What some of our canine friend are saying about our Turkey food:
I used to suffer from itchy skin, dandruff, and hot spots, but the day Mum switched me from kibble to Bugsy’s Turkey Air-Dried Food, everything changed! She said this food is really good for me and since switching, all my itchiness have disappeared, and Mum’s thrilled that I’m feeling so much better. This air-dried turkey isn’t just delicious—it’s gentle on my stomach and easy to digest. Mum chose it to help me manage my weight, and the high protein keeps me full and content until my next meal. I absolutely love this! Woof Woof!
She says this food will keep me bouncing around happily for years to come!
Turkey is one of the most nutritionally impressive proteins available for dogs. It's leaner than chicken, richer in tryptophan — the amino acid that supports serotonin and calm behaviour — and cooling in food energetics, making it the go-to protein for dogs that run hot, struggle with skin flare-ups, or can't tolerate chicken. Bugsy's Air-Dried Turkey is made from 98% prime-cut Australian turkey — muscle, bones and organs — sourced from Australian farms and air-dried in Melbourne with the same care as the food on your plate.
If your dog has developed sensitivities to chicken, this is often the first protein worth trying. And it's a beautifully lean, high-protein whole food that's brilliant for any healthy dog who just wants to try something different.
What pet nutritionists say
Pet nutritionists consistently highlight turkey as one of the most overlooked proteins in canine diets. It's the richest natural source of tryptophan of any common meat — the amino acid that drives serotonin and melatonin production — leaner than chicken with a higher protein concentration, and cooling in food energetics. That combination makes it particularly well-suited to dogs that run hot, carry chronic inflammation, or have developed sensitivities to chicken or beef.
Key benefits
Chicken & beef alternative — different protein structure; often tolerated by dogs sensitive to either
Tryptophan-rich — supports serotonin production, calm behaviour and better sleep
Lean and high-protein — 59% protein minimum, lower fat than chicken or beef
Cooling in food energetics — ideal for hot-natured, itchy or inflamed dogs
Zero synthetic vitamins — every nutrient comes from whole food, not a lab
Green lipped mussel & flaxseed oil — natural joint support and omega-3 for skin and coat
Organic kelp & maitake mushroom — natural iodine, B vitamins and immune support

My two dogs love their Bugsy’s treats. My Daschund Esther is 14 and has “Catch me if you can” * Zoey our 12 month old Cavoodle has “Running Wild”. They also love “Moo Moo” & “Fish Nibbles”. I stocked up so that we won’t run out! Very happy with these products.”

Big Boy had them years ago for training and we kept going with them all this time - we can't say enough about Bugsy's Treats. They're a quality treat, quality company and quality service. I love being a customer of such a great business. Thanks guys!

Our Abby LOVES Bugsy's Air Dried Beef Formula - much much more than the 'competitor' brand we used to buy before we discovered Bugsy's. Now, She literally comes running into the kitchens and starts tap dancing every time she hears the Bugsy's bag open! I feel confident feeding her this every day because she digests it beautifully and, unlike other options you see out there, there's absolutely no nasties. Thanks so much Bugsy's!

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?! Molly has a paw shake for everyone when the Bugsy's treats come out... she just adores them! She just adores them and I am happy knowing hoe good they are for her!
Jen P
These treats are highly prized in our house! Mabel and George know they've both been good doggies when they get them. They go crazy for crispy chicken! They absolutely love it - spins, shake hands and paws up all done without asking for some of these treats! That's how yummy they are!

Our boy Jasper loves Bugsy! He had always struggled with his weight but after making the shift he has gone from 23kg down to a stable 16kg. This has made him a lot more energetic and happier. This air dried formula along with the other flavours are nice small pieces which is perfect as training treats. The food also doesn't smell like regular kibble and leave less of a powder residue and smell when handling it. We are getting a puppy soon and will definitely be feeding her Bugsy.
My dog is very fussy eater and we have tried so many other dried foods and kibbles she will just turn her head away however so far she has never rejected turkey from Bugsy and we are on our third orders :)
Yoda can be such a fussy eater, so finding something he actually gets excited about is always a win 🤎
The Bugsy Turkey Air-Dried has been such an easy option for us. He loves the taste, I love that it’s convenient to serve, and it’s also really handy to pack when we’re travelling or out for the day.
Definitely one we’ll be keeping in Yoda’s food rotation 🐾
Charlie is on a raw diet, and we’ve been using Bugsy’s Air-Dried Turkey as treats. He absolutely loves them! They’re a great little reward for him, and he gets so excited whenever he sees the bag. 🐾❤️
Bessie and Paddy love all their Bugsy food and treats. Three year old Paddy likes the Kangaroo food and our fifteen year old Bessie the Turkey. They both love the Moo Moo.
Loving the turkey air dried, as you can see in the pic, empty bowl, not moving far away in the hope of more. Love that it can be used as a quality treat or as a meal.
My fussy iggy pup and even fussier whippet both love this food. I use it as treats as well as a meal and a topper and they never refuse it. I'm a repeat customer and have been for quite some time now. T
Based on the empty bowls these 2 experts give Bugsy 5 stars, I give it 5 based on their energy, coat, poops, and overall health and wellbeing. It’s been a great addition to their raw diet and the air dried treats are a hit too.
Our dogs favourite! We have tried a number of different air dried food brands and this has been something she always goes back to. 3rd time purchasing as well :)
I have 4 French bulldogs. I had fed them all raw food from a canine nutritionist which they loved however I must say they prefer the Bugsy. My youngest 2 are thriving on it. We love it.
Despite being a selective eater, my JRT absolutely loves it. Soft enough for his senior set of teeth (he has a lot of them removed) & digestion. Will be ordering again!
My dog has IBD and it has always been a challenge to feed him. His symptoms have almost disappeared since we started using the Bugsy single protein food.
My two dogs just love the air dried chicken and the turkey smells good enough for me to eat just wish air dried was t so expensive to be able to feed my dog totally on it as they hate other kibble but never refuse this one
Harry loves Bugsy air dried food and waits at his bowl in the morning giving me the hurry up 😆. He has worked his way through all the proteins and loves them all. I love that they are 100 percent Australian and super healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is turkey meat good for dogs?
Turkey meat for dogs provides animal protein and naturally occurring nutrients. Its overall nutritional value depends on the cut, preparation and complete formulation. Plain turkey should not be confused with seasoned turkey prepared for people, which may contain ingredients unsuitable for dogs.
Can dogs eat turkey dog food every day?
Yes, turkey dog food can be fed every day when the recipe is formulated as complete and balanced for the dog’s relevant life stage. Always follow the feeding guidelines and adjust portions according to your dog’s age, size and activity level.
What is single-protein turkey dog food?
Single-protein dog food uses turkey as its only animal protein source rather than combining several meats. This can simplify the protein sources in a dog’s diet, although suitability for dogs with suspected food sensitivities should be discussed with a veterinarian.
What is the difference between air-dried and turkey dry dog food?
Both have reduced moisture, but processing methods can differ. Conventional turkey dry dog food is often produced using extrusion, while air drying gradually removes moisture. Compare the ingredient list, nutritional adequacy and processing method when deciding between the two.
Can I give my dog turkey jerky?
Turkey jerky for dogs can be offered as an occasional reward when it is specifically prepared for pets. Check the ingredient list for unnecessary additives, choose an appropriate portion for your dog and ensure treats remain supplementary to complete meals.
Can turkey dog treats be used for training?
Yes. Turkey dog treats can be useful as training rewards, particularly when they can be divided into small portions. Keep individual rewards small during repeated training sessions and account for treats as part of your dog’s total daily food intake.
