Best dog food Australia: Owners say Lyka is ‘the best’ for a healthy coat, teeth and joints

If you’ve noticed your dog licking or scratching more than usual, their food could be the reason why.

Our furry friends often have sensitive stomachs, which can make knowing what to feed them feel like a never-ending challenge.

That’s why more Aussies are ditching kibble in favour of a fresher, more nutritious option to help keep their pets happy and healthy.

Lyka, Australia’s leading fresh dog food brand, uses AAFCO-compliant, human-grade ingredients, free from fillers and preservatives.

Owners can create a personalised meal plan tailored to their dog’s age, breed, weight and health needs, with the option to target specific benefits like gut health, coat quality and joint support.

Lyka customers consistently report firmer poos, calmer skin, fresher breath, glossier coats and even more energy among their furry friends.

“After just a few weeks on Lyka, it was exciting to see that Snoopy Girl was pooping three well-formed, perfect poops every day, and her stomach had stopped gurgling,” writes one Lyka user.

Another adds: “Buddy’s improvement was huge after just one month on Lyka. No more itching. His coat got smooth, soft and shiny. It’s been the best thing for him!”

Lyka was founded when dog-mum Anna discovered that her Border Collie’s premium kibble was full of poor-quality, unregulated ingredients.

On a mission to improve the quality of food, she began cooking fresh meals from scratch and noticed almost immediate results: more energy, less itching and healthier teeth.

With the help of a veterinarian, Lyka provides locally sourced, gently cooked fresh meals that deliver real, measurable health outcomes for every pup.

Stats show that a whopping 90 per cent of dogs over five have joint issues, while 80 per cent have dental disease, and 40 per cent are overweight.

Yet by implementing a Lyka diet, owners can also experience serious change.

Placing an order with Lyka is incredibly straightforward, offering a much more tailored approach compared to traditional kibble and processed alternatives.

Start by sharing your pup’s name, breed, sex, weight, body shape, plus any health or stool concerns, then choose from tasty beef, chicken, kangaroo, lamb, or turkey meals.

Each order is delivered straight to your door, fresh and ready to eat.

You can cancel future orders anytime, control your delivery date and window, and even edit your chosen meal plan online.

With thousands of rave reviews from pet owners across the country, many pups are now enjoying Lyka as their everyday meal.

Noticeable changes include a glossier coat, fresher breath, and even higher energy levels.

“I placed an order with Lyka and the results were immediate. Fussy Kira dived right in, licking the bowl clean, and Nala stopped itching – it’s been such an incredible change,” writes one shopper.

“I was really impressed with Lyka’s quality ingredients and catering to Louie’s IBD. I was sceptical, but to my surprise Louie scoffed down his first Lyka bowl. The rest is history,” another adds.

“Freddie was on a raw diet and suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea. I signed up for Lyka on recommendation from my vet and haven’t looked back – he loved it from day one,” a third wrote.
