and yet not gaining weight. Yes, she is under vet care and we've cycled… Read more

through a range of recommended cat food but nothing really made a difference. I bought this Steak Mince on impulse without thinking much about it and to my surprise it has made a more or less immediate difference in our cat's wellbeing.

She's more content, not hungry straight after a meal and seems to have a shinier coat. I have not actually weighed her yet but she looks plumper. You'd expect this if she'd had a bad diet but she's been on premium cat food, supplements from the vet, the lot...I think there must be unique nutrient that was the missing link. The only problem I have with this food is that I personally find it quite unpleasant to dish out as I don't eat meat!

I would love to know more about this because when I search for info online, a lot of it is scary - eg: that it could harbour bacteria etc etc. I'll know more when I get our cat's next bloodwork and weigh her.

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

We have swapped to this wet food and have noticed a huge difference in his coat and skin condition. He is also a huge pest well before feeding time now plus its ALL gone at the end! 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!

Both my girls, 6 and 8yo, dont like these due to the biscuit itself being so hard to bite through. We usually steer towards Purina One Senior… Read more

Biscuits or the Optimum Fur Ball Biscuits, both are thinner and less effort to break through. Personal opinion, the bsicuits dont seem to have any negative impact on the girls.

My dog loves this! – My dog really enjoyed this dog food. My dog tried both the beef and chicken. I really loved that this food doesn't have any artificial colours,… Read more

Game changing dry food for dogs with allergies – I have tried several different types of dry food for my Jug who is constantly scratching and biting herself. I finally put it down to a suspected… Read more

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.

less meat. I will never buy it again. Look at them sponsoring a V8 Supercar and yet they deceive their customers like this.

I have been feeding my dogs the sensitive skin range for a few years now as my dog has allergies to chicken, the last few months her skin issues have… Read more

flared right up again! Nothing in our home or yard has changed and I’ve done an elimination process to see what could be causing her skin issues and it seems to be the sensitive skin food! Have ingredients changed recently? The consistency has definitely changed as has the smell

My dogs have been raised on this until the recently, when the recipe changed, my dog has had a major reaction, and today was put on steroids to calm… Read more

his skin, yes we know its the mince after illumination diet, and also it was making my cat vomit, such a shame as it was so cost affect and something we could feed them both.

I am so happy with the salmon and sardine dry food. I have a Bernese Mountain dog and she absolutely loves it in preference to what she was on… Read more

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.

Would recommend – My 19 year old cat died earlier this year. She was healthy, active and happy right up to the day she died, the vet said she'd had a stroke and could… Read more

no longer move. Thing is .. she had never in her life had dental cleaning or surgery. Each time she went for her vaccinations and checkup they looked at her teeth and gums and said they were amazingly clean and healthy. She was fed daily (along with a choice wet food) on Hills Dental dry food for cats, and loved it. My other two cats have the same diet, one with healthy teeth and gums, and one with a little tartar which we're keeping an eye on. I mix them with the hairball variety .

Long story short.. my girl has had digestive issues since she was born (she is now 6) I was told to consider her quality of life and told to make a… Read more

horrible choice, but we persevered in search of grain free diets and after years on Hill's Prescription Diet D/D (it was discontinued last year) I found this amazing bag! She's tried everything and had a horrible start to life, after the discontinuation of Hill's I feared the worst, but she has happily eaten this food every day, twice a day with 0 problems! (No wet food) She also has an allergy to chicken and 0 teeth, so the size of kibble is perfect! All my other cats love it and some of them are fussy AF! Please don't ever discontinue!! :'(

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

No smelly poo – My kittens love this it’s convenient as it is available at supermarkets pretty good quality for supermarkets band it would be more beneficial if I could buy in bulk it only comes in one size and when you have several kittens it does go far enough 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.

Excellent biscuits - even thought they are alot larger than my cats normal small biscuits - she always eats these first. She absolutely loves these… Read more

biscuits. These are now her main biscuits she eats plus her wet meat. Hopefully they are helping her teeth as she previously had a build up of plaque on them.
