The Question

“Dear Dr. Paola,

I have a Newborn Australian Terrier named Honorable Maxamillion Alexander the Great Good, 2nd. We want to learn, compare, and research all the human-grade fresh food, human-quality vet-approved recipes. We want wholegrains (possibly limited grains), vegetables, some allowable fruits, and totally human-grade training treats. We
are trying to determine the very best of organizations, for example, The Farmer’s Dog, Pet Plate, Ollie’s, The Pet Table, NomNom, all of them, to learn about before deciding.” – Bonnie

Hi Bonnie!

Congratulations on welcoming Honorable Maxamillion Alexander the Great Good, 2nd, into your family! Australian Terriers are spirited and intelligent companions, and starting him on a wholesome, human-grade diet is a wise choice. This is great to hear, as I personally think in 2025, fresh, complete, and balanced diets are the best option out there. I love how these recipes are quite simplified in comparison with most of the common dry or wet foods. By using limited ingredients and focusing on high-quality, digestible protein sources such as turkey, lamb, or fish as well as less processed ingredients, you will be giving Honorable Maxamillion Alexander the Great Good, 2nd, an advantage for digestive and overall health.

Regardless of the brand you choose, it’s always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian to ensure the selected diet aligns with Maxamillion’s specific health needs.

Bon appétit!
