Happy Curly girl loves ❤️ the taste – Twistie the 10 yr old Curly Coated Retriever - the fussy eater finally licks the bowl clean. Slowly introducing the chicken to meals and first 4 meals have been a smashing success. She loves it. Show details ·  1

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

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. Show details ·  1

Fantastic business and product – Roo has been on frontier pets since he was a pup. He never gets sick of it, he’s always excited for dinner time. I have recommended frontier pets dogfood to almost everybody I know with a dog. I have never had an issue with our subscription. It’s always on time and you can change your subscription to suit you for instance. If you go on holiday you can push your delivery date back. I’ll be happy to use frontier pets for my boys and entire life. 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. After doing a lot of research I have found that the high cereal content of most dog foods is not natural and dogs also should not have a diet based on cooked food, nearly all commercial dog food is… Read more ·  1

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.

Success at last- a satisfied pooch – I can honestly say that this is the only dog food our dog will eat. The Havanese breed are notoriously fussy and after 3 years of trialling every dog food imaginable another Havanese owner suggested this brand to us. Suki loves all of them. We also buy the chicken necks and tripe as treats. Show details ·  1

OBSESSED Pomeranian – Moe has a Frontier subscription and every now and then we deviate from the path, he’s completely offended when I do try to change it up. Hounds the living daylights out of me for every meal, I’ve never been pestered so much for food by my fur kid. I will be changing my cat over to the cat food also. Thankyou Xo Show details ·  1

Just Love This Food – I introduced Frontier Pets to our dog 7 years ago. He loved it then and loves it still to this day. When we adopted our 2nd dog 5 years ago, she went straight onto Frontier Pets food too. Our dogs are happy healthy and look amazing with their Frontier Pets diet and we are so grateful that we found Frontier Pets all those years ago. Show details ·  1

My Dog Loves It – My dog waits for his Frontier Pets no matter what protein. He also loves the chicken necks as well as the beef tripe. This is so easy to make for him and I know it is a quality food. Customer service is exceptional and the only thing that lets them down is the Post Office, But Frontier Pets has bent over backwards for me to help with delivery issues. 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.

Frontier - not what it use to be – I have been using frontier since we got our puppy 12 months ago. Recently they have changed the pellets to smaller ones and lots of crumbs - my dogs don’t like the new formula. They have also changed the packaging which I hate. The sticker labelling falls off easily, now I don’t know which bag is which. We alternate between beef, pork, chicken. I think we are going to stop purchasing frontier.

What do the dogs know that we don’t? – When I discovered Frontier Pets I was delighted. My young dog loved it and I wanted an ethical product. I was so happy I contributed a positive review on their website. However since they changed the pellet size my dog simply will not touch the chicken (she’s OK with the beef). A friend to whom I recommended the foods also tells me her 2 dogs… Read more

refuse the chicken. It can’t just be the change of size (although that’s also a problem now with more crumbs than pellets). I won’t be buying the product again. Very disappointing.

Appalling customer service - great dog food – The actual food, is good. My fussy dogs very much enjoy it, however, the humans at Frontier pets, have now ignored not one, but 2 emails I have sent them about non delivery and delay of my dog food. This is the only reason I have not rated with 5 stars. I placed an order on 17th November and have still not got it. I have ordered $1329 worth of… Read more ·  1

food for my dogs since 6th November, dates being 6th, 17th, and 26th, and to date, have only received the very first order for the starter pack at $156. I understand this is a busy time for postal and delivery services, but what is not acceptable, is for the staff to fail to respond to either of my emails, dated 2nd Dec and the 6th Dec, about my delayed orders worth $1173. Customer service needs to pull its socks up!

Small Pellets? More like dust – I have been purchasing this product for a while now. Expensive but my dog liked it and the larger pellets were easy to use and portion. In their wisdom they changed to smaller pellets. These pellets do not stand up well to postage. My expensive food now arrives and it is basically dust. Very hard to portion because a cup of dust is actually more… Read more

than a cup of pellets. I tried Customer Care but they said "everyone else" likes it. I spent $150 on a bag of dust, I even provided photos of the newly opened bag. Frontier, badger me almost weekly for reviews, so here it is. I did make comment on their instagram page but they somehow deleted the comment. If a company can't take criticism to improve or listen to a customer, they are not getting my money. I use your product only as a supplement as like most "green" products it is way too expensive. I won't purchase again.

High in fat – Percentage of fat in the food is definitely too high for older dogs that aren't as active as they were when younger. Dogs should only have 20% Max fat in their food. Frontier Pets is is the 30s! Show details

Great for my dog and great for me! – After a range of high grade dog food, and then trying to make raw food myself, I am very happy to have found Frontier! My fussy poodle has loved it now for over a year and his skin and general health is so good. I recommend it highly. So little work for me to provide him with good food. Show details ·  1

My pup hates it! – Very disappointed. I've wasted 250.-$ as my12week old puppy doesn't even want to look at it. Tried everything for more than 4 weeks now. Serving it cold or warm NOPE. Mashing it etc. NOPE. After a week I even tried to mix it with minced meat, tuna or cottage cheese. She eats a little bit, but you can tell she doesn't like it at all. Bought a… Read more

different brand and she eats like she has been starving for weeks! Her poo was incredibly hard too. Also - due to the price I tried to convince her for more than two weeks constantly to eat it. She lost half a kg which is a LOT for a puppy that size. I'm very disappointed and can not recommend this dog food at all.

Fantastic Dog Food – Frontier Pets is the most amazing dog food on the market today. Not only is it the closest food to a natural raw diet which is what our dogs should be eating, it contains offal and bone which are essential for optimum health, but it also promotes and fully supports high welfare for farmed animals. My five ridgebacks love it, they’re healthy, energetic and they have beautiful shiny coats. Can’t do better anywhere. Show details ·  1
