Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain Dog Food Review

 Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain is a Costco brand but it’s actually made by Diamond pet foods who make Taste of the Wild. They’re a big company and produce decent foods, so it’s nice to see this available in Australia for a very reasonable price. It’s also available from FairDinks.com.au for those who don’t live near a Costco store (i.e. the whole of WA).

The main ingredient is salmon meal which will be the main source of protein in the food, although peas and ocean fish meal will contribute to this as well. It’s nice to see a decent fish meal as the main ingredient, which is the makings of a decent food.


Sweet potatoes are the second ingredient, with more potato as the 4th ingredient. Potato isn’t a bad inclusion although it does make this food potato-heavy with a protein percentage of 24%. It’s only a minor gripe. which is counteracted by the amount of fruits, veggies, vitamins, and minerals in the food. We also find flaxseed which is a nice inclusion for healthy skin and coat.

All in all this is a nice, well-balanced food for a good price. Recommended.

In regard to some of the comments on this page I’ve decided to give a breakdown of the vitamins and minerals included in Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain to clarify the reason they’re included:


    Iron Proteinate – An excellent (and expensive) source of iron for red blood cell reproduction.

    Zinc Proteinate – An excellent souce of zinc, which protects against free radicals. It’s essential to insulin formation and the immune system.
