What's in your dog's food?  Ever checked what’s really in your dog’s food? Hills Science Diet lists by-products, potato, and “natural flavours.” Kuri’s raw chicken and heart is literally just that — chicken and heart. Nothing hidden. Nothing cooked. That’s why raw dog food in Christchurch just makes sense.  #RawDogFoodChristchurch #KuriCity #FeedRawNotKibble #RawFedDogNZ #ChristchurchDogs #DogNutritionNZ #RawFeedingNZ #HealthyDogHappyDog #NaturalDogFood

Is your furry friend staring at the wall again? 🐕

A bored dog is often a destructive dog! Try these brain-boosters:

• Snuffle mats for natural foraging
• Frozen Kong toys with healthy fillings
• 5-minute training sessions throughout the day
• Rotate toys weekly to keep things fresh
• Simple cardboard puzzle boxes with treats inside

Mental stimulation tires pups out more than physical exercise alone! What's your dog's favorite thinking game?

That first vet visit? 

The park? 

Meeting new people?

Early socialization makes all the difference. 

When puppies experience new sights, sounds, and smells during their critical development window (8-16 weeks), they learn the world isn't scary. 

They build resilience instead of fear.

Here's what proper socialization actually looks like:

• Positive exposure to different surfaces
• Meeting vaccinated, friendly dogs
• Gentle handling by various people
• Hearing household noises
• Car rides and short outings

It's not about overwhelming them—it's about creating positive associations. 

Well-socialized puppies grow into dogs who:

• Adapt easily to new environments
• Handle stress better
• Communicate clearly with other dogs
• Trust their humans in unfamiliar situations

Skip the socialization, and you might see:

• Fear-based reactions
• Difficulty with change
• Increased anxiety in adulthood
• Limited ability to enjoy new experiences

Start small. Make it positive. Watch their confidence grow.

What's one new experience your puppy handled well recently?

Ever notice how your dog comes home tired but happy after a playdate? 🐕

That's because socialization isn't just fun - it's essential! When dogs interact with their furry friends, they:

• Learn appropriate play behaviors
• Build confidence in social settings
• Burn excess energy (hello, peaceful evenings!)
• Develop better communication skills

At Kuri, we create safe spaces for dogs to be... well, dogs! The bonds they form here make for better-behaved pups at home too.

What positive changes have you seen in your dog after socializing?

Want to give your dog the gift of friendship? Call us at +64335555875 to book a free trial session at Kuri City.
