4 signs your dog might have a food allergy: paw licking, recurring ear infections, itchy skin, and digestive upset. These are common early warning signs many dog owners miss, especially in kibble-fed dogs. If your dog is struggling with allergy symptoms, raw feeding and novel proteins may be worth exploring.

Pack walks shouldn’t feel like chaos.
Our walkers match dogs by size, energy + social style, then walk them together in a neutral space (not anyone’s “turf”). That lowers pressure and helps dogs practise calm greetings, better body language, and switching off between sniff breaks.
A steady walk + safe social time = a happier dog at home.
What does your dog find hardest on walks, other dogs, noises, or settling?

Socialising isn’t “letting them say hi.”
Real socialising = a calm nervous system + the right dogs + smart timing.
With stress-free, neurologically based training, your dog learns:
• how to read signals
• how to settle around noise + movement
• how to play without tipping into chaos
That’s how well-mannered, happy dogs handle cafés, vets, kids, and new places.

Still feeding chicken-based kibble but your dog is itchy, licking paws, getting ear infections, or dealing with tummy issues? For some dogs, common proteins like chicken can be a trigger. Food allergies in dogs are usually linked to proteins, and novel proteins like venison or rabbit can be a better option for sensitive dogs. At Kuri, we make real raw dog food in Christchurch, New Zealand, using alternative protein sources for dogs who need something different. #DogAllergies #RawDogFood #NovelProtein

Dog licking paws all the time? It might not just be grass or seasonal allergies. In some dogs, paw licking and itchy skin can be linked to food sensitivities, and one of the most common ways vets investigate that is through a strict elimination diet using a novel or hydrolyzed protein. If your dog is constantly chewing or licking their feet, it may be time to look at the bowl, not just the environment. Follow for dog nutrition tips and try our welcome pack to start improving your dog’s diet.

Most dog food research is funded by the same companies selling kibble.
That doesn’t automatically make it wrong, but it does mean dog owners should research all feeding options, including raw feeding.
Raw diets for dogs are becoming more popular as owners look into ingredients, nutrition, and how dogs evolved to eat.
Have you ever researched raw feeding for dogs?

Many dog owners worry about bacteria like salmonella when it comes to raw dog food. But the truth is dogs are biologically designed to handle bacteria much better than humans.
Dogs have highly acidic stomachs and shorter digestive systems that help them process bacteria found in raw meat. The reality is that bacteria can also exist in kibble, and dry dog food has been recalled multiple times due to contamination.
The key to safe raw feeding is proper sourcing, storage, and handling — just like you would with raw meat in your own kitchen.
If you’re curious about switching from kibble to raw feeding, the Kuri Starter Pack is an easy way to get started and see how your dog responds.

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.

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?
