About us

4Legs is a much-loved Australian owned and made, natural dog food brand, built over 25 years by a bunch of 2-legged people who happen to be related.

It all began in 1996 when Tony Ratten was scouring the supermarket for fresh, wholesome food to feed the family’s beloved dog, Coco the Schnauzer. Unable to find what he was looking for, Tony decided to create his own, and 4Legs was born.

Sonja Coghill

I messaged them asking for very specific details regarding a few of their options due to my dog's disease, and they went above and beyond to make sure I knew every nutritional fact about these products."

Erin Shannon
5 Stars "I can't recommend 4Legs high enough. My dogs just LOVE it and as a pet owner, I love that it is preservative-free. Since starting them with the 4Legs Slow Cooked their coats are a lot less greasy, they sleep better and are calmer. A wonderful product I'm so glad I found 4Legs, Thank you."

FAQ'S

You have new packaging! Is the product the same?

Yes! While we have updated our branding, we have kept everything the same in all our ranges. They are still Australian-made, natural, free of added sugar, salt, preservatives, colours and flavours and 100% full of yum!

Is 4Legs made in Australia?

You better believe it. 4Legs is proudly 100% Australian-made and owned.

All products contain 100% real Australian meat from human-grade sources and major local suppliers such as Inghams and Baiada. We always use Australian, local ingredients where quantities are available; at the absolute minimum, all our ingredients are 85% Australian.

Is 4Legs suitable for dogs with sensitive stomachs?

We do not make a product specifically for food intolerances or allergies, but many of our customers who have dogs with sensitive tummies often report good results.

Our food is natural, minimally processed and free from colours, flavours and preservatives.

You can read many positive reviews and experiences here on our website.

What does ‘wellness boost’ mean?

Our current range includes two powerful Wellness Boosts created to support your dog’s wellbeing.

These combine a blend of natural botanicals clinically proven to support wellbeing at all life stages.

Along with a balanced diet full of natural fresh ingredients, regular health checks, physical exercise and human interaction, quality supplementation can support vitality and prevent age-related disease.

Which 4Legs product is best for my dog?

Our 870g Natural Wellness and 1.3kg Natural Gourmet ranges are formulated for dogs of all sizes, including small, medium and large at all life stages.

Our Natural Slow Cooked 250g range has been formulated for adult dogs and can also be fed to puppies at a ratio of 25% 4Legs to 75% breed-specific puppy kibble.

We have a feeding guide based on the weight of your dog available please refer to “Our Range” on the website

The feeding guide is intended as a rough guide for feeding 4Legs daily. This guide does not take into account other products you may be using. It is important to remember that like humans, dogs (even of the same size and breed) may metabolise their food differently. For this reason, we cannot guarantee this guide will suit your dog. Please monitor your dog’s weight and adjust the feeding amount accordingly. If you are unsure, we suggest you see your vet and they will be able to help.

When do I switch my dog from puppy to adult 4Legs dog food?

Puppies are ready to be gradually transitioned to adult food once they reach about 80% of their expected mature (adult) body weight.

Small dogs grow faster than larger dogs, so small dogs will reach 80% of their mature weight and be ready to be weaned onto adult dog food at a younger age than large dogs.  The following is a guide to the approximate age at which different types of dogs should be gradually transitioned to adult dog food (this is best done gradually over a period of about a month by blending increasing quantities of adult food with the puppy food).

Expected Adult Body Weight Age of Transition to Adult Food
Less than 5kg 7 months +
5kg to 25kg 12 months +
25kg to 50kg 18 months +

The above is intended as a rough guide.  Please contact us if you need more specific information regarding your puppy.

Can I freeze 4Legs?

Absolutely!

Because our food is 100% preservative-free, please follow the following storage and handling guidelines to ensure your 4Legs remains fresh and tasty.

Freezing 4Legs:

If you don’t think you will use a pack of 4Legs within three days, freezing them in portion sizes is a great option. This helps reduce waste and defrosting time.

To defrost:

Move the portion into your fridge the night before serving, or defrost in your microwave using the appropriate setting.

Please note: While frozen foods can remain safe indefinitely when the freezer temperature is set at -18ºC or lower, we recommend 3-4 months as the maximum freezing time to maintain the quality of 4Legs products in a household freezer.

Can 4Legs help my dog lose weight?

A “diet” or “light” food is not always necessary for your dog to lose weight. For many pets, feeding the calories required to maintain the ideal weight (rather than the current weight) will result in gradual weight loss over time.

If you require assistance determining your dog’s required daily calorie intake and portion size, please get in touch with us via helpdesk@4legs.com.au

Someone told me garlic is bad for dogs. Is this true?

There is a lot of conflicting information online about garlic and how it can harm dogs.

We include garlic in our products because it is tasty and has various health benefits (in small doses).

Our food has been developed in conjunction with vets and animal nutritionists. Here’s what they have to say about dogs and garlic.

Our Vet, Dr Felicity, says…

“The level of garlic used in 4Legs is so low that a dog would have to eat twice its body weight of 4Legs in one sitting before the level of garlic consumed would be considered a concern!

At our recommended feeding rate of 200g for a 5kg dog, the dose of garlic would be no more than 80mg per dog per day. This level of garlic is considered to be very low. It would be impossible for a dog to consume enough of our food daily to receive a toxic dose of garlic.

There are benefits to adding garlic to our food. For example, garlic contains a natural chemical called Allicin, an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from developing resistance. Allicin positively affects the gastrointestinal system and is beneficial for the immune system.

I have a blown/expanded packet. What do I do?

Our food is packed in modified atmosphere packaging and should only go off after its use-by date as long as the packaging is intact and the product has been handled correctly.

Unfortunately, there are rare occasions where packaging is compromised or the product is improperly refrigerated. This can occur during transport or in the supermarket.

When a packet’s tight vacuum seal is compromised (blows up), it indicates that the food inside is going off.

We always recommend checking your pack is slightly sucked in before purchase.

Please contact us if you are concerned with one of our products. We take great care to ensure their quality and stand by them with a 100% money-back guarantee.
