Looks can be deceiving – Looks can be deceiving. When the food first arrived I thought there’s no way our dog would eat it. He loves it! Wolfs it down like one of our cats is going to steal it. You’ve done an amazing job creating this food Show details · 1
Slightly disappointed. Staff were lovely to order with on the phone but I ran out of food and still don’t have my first ever order with frontier. I did another order with eureka pet co which is coming tomorrow and I ordered it after frontiers It’s coming all the way from Queensland and still has another week to even to arrive to WA!

realise this wasn’t express post and was slow. Took 2 days after order to even ship and it’s been about a week so far. 2 weeks most likely until I receive my first ever frontier order. So it’s eureka and SPD air dried Duck until we receive our order. Not sure if I’ll order this again with shipping being so slow :(
Wanting to try something different for my frenchie pup who has vestibular disease a neurological condition.
Recently switched my 6 month old Groodle puppy to Frontier Pets. He wasn't interested anymore in the other premium brand I was feeding him. He stopped eating at breakfast & never finished his bowl. From day one on Frontier Pets he has licked his bowl clean & is now eating 3 meals a day. He absolutely loves it. Best thing is you don't need added… Read more · 1
freezer space & can store it in the pantry with a fantastic shelf life too. It is a little expensive but I feel its worth it to keep him in top condition.
Frontier – **Frontier Dog Food Review** I recently started feeding my two groodles, Aly (13 months) and Evie (7 1/2 months), Frontier Dog Food, and the difference has been remarkable. Both of them absolutely love it! It's clear that the quality of ingredients really resonates with them — they can’t seem to get enough. While I will admit that Frontier is on… Read more · 1
the pricier side compared to other brands, I truly believe that the investment is worth it. Feeding them high-quality food not only enhances their enjoyment at mealtime but also contributes to better overall health. In the long run, I’m confident that this choice will help reduce vet bills and ensure my dogs remain happy and active.
In conclusion, if you’re considering a premium dog food option that your pets will enjoy and that supports their long-term health, I highly recommend giving Frontier

The Whole Range of Frontier Pets food products are exceptionally good~ – Murphy keeps going from strength to strength on his Frontier Pets food regime. He now has the lamb and salmon as his main staple - no more tummy upsets or itchy skin. We recently sampled all the treats too and we are hooked, me because he loves them and him because he feels special and yet they are healthy - the new lamb hearts are a new… Read more · 1
favourite, but he still loves the Beef Tripe and the Chicken Necks. He is allowed one of those every afternoon when we come back from our walk and he sits down immediately next to the "treat" cupboard in wait for his tasty morsels! I am going away at Xmas and we have a dear friend and pet lover coming to house sit and look after Murphy. Makes my briefing of her re his food requirements simple and easy. If only I had known about these products when I had my last dog who spent his whole life with sensitive stomach and skin issues. Not a problem with Frontier Pets in the family!
Recovery from surgical trauma 3rd degree burns – Our 9 month old young dog/puppy suffered full thickness burns during a desexing operation. Heat pads were used, which I’ve since heard is standard. But they were too hot and Effie being unconscious couldn’t whimper or indicate any distress. Google it - animal heat pad burns, it’s a thing! We couldn’t see the burns under her fur, but a few days… Read more · 1
after surgery she became very ill as the two burn sites had become infected. We immediately took her to another vet who diagnosed the burns and infection. Effie was a very sick little Jack Russell Terrier for a couple of weeks and off her food, but mouthful by mouthful, gained energy through her Frontier puppy food and a few favourite treats. So grateful to Frontier and the 2 new vet clinics - Plympton Vet(SA) and Port Vincent Vet(SA) for great clinical assistance to help our pup back to full health and Jack Russell bounciness!! Highly recommend. And huge thanks to Frontier Food, it was difficult to feed her but eventually she felt encouraged by her healthy Frontier food. Her new nextdoor friend Titch (Maltese/Schitzu puppy) shared her food and is now also a devotee! Please always ask your vet to monitor the use of thermal pads during surgery. The burns can be horrendous. And if Effie and Titch are winners of Frontier food, please donate it to an animal shelter. Those poor kids need some tasty nutrition. Thank you! Effie and Titch xxoo
A life changer with feeding my fussy fur babies – My photo bomb moment from Walter as I was trying to take a picture of the girls! As a proud mother of 3 fur balls, 2 Maltese cross Poodles, Lillie and Gracie and little Walter the Long Haired Chihuahua, it didn't take long before I found fussy eaters in my house. To be honest I have worked my way through all sorts of premium brands, cooked… Read more · 1
poached chicken rice and vegies, you name it I have just about done it, with all sorts of health food options. I was introduced to Frontier when I was minding two fur balls belonging to a friend. My furkids absolutely loved it and I could not believe their bowls were clean. It has been a great option for me to try and I love that you can get 3 packs together of different varieties. The latest we tried was Freeze Dried Lamb and Wild Caught Salmon. I am amazed at their coats, particularly Walters which has a wonderful sheen since getting onto Frontier. Many thanks for your food options we really appreciate them. As for cost I dont find it expensive because A) they eat the lot and B) one 3kg lasts me a month with three dogs being fed this at dinner time with a handful of poached chicken. The best part is I can rotate the flavours too so they get variety all the time.

