Something to think about by Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food

Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food

Would love your thoughts on this;

There are many popular super premium dog foods in the Australian market, also available in the UK, Europe and America. They claim that their food is breed specific and specially manufactured for all the main breeds.

The reality is;

There is no corroborating evidence that dogs of different sizes, breeds and ages actually benefit from any specialised diets. We would be very interested in learning exactly what, as a percentage is the difference in ingredients between a Great Dane and a Chihuahua, other than the size of kibble and the tinkering with some of the additives.

Do you think rather than any nutritional value related to specific breeds it may simply be a marketing ploy to attract the buyer?

Let us know your thoughts?

Dear lovers of Dogs,

My German Shepherd Dog has thrived on Performadog from a puppy stage to being a big boned, well muscled, very energetic 17 month old, in great condition.

No digestive upsets or bad smells from this quality dry food at a very affordable price. I have had no hesitation in recommending Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food for other family members' dogs, no matter the age.

It delivers great results

Super Premium Dry Dog Food - Nutritionally Dense Food For Dogs

Recently we decided to make a switch to Performadog Premium Dry Food after hearing very good reports about the product from friends in the dog world. I would highly recommend this premium food as my 3 dogs are loving the taste and looking great in condition and muscle tone. They are very healthy and full of energy and vibrancy! 

I have found their stamina levels to be up, and general overall activity is higher than normal. Anyone looking to get the best out of their dogs make the switch to Performadog which is purchased at a very competitive price considering it is an all Australian product using the latest technology in its processes and packed with the best ingredients!

Michelle Lynn can't praise Performadog Dog Super Premium Dry Dog Food enough

My name is Michelle Lynn and I run my own business “Michelle’s Dog Behaviour and Training”.  I offer a variety of services including running group and private classes around the Yarra Valley region and training and working scent detection dogs for Detector Dog’s Australia.  

I also train and compete with my own sports dogs so it is vital that I feed my dogs something that not only is palatable for them but holistically beneficial for them to fuel them all day long. I’ve been using and selling Performadog for the past 3 years and have seen great results. 

The feedback I get from all my clients has been fantastic.  

Once they start on Performadog they can’t stop.  People's dogs will even pick out the Performadog kibbles and leave the other dry food.  Dog’s coats are softer, you feed less of it than other dry food products on the market and best of all, the amount that comes out the other end is very little and rock solid!  I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Dog Food Lovers make the Switch to Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food you wont regret it

We started using Performadog Premium Dry Dog Food 4 years ago as that is what she had been fed by her breeder. Previously we were using another premium dry food for our other dogs, thinking we had found the best, we then tried Performadog Premium Dry Dog Food and noticed an almost instant change. Her coat gleamed, her stools were consistent and much smaller and her weight rarely fluctuated. We threw out 15kg of the other brand as we’d never give that to our dogs again!

We loved the convenience of being able to feed both our puppies and adult dogs the same food, in which they both thrived from.

One of our dogs has an extremely sensitive stomach, the smallest change or difference in food gives her severely runny stools, this has ceased since changing to Performadog Premium Dry Dog Food, unless of course she gets into the bag and eats kilos of it, she just loves it that much!

We love being able to support an Australian owned small business who cares about the quality of their product and their customers.

Tasmania K9 Search and Rescue Comments on Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food

As the director and handler of Tasmanian K9 Search and Rescue it is imperative that I feed my dogs the best performance dog food as people’s lives depend on them having the energy and condition in order to deal with lengthy search periods and harsh environments in which we are deployed.

Since switching to Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog food I’ve found all my dogs have a huge increase in energy and are able to keep their peak condition in periods of intense work.

Most noticeable their muscular development, stamina and sustained periods of mental application has increased almost immediately.

Importantly also for any business is cost and in my opinion you will not find a better priced product that delivers the quality ingredients and most importantly your dogs will look healthier and perform at their peak level of performance.

I recommend Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog food to everyone and suggest you give it a try you will notice the difference immediately.

