Ivory Coat
A competent grain-free all-rounder, but it's mid-pack on every measure and now sits inside a big multi-brand portfolio where recipes have moved with ownership. Fine if the price is right on the day — just don't expect it to out-spec a more focused independent brand.
Australian grain-free and grain-inclusive ranges with a tidy ingredient story, but it doesn't lead on a single metric — middling on ingredients, transparency and value alike. Now part of a large multi-brand group (Real Pet Food Company) after changing hands, and recipes have shifted with ownership, so consistency is a fair question. Acceptable, not a standout.

Alternatives to Ivory Coat
Premium · Good
Fine on a discounted big bag if you choose a named-meat-first recipe, but don't assume the whole range is equal — the cheaper lines pad the panel with grain and rice, and a chunk of the price is reach and marketing rather than ingredients. Compare the specific formula on cost per kg against SavourLife and Ivory Coat.
Premium · Good
Fair value and the rescue donations are real, not greenwash — but the food itself is good rather than exceptional, with mid-premium panels and a narrow range. Buy it because the per-kg value stacks up, not because the cause makes the ingredients better than they are.
Premium · Good
A capable single-protein option for elimination diets, and the labels are honest. But the rolls especially carry a steep price per kg for what is a deliberately simple recipe, and the range spread across formats muddies value — price the dry against the rolls per serve before you settle on one.