Healthy and delicious. We've tried many premium dog food options and Frontier is by far the favourite! She loves every flavour so we get the 3-pack. We add two tablespoons of water to a few tablespoons of food (about 12g) and then we zap it in the microwave for 10 seconds in a small ramekin. Comes out perfect! Our dog isn't a guts for any other… Read more · 1
food, but we just accidentally both fed her dinner tonight and she gobbled it up as if she hadn't been fed at all
I like to give our toy poodle a variety of textures to enjoy so with this brand she has freeze dried, another brand air dried and another brand kibble. This is a good dental idea as with air dried and kibble it helps clean teeth. Anyway, this is by far her favourite! Very delicious and easy to make for her. I only add a little bit of warm water as… Read more · 1
I don't like it soupy or she will get meat juice on her fur. Anyway, she loves loves love it. Highly recommend!
Best food ever – My older dog who is diagnosed with EPI is very good with this food we have tried so many different options but this one works the best. We just got a new puppy a few weeks ago and he is now fully on Frontier puppy. They both love it and it’s so easy to prepare, we use a bit of bone broth to dilute. Show details · 1

Hit and miss .. and storage is REALLY important – We have a 2 year old Aussie Shepherd who is notoriously picky. After a journey of nearly 20 different dog foods we eventually arrived at Frontier. Initially, with the trial packs, it was a clear hit. For the first time he was enthusiastic about food and clearing his bowl. I was so excited that I promptly ordered more. As he's a larger breed I then… Read more
grabbed a large 5kg bag of the chicken. Barely halfway through the bag he suddenly started refusing the food. I was devastated that I'd stupidly paid hundreds of dollars for food that now had no use. I contacted the company and was completely blown away by their customer support. After a bit of Q&A they suggested that the food may have oxidised and "gone bad". We had been storing the food in our garage in Qld which gets quite hot. I'd also been decanting small amounts into a plastic container for easier feeding. I was advised to throw out the existing food and they promptly replaced the food (for free) with three new bags in a smaller sizing and with a variety of flavours. With the fresh bags our dog suddenly started eating again.
With the replacement bags I took great care with storage, moving our dog food storage area to a cool, dark cupboard and removing air from bags before resealing. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he started to refuse to eat again though. We did find he preferred it with warm water rather than cold but his interest was still sporadic.
Customer service team is amazing but it wasn't a long term win for us and we have since moved to a different brand.
Hi Beezee,Thank you so much for your review and for… Read more
Dogs absolutely hate it – They happily ate the small trial pack but the larger bag they would not eat at all… gave the remaining food to my parents to see if their dogs would eat it but they also refused it. Bloody huge waste of money! Show details