Allgemein Rottweilers loves Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food

It’s been 3 years now since we started feeding our dogs Performadog (puppies, adolescents and adults).  Previous to that we had tried several commercial dry foods but finally we’re confident we’ve found a premium food that agrees with our dogs.  They are energised, maintain their condition and their stools are consistent.

In recent months our 2 year old female ‘Swift’ and 3 year old male ‘Rolex’ passed their Endurance Test, which is a test of endurance run over a distance of 20 kilometres.  In preparation for their ET both dogs were prepared by our daughter 

Rachel over an 8 week period by following a rigorous training program coupled with Performadog and come trial day the muscle definition and stamina of both dogs was excellent.  To quote our vet ‘Rolex is as muscled as a Greyhound.’

We highly recommend Performadog and continue to spread the word about its quality.  

Take it from us, give it a try and find out for yourself.

Mehrzad khademollah dog loves Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Foood

Before using Performadog Super Premium dry dog food I had always found it hard to get my dog to eat dry food, trying many brands all of which he disliked never eating the recommended daily amount. 

As a result he was under weight and had no energy. When I first got it I also thought it wouldn't work thinking I had to switch to a RAW diet as my dog would never come to eating dry food. 

It has been 3 months and counting now. Within the the first week I started to notice the difference, was slowly packing on the kilos and starting to bug me more and more having the extra energy. He his now the correct weight.

Michael Buckland from Qld loves Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food

I came across 'Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food' whilst admiring Von Forell Dobermans on the website. I decided to make an inquiry  as I was underwhelmed with the other premium food I had been using.

From my initial phone call, to follow up emails , customer service received from Kris & Tonia was first class.
Shipping to Brisbane was fast, (3 days from order to my door) and well priced
After first couple months feeding my 5yo German Shepherd 'Performadog' a few things I've noticed are;

•Increased energy levels
•Less stools and more consistent
•Improved condition

I will definitely be sticking with Performadog!

Kind Regards,

Tasmanian Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food Distributor tell why she loves the food

I have been feeding Performadog Dry Dog Food for almost 2 years to my Dobermanns and dachshunds. They love the taste, their condition is good, coats are magnificent and on a recent visit to the vet for their annual vaccinations he noted how good the four dogs teeth were, to quote him 'Whatever you are feeding them, keep feeding it' . 

The dogs energy lasts all day whether at competitions or running around the farm. Another bonus is that it is Australian owned and made.

I was so impressed with Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food that I have become the Tasmanian distributor.

Kath Stice lives in New Zealand and raves about Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food

I have been showing and breeding GSDs for over 30 years.  I have used various dog foods (dry and wet) over those years.  You are always striving to give your dogs and puppies the best start in life.

I am always open to looking into and trying new products or products recommended by other breeders.

In 2013 I started using a New dog food called Performadog.  It had been newly imported into NZ by friends and German Shepherd enthusiasts Doug and Julz LITTLE. 

I was using a Good quality dry food at the time but the price of that food was going up and the bag size going down.  

Performadog hit the market in NZ.  It  looked to be of a very high quality, specially designed with our  beloved GSD in mind.  The magic of this food, was that it could be feed to all breeds. 

I started using Performadog and raised my first litter on it at the beginning of 2014. I have not looked back.

I am still getting value for money.  My dogs are reaping the benefits of a very high quality food  and now  my new puppy owners are benefitting as well.   Because of these owners, their  friends have hopped on the bandwagon and are now feeding Performadog to their dogs.  The beauty of this food is that “Performadog “  fits all types of dogs... from the large to the small. 

I’m looking forward to using Performadog for a long time to come.

Doug and Julz little love Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food So much - they became New Zealand Distributors

In the last two years of feeding Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food to our fur kids the results have been amazing. Their coats and demeanor for life has excelled.

Performadog is suitable for all stages of life we have weaned  German shepherd babies onto it and fed our 14 year old  with different ages in between.

The ease of having an exceptional food suitable for our whole kennel is a blessing for the pocket and a busy lifestyle

The ratio of ingredients give the  correct growth rate for puppies  not pushing the growth plates to fast to stop joint problems and animals to large in height

I would recommend Performadog to any dog owner and can not speak more highly of it.

