About Us
K9 Cuisine Ltd is a family owned Raw Pet food Company based in the Waikato of New Zealand. Our aim is to educate and advise pet owners of the many health benefits and advantages raw feeding can provide to their animals.
After many years of feeding commercial processed pet food, speaking to and hearing of the multitude of success stories, I decided to research and investigate the possibilities of raw feeding myself.
Around that time, late 2013, an opportunity presented itself to purchase a small raw pet food business. The owners, at that time, were predominantly feeding their own 6 to 7 dogs, together with several others they had bred.
As an owner of 5 large dogs myself, I saw the great potential in this opportunity, not only to feed my own dogs, but to offer an alternative to other like-minded people, who were interested in a 100% completely natural diet for their companions.
Several years and 1000+ customers later, we, like so many dog and cat owners are convinced, clean shiny coats, sparkling eyes, much more energy, smaller stools, clean teeth, fresh breath, no more allergies or skin irritations, chewing, licking and pulling out fur, red angry rashes, much fewer vet visits and probably one of the most important factors, very affordable! What's not to like?
I hope you enjoy your visit to our website and look forward to meeting many more people who want to make the change to RAW
We started on this journey with our two pups; Cooper & Willow.
Our passion
From a young pup, Willow had constant skin issues; itchy/raw paws, horrendous breath (poor girl – no one likes to date a girl with bad breath, do they!)
At the age of three, Cooper had a significant medical scare – yes, dog cancer and then we also discovered he had arthritis.
We had enough of the constant vet visits, medical bills, trying different premium pet foods and seeing them in discomfort and overweight due to the steroids; we felt like we’d exhausted all apparent avenues. We started doing our homework on the food they were eating and the benefits or lack of benefits, side effects and processing of the food; we had a light bulb moment and realised it was time for a change.
We found Raw Dog Food.
The large dog food companies are so misleading with the information they provide about what’s in their products, how it is processed and any ‘real benefits‘, which greatly concerned us. We started to research raw dog food and spent extensive energy doing so.
We experimented with different raw meats and found as long as it is 100% natural, not processed or cooked, it’s exactly what a dog’s body needs.
We were not concerned as a dog’s body is fully equipped to break down the raw meat and bone. A dog on a fully raw food diet has a very acidic stomach, so the acids are so strong there is little to no risk of consuming bones or unprocessed meat.
The health of our dogs has improved.
We get so many comments when we take the pups out on walks; people are amazed at how shiny their coats are and cannot believe it is just a balanced RAW + NATURAL diet that does that … of course, love and loads of attention are the final ingredients.
Through this journey, we also added two other beautiful dogs to the family, and their names are Piper and Lucy; they reap all the benefits of our journey to raw dog food.
