We’ve been listening to your feedback, and we’re thrilled to announce tasty improvements to four SPD™ Slow Cooked recipes.
We’ve enhanced the texture and formulation of select SPD™ Slow Cooked diets to make mealtime even more enjoyable for your dog. Here's what to expect:
Nutrient-dense superfood that provides a rich source of protein, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre.
Easier serving and a more appealing look with less broth.
Quinoa is a gluten-free seed commonly mistaken for a grain. It's a highly nutritious superfood, offering a source of protein, carbohydrates, essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre, making it a beneficial ingredient to your dog's diet.
To promote digestive health and maintain a diverse gut microbiota for overall well-being.
A hypoallergenic and gluten-free alternative to traditional grains.
Essential for a balanced diet, providing a primary energy source for efficient cell function.
We've made a small but meaningful improvement by adding quinoa at a low inclusion rate of around 4%. Here's how the updated formulas compare.
We’ve made mealtime even better, but our commitment to quality hasn’t changed. You can still expect 100% Australian-made, Single Protein Diets crafted with care. Plus, all on-pack claims and product suitability remain exactly the same.
Look for our 'Improved Formula - Now with Quinoa' icon on updated recipes over the next three months. This label means you're getting the enhanced recipe.
FAQs
We made improvements to the SPD™ Slow Cooked Puppy Lamb & Blueberry, SPD™ Slow Cooked Lamb & Rosemary, SPD™ Slow Cooked Salmon & Pumpkin, and SPD™ Slow Cooked Duck & Sweet Potato recipes to improve digestibility and texture in response to feedback from pet parents that these recipes contained too much broth.
Our recipes that already include quinoa did not receive the same feedback, so we focused on enhancing only these four proteins.
No, all product claims and suitability remain unchanged. If you have specific health concerns about your dog's diet, please consult your veterinarian.

Not at all! Quinoa is included at a low rate (around 4%) specifically to improve the texture and consistency of our recipes. Unlike other common ingredients found in pet food that are considered “fillers”, quinoa offers real nutritional benefits, including protein, fibre, carbohydrates and essential vitamins and minerals. Its inclusion aligns with our ingredients with purpose philosophy where every ingredient has a specific benefit for dogs.
Carbohydrates are vital in a balanced diet, serving as a primary source of energy for the body. They play a key role in energy metabolism, ensuring that cells function efficiently.
Additionally, carbohydrates contribute to gastrointestinal health by supporting a diverse gut microbiota, which is crucial for digestion and overall well-being.
Quinoa is considered a "complex carbohydrate," meaning it provides a richer source of nutrients compared to simple carbohydrates.
No, there have been no changes to the SPD™ Fresh Rolls.
Quinoa has always been part of the recipe in many of our SPD™ Slow Cooked diets. We've added quinoa to a few more favourites with our recent improvements.
