Unlike cats, dogs always need stimulation. While cats can happily go about their daily lives without significant human interaction, dogs thrive on companionship and following their master. Normally, we find people are concerned with how to fulfil this need while they are at work. Now, there are an increasing number of our community either working at home or social distancing due to COVID-19. While it is important that we all be extremely diligent in our effort to contain the virus and looking after our health, your dog still needs their daily exercise. So, what can...

Muscle Builder Mix to Support Skin, Tendons & Muscles

Written on March 6, 2020. Posted in General Care, Instincto, Pet Nutrition. Leave a Comment

The Instincto Muscle Builder Mix was originally formulated to assist many of our Blue and American Staffy’s coming in with skin issues. We found their owners were not only wanting skin support through a hypoallergenic blend, but also a blend that would support tendon and muscle development. We felt it was important that the mix be developed to support both young and older dogs. Research was conducted to find ingredients that would offer muscle development, tendon support and anti-inflammatory benefits. It was especially important for growing dogs, that we found...

Kangaroo on the Hop with Pricing

Written on February 19, 2020. Posted in Instincto, Pet Nutrition, Uncategorised. 2 Comments

As we are all aware, Australia has been in a drought, not that anyone might believe us now; lets still remember we are still in drought. Many areas are not getting rain, check out Atkinson dam level 6.5% just to keep us aware of the reality. So not only do our farmers feel it, but so do our wild game industry. So much so that the Western Kangaroo, which is nearly the most prolific breeder, has been placed on a 1-year moratorium so that their numbers can come back. Unfortunately, this is one of the main breeds that the exporters use and now that places not only price pressure because...

Fed as Nature Intended – Felines

Written on February 19, 2020. Posted in General Care, Instincto, Pet Nutrition, Uncategorised. Leave a Comment

Raw for Cats is Best In Australia we have been directed by doctors and medical professionals to go more towards a natural diet for ourselves to reduce carbohydrates and increase greens and balance our meat. This has come from our own history, where we ate from the fresh markets or our own garden, and balanced with our protein intake, consuming little to no preservatives. So, if we do the same thing for our cats which we should be doing for ourselves, we would need to go back to the big cats/prairie cats to see how they ate, and what would we find? Naturally cats are believed to be obligate...

It’s that time of year again… The bags are packed, uniforms are ironed, lunches have been made and everyone is getting back into their routine after the Summer break. Most of the family are usually excited about the new challenges that lie ahead, however, there’s one member that may not be ready… Your fur baby. Separation can be particularly difficult for dogs in the first few weeks of school, after a whole summer of playing with the children. The change in routine and lack of attention, can make your dog overly anxious or even depressed, with the usual signs being –...

Allowing Pets to eat as Nature Intended

Written on January 29, 2020. Posted in General Care, Pet Nutrition. 2 Comments

To achieve a long life and the health they deserve, pets should eat food that nature intended them to eat, just as their wild ancestors did. Evolutionary biologists have found that ancient canines adopted pack-living about 8 million years ago and they determined the best way to take down larger prey was to work together in a group – the spoils were shared and nothing was to go to waste. Eating was a survival action, in that the individual dog had a certain time to eat as much of the good part of the animal before the rest of the pack, so the canine digestive system...
