Eukanuba
Eukanuba is a long-running premium dry dog food brand, founded by Paul Iams and now part of the Mars Petcare family. Its Australian dry range is made locally in Bathurst, NSW, and is organised around breed size and life stage, with dedicated Puppy, Adult, Senior and Premium Performance lines plus breed-specific recipes. The recipes lean on animal proteins like chicken and turkey alongside grains such as maize, wheat and barley, with added DHA, fish oil and prebiotics. It sits in the science-led, vet-channel-friendly tier rather than the boutique grain-free space.
