Frequently Asked Questions

What are the ingredients used to make Optimum pet food?

Optimum food offers a complete and balanced diet, tailored to meet the nutritional requirements of your cat or dog without the need for any additional supplements.

The cat food range has a higher protein ratio, as cats are obligate carnivores. Your cat will love tasty chicken or ocean fish. While some products contain small amounts of cereal products, there are grain-free options.

The dog food range offers a broader mix of premium ingredients, including more grains and vegetables. Proteins include chicken, salmon, beef and eggs.

Where is Optimum dog and cat food made?

All the products in Optimum's range are made in Bathurst NSW and Wodonga VIC in regional Australia from quality ingredients.

How much should I feed my pet?

How much to feed your pet depends on age, weight and activity level. Optimum makes feeding easy with tables on the back of the packaging. If you have concerns about how much you are feeding your cat or dog, then talk to your vet.

Who makes Optimum?

Optimum is a subsidiary of the Mars group and is developed with nutritionists and vets from the world renowned Waltham Petcare Science Institute.

How do I change my pet’s food over to Optimum?

People change their pets’ food from one brand to another for a variety of reasons. Feeding Optimum ensures you are giving your cat or dog a complete food via a single product, which makes proper nutrition easy.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Fussy eaters may refuse a totally new food. Even those who will usually eat anything put in front of them may experience digestive upsets if you change over too suddenly. So make it a gradual process by incorporating increasing portions of your chosen Optimum pet food to their existing food. That way, both their taste buds and digestive systems have a chance to adjust without any upsets!

What’s the best pet food storage?

Optimum dry food comes in resealable packaging, and is best kept in the bag. However, to guard against a determined cat or dog, you can keep the bag in a lidded pet food storage container that is air tight.

Many of the wet food products come in resealable packs too, and should be refrigerated once opened. Try to use them within a day or so, and make sure to keep your pet’s dishes clean.