We love the results so muc that we are now the New Zealand Distributors.

Emma Thompson loves Performadog Super Premium

Attention Dog Lovers,

We have been using Performadog for just over two years now. With a big dog that eats eight cups a day, the biscuits have been an absolute hit. They always go down a treat and are enjoyed by both our boys. The small biscuit design is great for both our large and small dog. 

Being competitive in price we will always choose Performadog over any other brand, as we know it has been perfectly designed for our boys requirements. The premium selection of ingredients makes for a low allergenic product that even our most highly allergenic dog can take.

Marielle of RYPT Personal Training and Loving Quality Petcare comments about Performadog Dry Dog Food

Dear Dog Lovers,

I cannot rate Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food any higher after seeing how quick and effective it worked on my Akita and German Shepherd.

My working line black German Shepherd has been raised on Performadog from a puppy and from the get go it's been absolutely amazing. She's always had a consistent, healthy digestive system being on it, even when I add her raw meats and bones to it she has always been fine. It has done wonders on not just her physical appearance but also with her activity level and recovery. She has excellent muscle quality, super soft coat, very bright eyes and even the black pigment on her lips and nose is more vibrant then the norm.
My Akita was originally on another holistic Australian made premium food and when I ran out I tried her on Performadog. 

I expected her digestive system to be unsettled from the sudden change in dog food as would be expected, but boy was I wrong. Her stool was consistent and regular, if not better then before. If I slowly add extra raw meat or raw bones to her current diet I have no problems with her stomach feeling a bit off, the way it sometimes got on her previous brand. 


Her coat has remained nice and plush so far whilst on Performadog and I have certainly noticed her recovery after any exercise become quicker which is amazing. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of Performadog and cannot recommend it enough.

Shane comments about Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food

To All Dog Lovers in Australia 

“My family and I have been involved in the veterinarian profession for over 30 years. In this time we have seen many condition(s) which dogs have sustained due to poor quality nutrition, which include: growth issues, skin problems and lack of working performance.

Some elements that I look for in a high quality dog food are the guarantee analysis and the location of manufacture. I have concerns in regards to some imported dog foods because they may be gamma-rayed (food irradiation) when entering Australia.

I am extremely happy knowing that Performadog has its ingredients sourced locally and manufactured to the highest quality and standard. Also the protein percentage is at 25% with a low carbohydrate element upon which a working dog requires for optimum performance.

Thanks for providing a high quality Australian dog food that ticks all my boxes”.

Margaret Basil's amazing comments about Performadog Super Premium Dry Dog Food

D​ear Performadog Super Premium,

I cannot express enough thank you's and absolutely amazement at how rapid Rook's bowel movements, stools, overall happiness and ease of transition ​the moment he started on Performadog. 

​As a breed that is rare within Australia (1 in 4) it was difficult to understand the type of nutrients which were comparable to what he use to eat. I have tried all of the optimal 'high quality' products and have AT BEST had mild-soft bowel movements including dis-interest, poor eating habits and overall boredom. We have gone through (in various forms of the brand as well):

• Barf
• Homemade Raw Diet w/bones etc
• Canidae
• Pro-Form 
• BlackHawk 
• Ivory Coat
• Meals for Mutts
• Taste of the Wild
• Ziwipeaks​

I was absolutely cautious with Performadog initially as I have always experienced the transition to the painstakingly slow and without much improvements. However, the moment I put Rook on Performadog - this was an absolute first he has ever 'gobbled' (I can't believe I have used that word correctly without exaggerating) and his stools are actually solid. I am starting to wonder how I managed 4 years of dealing with the mess.

Thank you for providing such a quality product dog food. I hate to admit but I do have a very fussy eater and Performadog has just about made me question what is currently mainstream in the market as being 'optimal'. Thank you again for the continued passion, devotion and care in Performadog. it has only been 2 weeks but so far, Rook and myself stand by it COMPLETELY.

Thank you kindly!!
