About Us

At Big Dog, quality matters and is at the heart of everything we do. From selecting the freshest ingredients, to the way we formulate, manufacture and package our products, we aim to provide the healthiest, most natural food for your pet.

Our mission is to create the healthiest natural food that pets were born to eat and thrive on.

As a family-owned Australian company, we’ve been making raw, healthy, nutritious pet food since 2000. We're proud to be Australia's leading healthy pet nutrition provider, keeping pets happy and healthy for 23 years.

Listen to this interview with Chris Essex about the Big Dog story.

We believe that nature knows best and add nothing unnatural or synthetic to our foods. We also believe in minimal processing to preserve the nutrient-rich content of fresh natural ingredients.

As well as the 100% carefully sourced ingredients from the human supply chain that we use, our processing facility is also top class. In fact, our production facility meets the same standards required for human-consumption meat manufacturing.

At our Brisbane factory our team blends together fresh select meats, along with crushed meaty bones, offal, fruits, vegetables and other pet-friendly superfoods to keep your companion happy and healthy.

Our promise to you and your pet

If it's not natural, it's not Big Dog, and this means:

NO artificial colours or flavours
NO preservatives
NO fillers
NO chemicals
NO irradiation of ingredients
NO cooking
NO synthetic vitamins, minerals or additives

We are committed to using real ingredients that you'll recognise. Because to us, pets are family and deserve real food. Food that makes them happy and keeps them healthy. We feed them as family.
