BACK TO THE BASICS: PET MINCE DIRECT

It’s back to the basics for Adrian Eyre and his expert team at Pet Mince Direct.

Pet Mince Direct is a local, family-owned business with a passion for providing tasty, 100 per cent natural raw diet dinners for your furry friends.

A raw diet is sourced from easily digestible, bioavailable food and avoids all the nasty elements that can end up in pet food sold by standard commercial stores.

“Raw food makes for a happier and healthier pet,” Adrian said.

“It is more useful and bioavailable for our furry friends, which leads to healthier and shinier coats, fewer vet trips, and probably one of the most important, smaller and less stinky poop!”

Pet Mince Direct only manufacture with preservative-free, human-grade raw food products. They also make sure to track exactly where their ingredients are coming from.

95 per cent of raw diet products are sourced from Australia, with almost all vegetable products coming from local farms in the Lockyer Valley. The remaining 5 per cent of products are imported from around the world, including Green Lipped Mussels, a nutritional powerhouse from New Zealand, and a specific type of seaweed found only in Norwegian waters.

For those concerned about potential negative side-effects of feeding your pet raw meat, Adrian assures that it is completely safe.

“If the meat comes from a human-grade and trusted source, like here at Pet Mince Direct, then it will be healthy,” Adrian said.

“For healthy animals, there are no risks in feeding them raw meat — it’s what their bodies have been designed to digest.”

Pet Mince Direct work closely with a team of industry experts consisting of nutritionists, naturopaths, vitamin consultants, herbalists and even a commercial baker to ensure their food is safe and they meet the scientific pet food standards set out by the National Research Council.

Raw food is also very affordable with the cost of feeding a 40kg dog daily being less than a cup of coffee.

Adrian’s advice for pet owners who are considering a raw pet food diet is to just jump straight into it.

“The proof is in the pudding and our team are more than happy to guide and answer any burning questions you may have to kickstart your pet’s raw food journey”.
