Do dogs poop less when they eat raw food?
Raw-fed dogs do poop less, and it is one of the simplest signs that real food is working.
Fresh food is absorbed more efficiently, so there is less waste.
Smaller, firmer, less smelly poos show their body is using what you feed them.
It is a small daily reminder that good food makes life easier.
Comfort for them.
Less mess for you.
More balance for both of you.
That is the best for you and your dog.

The healthiest diet isn’t a single brand or a magic formula.
It’s fresh food, balanced nutrients, and a routine that fits into real life.
You don’t need complicated plans — just food that’s natural and easy to manage.
When dogs feel good, they behave better, sleep deeper, and connect with you more.
Food shapes their wellbeing and your relationship with them.

Healthy food supports a longer, happier life.
We see older dogs move easier, breathe better, and sparkle again once they’re eating real food.
It’s not magic — it’s nutrition doing what it’s meant to do.
Dogs thrive when they’re fed what their bodies are designed for, and owners thrive when feeding feels simple and rewarding.
It’s not only about adding years, it’s about adding quality to every one.

Daycare (Small Dogs)
What makes Kuri’s daycare different from other dog daycares in Christchurch?
Kuri is Christchurch’s only daycare designed just for small dogs. We create calm, safe playgroups where every dog gets the right mix of social time, rest, and enrichment — all supervised by experienced staff.
Do I need to book daycare in advance?
Yes, bookings are recommended to secure your dog’s spot. You can book online or by phone. We also offer repeat schedules for regulars.
Can my puppy attend daycare?
Absolutely! Once your puppy is vaccinated, they can join our small, gentle groups for safe socialisation and confidence-building.
Grooming (All Dogs)
What grooming services do you offer?
We offer full grooming, bath and tidy, coat-specific cuts, nail trims, and deshedding for dogs of all sizes and breeds.
Can you groom anxious or nervous dogs?
Yes. Our groomers are experienced with nervous and rescue dogs. We take a calm, gentle approach to help your dog feel relaxed and safe.
How often should my dog be groomed?
Most dogs need grooming every 4–8 weeks depending on coat type. Regular grooming keeps skin healthy and reduces shedding.
Training (All Dogs)
What kind of training do you offer?
We provide adult and puppy training using positive reinforcement. Sessions focus on manners, confidence, and real-world calmness.
Can you help with barking or separation anxiety?
Yes — we offer one-on-one behaviour support tailored to all dogs and their unique needs.
Raw Dog Food (All Dogs)
What is raw dog food, and why feed it?
Raw dog food is a natural diet of meat, organs, and bone — designed to match how dogs are meant to eat. It supports better digestion, coat health, and overall vitality.
Do you deliver raw dog food outside Christchurch?
Yes. We deliver fresh, frozen raw food across Christchurch and the South Island using temperature-safe packaging.
How do I start feeding my dog raw food?
Start with our Kuri Raw Starter Pack or use our Feeding Calculator to find the right meal size. We make switching to raw simple and safe.
Is raw feeding suitable for all dogs?
Definitely. Our meals are designed to support all breeds and life stages — from puppies to seniors. Many dogs with allergies or gut issues thrive on our recipes.
General
Where is Kuri located?
We’re at 473 St Asaph Street, Christchurch CBD — with easy parking and drop-off access.
What size dogs do you work with?
Daycare is for small dogs only, but our grooming, training and raw food services welcome all dogs.
