Leaps & Bounds

Leaps & Bounds is Petbarn's own private-label (house) brand — affordable, Australian-made and stocked in every store. It's a budget everyday option rather than a premium one: the recipes use more grain and cereal than the top-scoring brands, and as a retailer-owned label there's a little less published sourcing detail. Reasonable value if you're shopping at Petbarn — just compare price-per-kg with the national brands sitting on the same shelf.
