who we are
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. Today three of Tony’s children (and a myriad of four-legged family members) have joined Tony in the business. Such is their passion for crafting delicious, nutritious and auspicious food for their furry friends.
“We have a simple philosophy,” explains Tony. “We believe dogs thrive on a diet full of fresh meat and vegetables, an appropriate amount of healthy grains and essential vitamins and minerals – that’s it. (Oh and some belly rubs and nose kisses for good measure). So, all our products are 100% preservative free and without added salt, sugar or colours and flavours.”

OUR DOG CUSTOMERS
Our loyal dog customers range from the old to the young, the biggest to the smallest, the rowdiest to the shyest, the fussiest to the ‘if it’s in my bowl it’s in my belly-est,’ the couch potatoes to the athletes, the divas to the knock-abouts, the allergic to the cast iron stomachs, the swimmers to the sunbakers and the selective hearers to the ‘I can hear a 4Legs packet open from ten streets away.’
They inspire us, they amuse us and most of all they make us determined to deliver on our mantra day after day.

nutrition and wellness
Along with a balanced diet full of natural, fresh ingredients, regular health checks, physical exercise, and human interaction, quality supplementation can support vitality and assist in preventing age-related diseases.
One supplement we use is ProAgeTM. It’s not just a supplement; it promises your dog a longer, healthier, and happier life. By combining natural plants and extracts, ProAgeTM actively combats the effects of aging, ensuring your dog lives a longer, healthier, and happier life!
As dogs age, numerous metabolic and physiological changes occur, including oxidation and inflammation, these can create issues, including joint pain, cognitive decline, and a decrease in immune function.
Early preventative nutrition containing protective ingredients can help limit the development of age-related disorders and ensure the healthy aging of pets.
Pro’Age contains a unique combination of Curcuma, cloves, rosemary, and grapefruit extract. It is rich in hydro- and liposoluble antioxidants, including polyphenols, that help protect cells from oxidation and inflammation.
