Advance Premium Dry Dog Food

Good food! – We were recommended to feed our puppy this from the breeder. He likes it and even eats if a bit to fast. It is very good except that we have to go to a pet stuff only store. Quite expensive but good dog food. I recommend this for your dog, our puppy was a bit skinny and is now a perfect weight. Show details

Huge health and coat improvement since switching – My girl was having issues with another brand and we switched to advance about 4 months ago. I am impressed with the massive improvement to her coat and health. She poos less and eats less. She is healthy than before. The old food gave her the runs and horrible gas. No issues and all her puppies that have switched to advance have show good results. She’s a border collie.  Show details

Have never had a problem with Advance Pupp – I have been a Griffon Bruxellois breeder for 25 years and in that time have never had a better dog food. I tested my dogs on many of the so called top brands and had problems with most, then started using Advance Puppy with good success and now for over 10 years I feed all age dogs with the Advance Puppy dry food and dont have any adverse health or other issues with any of my dogs. Show details

Chemical based dry food – Purchased this Advance dry food in the puppy formula for our 9mth old 'oodle' , oh she loved the taste but started getting hyper with a different personality than normal within 2 days & a horrible stench coming from her coat & poops. 1st time ever as a pup she ate the poops from the Advance food. I think this food should be renamed Advance… Read more

Copraphagia'. Obviously there is a taste attractant in this food that stays in the dogs poops & doesnt digest properly, hence wanting to re eat it. We took it back to the pet store after a week & they allowed us to swap it for a natural based holistic style dry food. Our pup came good after 2 days she was back to her normal self & the horrible odour had gone. Do yourself a favour & buy a natural based holistic dry food for your best friend, they will then reward you with their true breed personality & will stay healthy saving on vet bills.

blood in stools and diarrhea – this food caused our poor little Groodle a very upset stomach , started with diarrhoea then started pooing blood, so we took him to the vet and came off these biscuits. he is luckily okay now. Show details

Caused diarrhea – Caused severe diarrhea and vomiting in my 8 week old Beagle. Symptoms went away within 1 day of changing diet, but came back as soon as we tried to slowly add it back. Would never buy again! 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!

Another I can rotate with – My girl has issues with pulses any and all, were talking rock hard tummy, lots of gas and she screams in pain a lot. So can’t feed grain free at all, in fact some of our grained foods have pulses which really sucks! You see a food that’s marketed as grains, than in the ingredients peas ahaha. Not helpful. I’ve been stuck feeding her RC together… Read more ·  2

with her main air dried meals and nothing else because everything I’ve wanted to try was either full of wheat and she reacts to that as well or has barley another reactor or full of pulses and there’s like virtually no choice here in Australia for her. Overseas there is plenty of choices, I wish we had more choices.

There is an insect food coming out without pulses, but who knows when that’ll get here and also she’s never liked any insect foods I’ve gotten in the past, like before I realised it was the pulses causing her issues. So probably won’t be added to the rotation.

Anyways because I got obsessed with that topic and couldn’t stop talking about it lol. The Advance she seems to love, does much better on it than the RC actually, her stomach upsets are like zero lately when she eats it. RC started out good, but than progressively got worse for her, no idea why either. Like I’d feed it to her when her stomach was upset and suddenly it didn’t work anymore and up until than it had worked. So I needed to find a new food and also she was getting bored of both the RC’s.

I’m nearly through the 800g bag and yeah will definitely buy the same size again because of how little of it is actually eaten, because as I said air dried is her main.

If at any point she starts not liking it or does poorly and I remember, I’ll come back and below my review I’ll add a note.

Dry food – This product was great, my dogs are hard to please when it comes to dry food so when they had not issues eating the salmon I was surprised. Great product will buy again Show details

Took my money but didn't send anything – My account was debited and then I never heard anything from them, After two and a half weeks after emails and messenger they finally got back to me saying they didn't have the stock and this was a courtey email after ringing me the week before. This was a complete lie. I never received a phone call, messages or anything else untill I started to chase them. Outright theft Show details

Caused diarrhoea – Our puppy would slowly graze on his food all day, he ended up having sever diarrhoea and vomiting. We moved to chicken and rice diet and upon re-introducing advance in small amounts, diarrhoea returned instantly. Unfortunately seems to really irritate our pups system unlike other dry foods Show details

Terrible, dogs refuse to eat any of it! – Dogs HATED this food and refuse to eat, even though I have tried offering nothing else, to see if they will get hungry and eventually eat it, NOPE they would rather starve apparently! Going back to dog foods that have a guarantee or money back Show details

Makes everyone want to vom – Used to buy this for the dogs. They liked it. New formulation - they hate it and will only eat it a bit when they are starving. Worse than that, the smell to humans is disgusting. Won't be buying it again. Show details

If I could i would leave 0 stars – First time I bought this for something different for my pets. But I won't be buying it ever again, I will stick to a raw all natural diet as that seems to be a lot better for them as this gave them diarrhoea even though I only gave them a little bit to try it out. Show details

Very expensive and caused a very upset tummy, Do not recommend – For $128 a bag as recommended by pet shop I thought I was buying the very best for my new fur baby however it causes a very upset tummy. Vet has put it down to this food and has said it has happened a number of times to other pups. We got his tummy right then slowly introduced these biscuits back in at 1/3 of his feed, it’s only took one day for his diarrhoea to return. Will throw out the rest of this very expensive bag Show details

