Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning
Ivory Coat and Providore offer two different approaches to the Australian cat food market. Ivory Coat is produced at the Real Pet Food Co. Dubbo NSW facility, which was subject to a 2023 chemical spill and a 2025 NSW EPA enforceable undertaking requiring AUD$1.3 million in safety upgrades. Providore is a retailer private label, so the manufacturer may change between production runs, which means ingredient sourcing and exact composition can vary over time. The two brands differ in several ways beyond the one point highlighted here.
Ivory Coat is marketed on 100 percent Australian meat as the primary ingredient across grain-free kibble and pouch formats. It started in 2013 as a natural pet shampoo line by Steven Devereaux-Stanford before expanding into kibble and being acquired by Real Pet Food Company in 2017.
Providore is designed specifically to undercut Ziwi Peak on shelf price while mirroring format and packaging cues.
