Stay Loyal
Australian direct-to-consumer brand built around grain-free, multi-protein formulas and unusually open about what goes in the bag. The food is genuinely solid and the subscription brings the per-kg cost down, but it is sold almost entirely online, so you won't find it on most shelves. Worth a look if you're happy to buy direct.

Chicken Meal
Protein
0%
This is Stay Loyal's flagship grain-free dry food and the best-value way to buy it, scoring 76/100 on the strength of a genuinely meat-first recipe. The standout is the triple-meat base (chicken, lamb and fish) delivering 32% minimum protein in a 15kg bag that works out to one of the lower per-kilo prices in the premium grain-free bracket.

Chicken Meal
Protein
0%
The 3kg bag of Stay Loyal's signature Chicken, Lamb & Fish recipe is the low-risk way to trial the brand, scoring 73/100. The standout is that you get the exact same meat-first, grain-free formula as the big bag in a size that fits a small dog or a taste test without committing to 15kg.

First ingredient
Turkey Meal
Protein
0%
Stay Loyal's second recipe swaps chicken for a salmon, turkey and pork blend, and the 8kg mid-size bag scores 75/100. The standout is that it is a poultry-alternative, fish-forward option for dogs that do better away from chicken, with a notably small 8mm kibble.

Turkey Meal
Protein

The 3kg Salmon, Turkey & Pork bag is the trial size of Stay Loyal's fish-forward recipe, scoring 72/100. The standout is that it lets you test a chicken-free, small-kibble option on a sensitive dog before buying in bulk.

Chicken Meal
Protein

This is Stay Loyal's purpose-built formula for large and giant breed puppies, scoring 74/100. The standout is the controlled calcium and phosphorus balance aimed at slow, steady growth, which is exactly what big-breed pups need rather than the rapid growth a richer adult food can cause.

Kangaroo Meat

Chicken Thigh
Protein
0%
These grain-free biscuit treats pair dog-safe carob chips with real chicken thigh, scoring 70/100. The standout is how meat-heavy a cookie they are, built on around 85% chicken thigh rather than the flour-and-filler base of most biscuit treats.
