Savourlife dog food

🥊🥊

An Australian small-roots business, Savourlife puts a lot of emphasis on donating 50% of their profits to pet rescue associations. Compared to Scratch, who donates 2% of all revenue to rescue & climate action orgs, the difference can be significant (and really surprising).

Savourlife cooks their recipes in Australia, but the origin country of their ingredients is questionable. They mention making their food from ingredients ‘including real Australian meat’, which could mean all the other non-meat stuff that makes up Savourlife is internationally sourced.

Unlike Scratch – the only pet food company to include ingredient percentages and really emphasise transparency – dubious terms like ‘poultry oil’ and ‘natural flavouring’ are often found on Savourlife bags.

This tells you very little about the actual ingredients including, except that it’s highly likely they change from batch to batch. Not ideal if your best mate is chronically itchy, scratchy, or allergy prone.

It's not just dogs that love it

From world champion surfer Mick Fanning investing in Scratch, to news spots around Australia, we're not alone in wanting better food for Aussie dogs.

Surfing legend Mick Fanning has entered into the dog food business after investing in a trendy grain-free product that helped his pooch Harper.

In a horribly deceptive and broken market, Scratch has launched its fresher, healthier and more ethical food for Australia’s 4.8 million dogs.

Sold online and delivered via a personalised subscription, Scratch takes out dog food’s large retail margins and puts it into the recipe, spending up to 50 per cent more on Australian ingredients (no artificial preservatives or dodgy meats).

Subscription usually sucks. Ours is built with total flexibility.

Growing pup? Easily calculate their feeding as they develop. Mix-feeding? We'll help you adjust for that. Change of schedule? No worries. Bring your delivery forward, skip a box, get it delivered to your holiday destination on the moon. You're in control.

Full control over if, when or what food you want

Two freshly sealed 4kg bags at a time

Money back if your pup isn’t into it

Free delivery to metro areas
