Picky Eater
Australian Shepherds can develop strong food preferences and often favor food with the flavour of real ingredients.

Skin and paw irritation is common in Australian Shepherds and is frequently tied to food allergens and low-quality protein sources.
Arthritis & Joint Pain
Their highly active bodies put ongoing stress on joints, making hip issues and early-onset joint pain common as Australian Shepherds age.

Visible Health Wins“I might be crazy but his eyes don't have any goop. His poops are smaller and less frequent. He seems satisfied after eating his food.”
Senior Vitality“Our 15 yr old chihuahua lost interest in eating. We took her to the vet, but her health was fine. We then tried Tom&Sawyer and she does her happy dance whenever it's meal time. She has a lot more energy and is definitely thriving.”

Common Questions About Fresh Dog Food for Australian Shepherds
What protein sources are best for Australian Shepherds?
Suitable protein options for Australian Shepherds may include high-quality, named animal proteins, chicken, beef, turkey, or fish. For Australian Shepherds prone to picky eating a single-protein or limited ingredient recipe can help identify and avoid triggers. Tom&Sawyer uses human grade meat in every recipe, with no byproducts or mystery proteins.
What is human grade dog food and why does it matter for Australian Shepherds?
Human grade dog food means every ingredient meets the same safety and quality standards as food made for people. For Australian Shepherds, this matters because it avoids the low-quality byproducts and fillers found in most commercial pet food. Tom&Sawyer prepares all meals in a human grade kitchen in Canada, regulated to AAFCO standards.
How much should I feed my Australian Shepherd per day?
Australian Shepherd feeding amounts depend on their weight, age, and activity level. As a general guide, most Australian Shepherds do well with two meals per day, morning and evening. Use the Tom&Sawyer Feeding Calculator to get a portion size tailored specifically to your dog.