Advance dry puppy food – My puppy refused to eat Supercoat and is now loving Advance. He has been healthy and happy on this dry food and his coat is very shiny. His stools are regular and if normal consistency. Show details

Gave my dogs stinky diarrhea – Whilst my dogs liked eating the terrier kibble, it did bad things in their tummy I put the dogs on a different kibble & they were fine, 1 week later we tried the Advance Terrier & again diarrhea with all the dogs So we won't buy anymore Advance foods Show details

Our baby is healthier eating these – Our GSD liked these, she's usually quite fussy, and she was less itchy than before we switched to this particular type of biscuit (we almost exclusively feed Advance though). She has mild dysplasia and it's always been well managed by this diet. I would just like to see less carbohydrates in the formula, I don't want to go grain free, I just want the meat content to be high. Show details

Did not suit my dog - hair dropped horribly – Although my dog seemed to like the taste, his hair dropped so bad that I was worried he would go bald at this rate. While on proplan his coat was shiny and hardly shed, within a week of shifting to Advance I noticed excessive hair fall. Pet. Circle was very supportive and gave a full refund so I shifted him back to proplan and within a week the hair fall stopped and in 2 weeks his coat is full and shiny again. Show details

Contaminated batch, terrible investigation, never examined the food. Push back. Not just – My dog ‘golden retriever’ got sick and ended at vet. Directly related to the food. Vet showed an article and recommended to stay away from this brand. I took the food to pet barn and was placed for test. Called advance help line and took 4 months to investigate and blamed me at the end. They Never even tested the contaminated food and apparently… Read more

management made a decision that it wasn’t them. So unprofessional in their investigation. Do not recommend.

Ill Dog – A couple of years ago i bought Advance puppy biscuits for my border collie pup. She ended up with severe diarrhoea and vomitting and was on two lots of antibiotics. I then took my 4 dogs off dry dog food and after alot of research and i studied the diet given by Blind Dogs Australia, i decided to give them a fresh, raw well balanced meal which… Read more

is very costly but after reading all the reviews i would never go back. My dogs are very healthy and happy.

New packaging terrible not the same product – My wife who is blind purchased the new packaging product . She was told it was the same . However her dog has now had the scours for the past week . Checking the old packaging and comparing the new packaging I find the ingredients are a great deal different . A lot more fat content for starters . I would suggest your company understands how… Read more

difficult it is for a blind person to pick up after her dog in this situation . I will be referring the matter to guide dogs and vision Australiafor further action .

We have changed from dermocare as the has is ill after 7 years on the biscuit has got ill and can’t – Found biscuit good but after dog has been ill and has only eaten dermocare which over the last 7 years has been great but still vomits and can’t swollow and hard food

Excellent over 12 years – My maltese ShiTsu has been eating advance since 8 weeks of age. now nearly 12 years old and no problem. Supplement by adding some beef mine, chicken necks, chicken thighs twice a week . Also add a little can food for variety. Floyd is going really well

Awesome product – After owning 2 dogs a staffy and a neo mastiff both had to be taken to the vet in a emergency situation for a twisted stomach. Was feeding cheaper supermarket type dry food and was informed by the vet it was both were caused by being active and drinking water after eating the food ( mostly cereal ) it swelled in the stomach. I was advised to… Read more

feed either advance, ukuramba, or super coat,

Years later have gotten a staffy pup he enjoyed advance wet and dry food is healthy his coat is shiny and his stools are firm but easily passable if your still reading this I

Advance puppy food – Terrible puppy food for my French bulldog. I bought it when she was 10 weeks. She started with diarrhea and some blood. I stopped to give it to her and after a while diarrhea and blood stopped. Now she’s on home cooked food and a different grain free dry puppy food. I would not recommend it. They need to improve it.

Not a good experience – My puppy has been fed solely on Advance and she has come down with diahorria. She is only 10 months. We have taken her off her food and put her on a bland diet whilst we investigate the problem. My vet suggested when she's better to trial others. I will either find a qualified vet nutritionist not affiliated with any pet food company or do research on other brands. Thank you.

Costly lesson – I have been buying this product in breeder bags for dogs and cats. I'm not a breeder but have a large amount of rescue pets. I have also required the puppy version for 2 new additions. I have been using this product for many years. After it was recommended by a vet for a dog with sensitive tummy. Unfortunately after my last purchase all of… Read more

cats and dogs got severe diahorrea. It was severe. But 2 were so severe I had on 2 occasions had to put them in hospital for treatment, one for 5 days. It cost a lot of suffering and money for my babies. One was vomiting and passing blood. When talking to other animal contacts, some of their animals had also had this problem. I don't know what is in it now that made my babies so sick. But seriously they need to do in my opinion a recall. As soon as I changed food. All animals faeces returned to normal???

I think that speaks for its self!!

Very small dry food which is easy to eat for puppies – The lady at the pet supplies store recommended this when we were shopping before bringing our mini foxie puppy home. It is a good dry puppy food that becomes soft when mixed with water, as well as having very small pieces for little puppies to manage. It also mixes well with moist dog foods. However, our puppy is very fussy and was never really… Read more

interested in the Advance dry puppy food, and he often was scratching/itchy. I have since changed to Black Hawk dry puppy food and he loves that and no longer scratching/itching, and his coat is shinier and softer. He seems a healthier, happier puppy now.
