Most dog food labels are designed to confuse you, not inform you.
If ingredients sound vague, processed, or impossible to explain in plain English, that’s usually a red flag 🚩
Your dog deserves transparency, not mystery meat.

One is good progress with the new diet. The other is a red flag you need to do something about.

Part 2: When a dog`s poo is white and chalky that means they have too much calcium in their diet. It`s possibly an easy fix, reduce their raw meaty bones down to approx 2 a week.

Your dog`s poo can tell you a lot about what is going on inside their gut.
Soft and well formed - things are good.
White and chalky - too much calcium.
Too loose - something isn`t working.

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.

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.
