About this brand
Real Pet Food Company brand built around Australian and New Zealand regional proteins, sold as six kibbles and ten wet recipes. The kibble is made in Australia at RPFC's NSW facilities; the wet range is split, with the four bone-broth cans and the Farm Raised Chicken pâté made in Australia and the remaining pâtés and mousses made in New Zealand. 'Meats, water, and grass' three-pillar positioning.

The food
Obligate carnivore lens
The dry recipes lead with named regional proteins (Kangaroo Meat in the Kangaroo recipe; Salmon Meat in Salmon; Beef Meat in Beef; Barramundi Meat in Barramundi) but Pea Protein appears in positions 2 to 4 across every dry SKU, with Peas and Lentils close behind. Fails the strict lens because of the pea protein isolate placement on every dry recipe.
Pragmatic lens
AAFCO Adult Maintenance with regional AU/NZ proteins and no corn, wheat, soy, or synthetic colours; the legume and pea protein load is not strictly disqualifying within the framework.
Pros
Named regional proteins lead each dry recipe (Kangaroo, Salmon, Beef, Barramundi), AU and NZ regional manufacturing, no corn/wheat/soy/synthetic colours, freeze-dried lamb pieces in the dry recipes add a meaningful animal-content uplift over standard grain-free kibble, wet bone-broth recipes use chicken bone broth as a genuine animal-derived liquid base.
Cons
Pea Protein at position 2 to 4 across every dry SKU contradicts the regional-protein-led marketing framing, peas and lentils compound the plant load, 'Beef Pulp' appears on one kibble's panel (apparent typo for beet pulp worth flagging to the manufacturer).
Recommendation
Suits households that want AU and NZ regional proteins and where pea protein in the dry recipes is not a hard line. The wet bone-broth recipes are the cleaner option for households that want to skip the pea and lentil load; the freeze-dried lamb pieces in the dry recipes are a genuine value-add over standard extruded grain-free kibble at the mid-premium price band.
Distinctive ingredients
Pea Protein. A plant-protein isolate concentrated from peas, listed at position two to four on every kibble. It raises the crude-protein figure without adding animal protein and is the reason the range fails the strict-carnivore lens, the same pattern seen on ownership sibling Ivory Coat.
Freeze Dried Lamb. Real animal content that survives processing better than a rendered meal. It appears in the four '+ Freeze Dried Lamb' kibbles, mid-list, lifting animal content without leading the recipe. The two Essentials Complete Prey kibbles do not carry it.
Chicken Bone Broth. The base of the four 'in Bone Broth' cans, listed first. It is a genuine animal-derived liquid rather than plain added water, a point in the wet range's favour, though it also means the headline protein is diluted by broth.
Digest. A palatant made from broken-down animal tissue, sprayed on the kibble for taste. Trilogy lists it unnamed rather than naming the species, which fires this site's Animal Digest screen.
Alfalfa. A botanical legume, so it fires this site's Legumes screen wherever it appears. In the wet cans it is the only legume present, a minor late-list inclusion, so the Legumes pill on the wet range reflects alfalfa rather than the peas and lentils that drive it on the kibble.
Beet Pulp. A fibre source left after sugar is extracted from beet. One kibble spells it 'Beef Pulp' on its panel, which reads as a typo rather than a different ingredient; we mirror the packaging text and flag it rather than silently correct it.
The claims, checked
“Regional proteins lead every recipe”
The named protein does lead each kibble by weight (Kangaroo, Beef, Salmon or Barramundi Meat), but Pea Protein sits at position two or four on all six dry recipes, with peas and lentils close behind. That plant protein lifts the headline crude-protein figure without adding animal protein, so the label number reads higher than the animal share alone supports.
“Meats, water and grass”
A fair shorthand for the wet cans rather than the whole brand. The bone-broth recipes are meat-and-broth builds with alfalfa the only grass, while the kibble also carries peas, lentils, tapioca and pea protein that the three-word slogan does not cover.
“Made in Australia and New Zealand”
Both countries are involved, but not the way the pack split implies. All six kibbles and five of the ten wet recipes are Australian-made at RPFC's NSW plants; the other pâtés and the mousses are New Zealand-made. The freeze-dried lamb is a New Zealand-sourced ingredient inside Australian-made kibble, not a separate New Zealand treat.
“Grain free”
Accurate. No grains appear on any of the sixteen recipes and none fire this site's Grains screen. Grains are replaced by peas, lentils and tapioca, so grain-free here means legume-forward rather than low in plant matter.
The numbers in practice
The kibbles list crude protein of 37 to 38 percent and energy of 3,600 kcal per kilogram, standard for grain-free dry cat food. Trilogy states moisture on only one product in the whole range, so this site publishes no dry-matter figure for the kibble; read the 37 to 38 percent as-fed, and note that peas and pea protein lift it with plant protein cats use less completely than animal protein.
The wet recipes list crude protein of 6 to 12 percent as-fed, low-looking next to the kibble but a reflection of their water content, which cannot be lined up against a dry number without adjusting for moisture. The Farm Raised Chicken pâté is the exception, the only Trilogy product with stated moisture (78 percent), so it is the single recipe this site puts on a dry-matter basis; the bone broths and mousses stay as-fed. Wet energy runs from about 480 to 1,580 kcal per kilogram, so a can carries a fraction of the calories of the same weight of kibble.

Compare with
Because canned is Trilogy's primary format, ten of its sixteen products, the catalogue ranks it against wet ranges rather than kibble: Tiki Cat, Applaws and Feline Natural. Among those its stronger options are the four 'in Bone Broth' cans, which lead with chicken bone broth rather than added water and name their proteins. They carry tapioca starch and guar gum that the pâtés in this group skip, and only half the wet line is Australian-made, the rest coming from New Zealand. The kibble sits outside this cohort and competes with the grain-free dry field, closest to its ownership sibling Ivory Coat.
