Recommended food
Super-premium kibble with high meat content (≥40%), grain-free or whole grain. Reference brands: Orijen, Acana, Taste of the Wild, Eukanuba.
Budget alternative
On a tight budget, Advance, Purina Pro Plan or Nutro Wholesome offer mid-high quality at reasonable prices. Avoid brands with grains as first ingredient.
Nutrition
An active Aussie needs high-quality fuel. For a 25kg adult, expect to feed 300-400g of premium dry kibble daily, split into two meals. Look for recipes high in animal protein and healthy fats (Omega-3 and 6) to support their intense energy levels and maintain that iconic coat shine. Because they are prone to hip issues, avoid overfeeding; you should always be able to feel their ribs. If your dog is a 'working' dog or doing agility, they may require a specific performance formula with higher caloric density to prevent muscle wasting.
