Here are Australian-available dog-food brands known for high‑protein formulas (short notes + example protein levels where available). I’ve included links to manufacturer/retailer pages for the most important claims.

• Orijen (Champion Petfoods) — premium, “biologically appropriate” high‑meat recipes. Many Orijen kibbles list ~38% crude protein (some formulas higher). (mypetland.com.au)

• Acana — sibling brand to Orijen with many high‑protein, meat‑forward recipes (many labelled “high‑protein”; typical guaranteed protein ~31%+ on several formulas). (intl.Acana.com)

• Black Hawk (Australian) — range includes grain‑free and “working dog” formulas advertised with high protein (examples: Working Dog ~32% protein; grain‑free salmon ~28% protein). (blackhawkpetcare.com.au)

• K9 Natural (New Zealand brand widely sold in Australia) — freeze‑dried and canned ranges with very high meat content; core recipes often list ~38%+ protein (some products advertised as 90% meat). (au.k9natural.com)

• ZiwiPeak (New Zealand) — air‑dried and canned formulas with high meat inclusion; marketed as high‑meat, nutrient‑dense diets (see product pages for specific analyses). (petology.com.au)

• Prime100 (Australian) — premium single‑protein and functional diets (some “single protein” rolls and fresh/air‑dried lines with high protein options; some SPD™ formulas list ~38% protein). (Prime100.com.au)

• Ivory Coat (Australian) — offers grain‑free and high‑meat recipes marketed for lean muscle maintenance (check each recipe’s guaranteed analysis for percent protein). (justforpets.com.au)

Notes and tips

• “High‑protein” isn’t defined uniformly — check the Guaranteed Analysis (crude protein % on pack or product page) for each specific formula before buying. If you want numbers, look for formulas with crude protein ≥30% for dry kibbles (many premium high‑protein kibbles sit 30–40%+). (mypetland.com.au)
• Very high‑protein diets aren’t right for every dog (puppies, seniors, renal disease, and some medical conditions need tailored diets). If you’re switching or want a high‑protein plan for performance/working dogs, consult your vet or a veterinary nutritionist.
• If you’d like, I can: (a) compare protein percentages for 4–6 specific formulas you’re considering, or (b) suggest high‑protein options by budget (premium vs mid‑range). Which would you prefer?
