Petzyo<\/strong> is a good, solid, Australian deliver-to-your-door pet food company. They\u2019ve been around a few years now and have established a loyal following with a lot of great feedback.<\/p>\n For the Petzyo review we\u2019ll take a look at the Chicken & Turkey with Superfoods<\/strong> dry dog food formula, but keep in mind they also offer an excellent range of raw dog food (BARF patties), treats, and a couple of other dry formulas as well.<\/p>\n The Salmon & Ocean Fish with Green Lipped Mussels<\/strong> and Kangaroo with Sweet Potato and Superfoods<\/strong> offer you an opportunity to add variety to your dog\u2019s diet, something I always consider a good idea.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll skirt over the human-grade raw dog food as well, as it\u2019s well worth mentioning.<\/p>\n
I love the fresh approach Petzyo use with their marketing. There\u2019s no nonsense on the bag, it simply says \u201cPetzyo \u2013 Kibble that counts\u201d.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a few claims such as \u201cAustralian Made & Owned\u201d, \u201cSustainably-sourced\u201d, as well as \u201cGrain Free\u201d and \u201c100% natural\u201d. It\u2019s also \u201cSuitable for All Life Stages\u201d, which means it\u2019s above the bar no matter the age and nutritional needs of your dog.<\/p>\n It\u2019s nice they haven\u2019t plastered the bag with pictures of gourmet chicken and fresh stem broccoli like you find on other Australian brands made mostly of cereal grains. Simplicity is best.<\/p>\n The nice thing about the Petzyo dry food formulas is all the ingredients are decent inclusions. It\u2019s preserved naturally with rosemary rather than ambiguous chemicals, and it\u2019s great to see they use sustainable meats from Australian farms.<\/p>\n In the Chicken & Turkey formula we find the top two ingredients are what we\u2019d expect \u2013 sustainable chicken<\/strong> and turkey<\/strong>. Both are lean meats rich in protein your dog can digest, so we\u2019re off to a really good start with Petzyo.<\/p>\n Next we find a nice mix of plant-based ingredients, each with nutritional merit. It\u2019s nice to see a mix rather than bulking up the food with something like corn (like you find in many other Australian brands).<\/p>\n They start with sweet potato<\/strong> as an excellent low-GI ingredient with a range of nutritional benefits<\/a>. It\u2019s a source of antioxidant beta-carotene which has shown to protect against cancer and heart disease, and it\u2019s also a great source of fibre.<\/p>\n Peas<\/strong> and lentils<\/strong> are included which are great in moderation (again, with some other Australian brands we find most of the formula to be just peas). These will add vitamins and minerals to the mix, all of which are beneficial to your dog.<\/p>\n The mix is rounded off with a range of ingredients you\u2019ll instantly recognise as nutritious \u2013 carrots<\/strong>, broccoli<\/strong>, tomato<\/strong>, spinach<\/strong>, kelp<\/strong>, blueberries<\/strong>, parsley<\/strong>, basil<\/strong>, oregano<\/strong>, and the wonderful anticarcinogenic spice turmeric<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Petzyo have an optimal omega 6:3 ratio which is great for heart and joint health, but will also help reduce inflammation and improve overall skin and coat health. We find three omega-rich ingredients \u2013 chicken oil<\/strong>, flaxseed oil<\/strong>, and fish oil<\/strong><\/p>\n Each recipe is formulated for all life stages, meeting the needs of puppies, adults, and seniors alike, with balanced calcium and phosphorous ratios for healthy growth and maintenance.<\/p>\n All in all I find the formula of Petzyo dry foods very balanced. The protein sits around 25% which is above average, and 11% fat could be bulked up by adding some fresh meats\/fats to your dog\u2019s diet.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find some premium brands boast more protein (over 30%) but also come at a higher price, but boosting nutrition with the Petzyo raw dog food is a great answer for this \u2013 I\u2019ll cover that next.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a big fan of raw patties as a convenient way of offering your dog excellent unmolested nutrition. They come frozen, so all you need to do is take a patty out of the freezer in the morning for your dog\u2019s evening meal.<\/p>\n All three formulas in the Petzyo BARF range are complete and balanced and use human grade ingredients, which should give you peace of mind when feeding a raw diet!<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find a combination of raw meat<\/strong>, ground bone<\/strong>, and organs such as liver <\/strong>and kidney <\/strong>as the most nutrient-rich animal ingredients.<\/p>\n Like the Petzyo dry food formulas you\u2019ll find a range of vegetables and fruits, and eggs <\/strong>as a complete-protein source.<\/p>\n You really get what you pay for, with so many quality inclusions in the patties. Cold-pressed flaxseed oil<\/strong> is great to see, as is yoghurt<\/strong> and chia seeds<\/strong>. It\u2019s starting to sound like a fitness-junkie\u2019s morning smoothie.<\/p>\n Similar to the Petzyo kibble, you will also find the inclusion of kelp (ascophyllum nodosum) which is a brown seaweed with bioactive compounds. It\u2019s known to reduce oral bacteria leading to decreased plaque and tartar. I consider dental health highly important<\/a>, and that\u2019s one step of many you should use to keep your dog\u2019s teeth clean.<\/p>\n Kelp has other benefits too, with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which boost immune function, thyroid, and skin health in dogs. It\u2019s great for us too, so keep that in mind!<\/p>\n Dog\u2019s are essentially carnivorous animals with a digestive system geared to digest raw meat, so if you\u2019re in any way put off with raw feeding just keep in mind thousands of dogs these days thrive on raw foods.<\/p>\n The Petzyo raw dog food is well worth considering, and a mix of dry food and raw patties is a great way to feed a dog without cost spiraling out of control. <\/p>\n Ingredients of Petzyo dog food (Chicken & Turkey with Superfood Extras):<\/p>\n Sustainable Chicken and Turkey Meat Meal, Peas, Lentils, Superfoods (Sweet Potato, Tomato, Basil, Spinach, Broccoli, Carrot, Rosemary, Oregano, Parsley, Kelp, Turmeric, Blueberries, Green Tea), Poultry Fat (stabilized with mixed Tocopherols & Rosemary Extract), Essential Vitamins and Minerals (including Calcium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, Magnesium, Iron, Copper, Zinc, Manganese, Iodine, Selenium, Vitamins A, C, D3, E, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B9, B12, Choline), Poultry Digest, Sunflower Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Chicory Root Extract (Source of FOS), Amino Acids (Taurine, DL Methionine), Fish Oil, Yucca Extract.<\/p>\n The guaranteed analysis of Petzyo dog food (Chicken & Turkey with Superfood Extras):<\/p>\n We hope our Petzyo dog food review has been of use.
