Which Dog Food Is Right for Your Dog?

Compare our recipes to find the best fit for your dog based on their age, activity level, sensitivities and nutritional needs.

Start with your dog's life stage

Puppies need food formulated for growth. Adult dogs need a recipe and feeding amount suited to adult maintenance.

Choose suitable protein sources

Compare the animal ingredients in each recipe against ingredients your dog can eat and enjoys. PFA recipes use different combinations of turkey, chicken, kangaroo, lamb, fish and duck, so the full ingredient list matters.

Consider sensitive digestion individually

Sensitive digestion does not identify one universal recipe. Consider your dog's known ingredient history, introduce any new food gradually and ask your veterinarian about persistent symptoms.

Treat ingredient exclusions as firm filters

If your dog must avoid a named ingredient, exclude every recipe that intentionally contains it. Grain-free does not mean free from chicken, fish, lamb or another animal ingredient.

Handle lower-fat requirements separately

Turkey & Lamb – Low Fat is the current PFA recipe specifically identified for a low-fat requirement. Always follow veterinary directions prescribed for your dog.

Understand where grain-free fits

Grain-free describes an excluded ingredient category; it does not by itself determine whether a food suits an individual dog. Life stage, animal ingredients, the overall formulation and feeding needs still matter.

Read the complete dog-food label

Check the animal ingredients, stated life stage, nutritional adequacy information, feeding directions and product instructions—not only the recipe name or front-of-pack wording.

Understand complete-and-balanced nutrition

A complete-and-balanced food is intended to provide the daily nutrient profile for its stated life stage when fed as directed. Confirm the individual product label and feeding directions.

Transition gradually

Introduce a new food progressively so your dog has time to adjust. Some dogs may benefit from a slower transition.

Use the Nutrition Advisor when you're unsure

The Nutrition Advisor considers life stage, your dog's main concern, named ingredient exclusions and lower-fat requirements to narrow the current eligible PFA recipes. Its result is general guidance and does not replace veterinary advice.

Common questions

How do I know which PFA food is right for my dog?

Start with your dog’s life stage, known ingredient sensitivities and any specific dietary requirements. If you’re unsure which recipe to choose, our Nutrition Advisor can help narrow down the most suitable PFA options.

Which PFA recipe is intended for puppies?

Puppy Chicken & Duck is the current PFA recipe designated for the puppy pathway. Check its product information and feeding directions for your puppy.

What if my dog needs to avoid an ingredient?

Read the full ingredient list and remove every recipe containing the ingredient your dog needs to avoid. The Nutrition Advisor can apply the currently supported named ingredient exclusions before making a recommendation.

Is grain-free automatically better for every dog?

No. Grain-free is one formulation choice. The whole recipe, life-stage suitability, known ingredient requirements and feeding needs should guide the decision.

How should I change from one food to another?

Introduce the new food gradually and monitor how your dog responds. Dogs with sensitive stomachs may benefit from a slower transition.

OUR STORY


A Healthier Coat Starts with Better Nutrition


This Border Collie's journey is a wonderful example of the difference quality nutrition can make. Before switching to Pet Food Australia, they had noticeable hair loss around the eyes and poor coat condition. After making the switch, the missing hair grew back, their coat looked fuller, and they were back to looking and feeling their best. Our premium grain-free recipes are made with quality Australian ingredients and hemp seed oil, a natural source of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids to help support healthy skin, a shiny coat and overall wellbeing.
