Bugsy's

About

Bugsy's is an Australian pet food maker working in three formats: air dried raw complete food, freeze dried single-protein treats, and slowly baked natural chews. The meat is Australian, the food is made and lab tested in Australia, and PeekAPaw stocks the full line in both dog and pet-treat formats. Air dried raw is a complete food, and it is denser than it looks The Premium Air Dried Raw range comes in Beef, Chicken, Kangaroo and Turkey, and each recipe is complete and balanced, so it can be the whole diet rather than just a topper. It is also much denser than kibble. Bugsy's feeding guide puts a 10kg dog at roughly 98g a day, which means a 3.5kg pack covers about five weeks. That catches people out in both directions: carry an old kibble scoop across and you will overfeed, but buy the 328g pack expecting a month of dinners and you will run out in days. Read 328g as a trial or topper size, 1.1kg as a small-dog bag, and 3.5kg as the everyday size. Because each recipe is a single protein, the range is also easy to rotate when you are working out what your dog reacts to, with kangaroo and turkey as the novel proteins. The freeze dried treats suit cats as well as dogs The 70g freeze dried bites pair one Australian protein with one functional botanical: beef with goji berry or turmeric, chicken with ginseng, emu with reishi, kangaroo with cordyceps, plus a plain white bait. These are treats, not meals, so feed them alongside a complete and balanced diet. They break apart easily, which makes them a sensible reward for an older pet or one with sore teeth, and they are stocked for cats as well as dogs. Chews and everyday rewards Bully sticks are the long-lasting option here: a single ingredient, fully digestible, and oven baked to keep the odour down, which matters if the chewing happens on the lounge room floor. Kangaroo liver, chicken heart and seaweed, air dried chicken and rosemary, and free-range chicken bites are quicker rewards better suited to training. Whatever y