I miss the old Frontier Pets :( – I have been a customer of Frontier Pets since the beginning! Unfortunately, my most recent order will be my last. This used to be my dog's favourite food since he was a puppy - he would go absolutely feral for it. It was a great alternative when travelling. Now, he has thrown up after eating this food, he refuses to eat the Pork AT ALL and he is… Read more
so-so about the Beef and only eats it if I add toppers and it's clear to see he no longer enjoys it. Given the price of the product, plus shipping, the pellet and recipe changes and because my dog will no longer eat it, I can no longer justify the purchase. I miss the old Frontier Pets product. I need to listen to my dog on this one and will be finding a new food. Di, I have always been a supporter of you and Frontier Pets and you and the team have always offered great service but I just can't continue to be a customer. I hope you can take on board the feedback of the recent reviews here which echo my recent experience and consider making changes to go back to the old pellets and recipe - I would be happy to support you again in the future.

Yummy freeze dried beef! – As a first time dog owner my furparents have been looking to feed me the best pet food there possible.

She also has been prone in the past to a very sensitive stomach resulting in diarrhea but since starting her on Frontier her gut health has improved out of sight with no further episodes .

do is put the food in the bowl with some water. The price does hit hard a bit, however you do seem to get what you pay for, which is a high quality food with high quality ingredients, that are not easy to source yourself otherwise (offal). I'm a big believer in not feeding non- free-range products to Ivy because if you choose free range for your own food, it makes sense you wouldn't support the market for non free-range meat with pet food. I really like Frontier is all free range and that's pretty unique. I feel I can trust the product as well. No need to worry about where it's made and where the meat is coming from. It's nice to support Australian growers as well. I would like to see a bigger value pack for the individual products, as Ivy didn't seem to do well on the chicken version of the food ( I think this is due to the lamb offal in the product, being a bit too rich for her). This prevents me from buying the variety pack of all 3 of the variants. She does like the pork version as well. Being able to select your 3 packs for a reduced price would be nice.
Great concept food – I love the idea of Frontier Pets food, but I have mini-Schnauzer, and she has other ideas. Sometimes she gobbles it down and other times she turns her nose up at it. She doesn't eat enough of it, so I have to supplement her with kibble. Show details

5 stars from Milo – I have an extremely fussy cavoodle. I have tried so many of the premium brands. he always likes them at first but after a few days the food stays in the bowl until eventually he eats it due to being very hungry. Not so with Frontier Pets, we have been using for about 1 month and he still loves it and eats all the food every time. The only thing I don’t like is the bad breath he has immediately afterwards.

Perfect potty every time! – Bambi loves her Frontier pets food!! Her potty is perfect, so we know the food works for her and digests very well which means more nutrient absorption too! We initially tried their sample packs and were blown away by the quality ingredients. Now swap between the beef, pork and lamb flavours regularly and Bambi loves the variety. Show details · 1

Fantastic Dog Food – My dog Ned, is a four year old King Charles Cavalier, he has always been very fussy with food, he will not eat canned dog food no matter the cost.

cereal based and cooked at high temperature. I started him on a BARF diet (originally an acronym of Bones and And Raw Food in later years also called Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) and he is happy with the diet and eats well. I prepare some BARF for him myself.
As far as I am concerned the best commercial BARF dog food is Frontier Pets and Ned just loves it more than any other commercial food. So far he has had the Free-Range Chicken and the Free-Range Lamb + Wild Caught Salmon, he likes both equally. He is a very healthy and happy dog.
As it has to be purchased direct from the manufacturer, it cuts away retail mark-ups. The service Frontier Pets provide is excellent, so I can recommend them highly.
Unlike most dog food available, not only is Frontier Pets Aussie made it's also Aussie owned. Not American or Swiss owned as are about 80% of dog foods sold in Australia are. It's great to see a relatively small Aussie company making such a fantastic product.
