Here's why food should never be left for your pet to free feed on all day. Unfortunately, many people believe that kibble is impervious to going rancid and getting contaminated.
As the aflatoxins do not smell and can't be seen it's a dangerous practice with a high mortality rate if the dogs digest this.
Doesn't matter if it's wet or dry food always feed only what your dog will eat in a short time and wash up their bowls as you would your own🐾

Enhance your dogs health with our Dozer Dinner Blends!
Our blends are based on the BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) style of feeding, which offers numerous benefits for dogs as it is a species-appropriate diet.

Here are some key benefits:
🐾Improved Digestion: Raw diets are easier to digest than processed foods.
🐾Enhanced Coat Condition: A raw diet can lead to a softer, fuller coat.
🐾Weight Management: Our raw meals do not contain cereal fillers (carbohydrates) and being high in protein, this can help manage your dog's weight and muscle tone.
🐾Balanced Gut Flora: Studies show raw meat-based diets produce a more balanced gut flora than kibble.
🐾Increased Lifespan: Lean dogs not only live longer but suffer less inflammation & less arthritis.

It’s also important to note that we also offer our Blends in a Boneless range.
This is to suit the style YOU wish to feed your dog. For instance, you may find that your dog prefers cooked food – so if this is the case, we recommend using the Boneless Blend as cooked bone should never be fed.
Plus, many people prefer to feed the essential bone content of their dogs diet via a fresh raw meaty bone for enrichment and dental reasons. We can guide you on any options you prefer.

At Dozer & Co we support you to learn and enhance your dogs bowl for better health – because that is what we are all about!

All fresh food is available in-store only at:
57 Joslin St, Kotara
Wed-Fri 8.30am to 4pm
Sat 8am to 12pm

🦘Wallaby Wings – yes that’s right Wings!
Well, OK they may be as ‘real’ as Buffalo Wings as far as the name goes but Wallaby Wings are actually sourced from the small forelegs of the Wallaby🦘

🦴This makes them a great size raw meaty bone for smaller breeds

Wallaby meat is a fantastic choice for dogs due to its numerous health benefits.
🥩It is a lean meat, high in protein, and low in fat, making it particularly suitable for dogs that require a low-fat diet.
💪The high protein content of Wallaby meat contributes to muscle growth and repair, which is essential for active dogs. The meat is also rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that support overall health and well-being.
❤️Moreover, Wallaby meat is a good source of taurine, an amino acid that is vital for heart health.

☀️It’s getting hotter – so here is a yummo DIY dog icy treat you can make at home.
Dozer & Winnie just love these on hot days.🌞

Plus there are health benefits to the ingredients used, so don’t just give them your human ice-cream with all those additives and sugars, give them a treat that supports their health - check this out below:

🍍Pineapple – Did you know that fresh pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which aids in digestion and boosts your dog's immune system. It's also a good source of vitamin C, however, like most fruits, it’s high in sugar and should be kept to a minimum in any dog's diet.

🫐Blueberries – Not just a pretty looking addition, Blueberries are a rich source of antioxidants, which play a crucial role in promoting a healthy immune system and slowing the aging process. Plus, the addition of blueberries to a dog's diet has been linked to preserved cognitive abilities in senior dogs, making them a beneficial food for aging pets.

🐾Chia Seeds – These little powerhouse seeds are highly nutritious and are an excellent source of fibre, antioxidants, and minerals. Chia is also a good source of phosphorus, potassium, copper, iron, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids. It's said to have 3 times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as salmon!

🍶Kefir - A fermented milk product that is known for its probiotic benefits, which can aid digestion, help absorb nutrients more efficiently, and boost the immune system.

Of course you could replace Kefir with Plain Natural Greek Yogurt and still provide awesome probiotic benefits.

The chewiest of treats, these long lasting Moo Tubes (Trachea) are sure to please.

🐾They are a natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin, which are essential for joint health. These compounds are found in bovine tracheal cartilage and can help protect against cartilage degeneration. This makes them a particularly good choice for dogs with joint issues or those prone to conditions like osteoarthritis.

🐾Dehydrated beef trachea chews can also contribute to oral health. Chewing on these treats can help clean your dog’s teeth, massage their gums, and strengthen their jaws. This can lead to fresher breath and healthier teeth and gums.

🐾Plus, these chews can provide entertainment for your dog, satisfying their natural urge to chew. This can help reduce boredom and anxiety, and prevent destructive chewing behaviour.

✔️An added bonus is that they are great for stuffing with their dinner or other treats like sardines, cottage cheese, mashed pumpkin or meat mince.

HELP! I feel as though I am going through an 'I want another puppy stage' so help me keep my house sane by sharing your puppy pics🐾

Did you know Bully Sticks (a.k.a. Pizzle) are not just a treat but a dental defender for your dog?

These robust, 15cm long chews, sourced from the w***y of Bulls, are more than just a unique snack.

Here's the scoop on their dental benefits:

🐾 Protect Against Decay: Regular chewing of Bully Sticks helps keep your dog's teeth clean and healthy, warding off decay.

🐾 Plaque and Tartar Fighter: The mechanical action of chewing these sticks aids in reducing plaque and tartar buildup, promoting better oral health.

Why choose Bully Sticks? They're a rare and nutritious find, sourced exclusively from males, with a limited supply making them highly sought-after. Plus, they're a safe and digestible option for your furry friend.

After being dehydrated for 72 hours, they're packed with taurine for heart health. Always supervise your dog while they enjoy a Bully Stick and remember moderation is key.

These 100% Australian Beef treats, free from preservatives or additives!!

Grab a Bully Stick and give your dog's teeth the care they deserve! 🦷
