Here are Australian / Australia-sold dog food brands that advertise recipes where real meat (fresh meat, meat meal, or a named meat) is the first ingredient. I’ve listed the brand, the claim/ingredient style, and a supporting source.

• Black Hawk — advertises recipes with fresh/Australian meat as the first ingredient (e.g., “meat as the first ingredient” / “Australian chicken is the number 1 ingredient”). (blackhawkpetcare.com.au)

• Ivory Coat — states “Aussie meat is our #1 ingredient” and highlights Australian-sourced meat as the primary ingredient. (ivorycoat.com.au)

• Ziwi / ZiwiPeak — air‑dried and canned recipes list fresh meat/organs/bone among the top ingredients (they state 90%+ meat/organs/bone in air‑dried formulas and the first ingredients are meat/organs). (ziwipetfood.com.au)

• K9 Natural — freeze‑dried recipes show whole meat and organs (e.g., “Lamb, Lamb Liver…” as top ingredients) and market themselves as high‑meat first. (myrainbowpets.com.au)

Other brands commonly available in Australia that often put a named meat or meat meal high in the ingredient list (but check specific recipes/labels because formulations vary by flavor):

• Hill’s Science Diet / Hill’s Prescription — some formulas list a named meat or meat meal first, but it depends on the exact product. (Check the specific label.) (ziwipetfood.com.au)
• Many specialist/“high meat” or grain‑free lines (including some lines from boutique and Australian manufacturers) explicitly market “real meat first” on particular recipes — always confirm on the bag or the brand’s ingredient list for that flavor. (blackhawkpetcare.com)

Notes and tips:

• Ingredient order is recipe-specific. A brand may have some recipes with meat first and other recipes where a meat meal or plant ingredient is first. Always check the specific product’s ingredient list on pack or the brand’s product page.
• “Real meat first” can mean fresh meat (chicken, lamb, beef) or a named meat meal (e.g., “chicken meal”). Both are common; if you prefer fresh whole‑meat at the top, look for recipes that list fresh meat (e.g., “chicken,” “lamb”) rather than unspecified “meat and bone” or “meat meal.”
• If you’d like, I can check one or two specific products/flavors and confirm the exact first ingredient and provide the ingredient line for each.
