One of the questions we’re asked most often is: “What do you feed your dogs?”
At Shimmy Downs Kelpies, healthy, high-performing dogs are everything—they’re our partners, our family, and our pride. That’s why we feed them Cobber Puppy when they’re growing and transition to Cobber Working Dog or other appropriate formulas as they age. As proud Cobber Ambassadors, we love sharing what works for us—and why.
The Cobber Difference
Cobber isn’t just dog food—it’s fuel with purpose. Their signature “Inner Goodness” formula combines:
Postbiotics – to support digestion and immune strength
Vitamins & Minerals – for balanced nutrition and wellbeing
Functional Fibres – for gut health and efficient nutrient absorption
Because when your dog is healthy on the inside, you see it on the outside—in their coat, energy, stamina, and overall vitality.
