Dora's first haircut and she looks gorgeous. Thanks Kuri, amazing service as always -
Welcoming reception, great dog food, treats, & accessory shopping, & Ted & I both love Shannon who has a special way with dogs. Following his groom Ted always looks very handsome & smells of 'aftershave' & he enjoys all the extra attention he gets as a result!

The staff are so caring to my fur friend, we have been a customer for 10 years and totally recommend the puppy training, doggie day care and grooming. At doggie day care the lovely team engage with the dogs but also give them down time. One of my favorite things are the monthly event Fridays 😀
EVERYTHING YOUR DOG NEEDS
Christchurch's Dog Daycare Center
At Kuri City — Christchurch’s dedicated Dog Daycare Center — we offer Doggy Daycare, Dog Grooming, Dog Walking, and premium Raw Dog Food, all under one roof at 473 St Asaph Street.
Doggy Daycare
Small dogs don’t belong in a room full of big ones. Kuri City is Christchurch’s only daycare built exclusively for small breeds. Safer socialisation, calmer days, and a team your dog genuinely looks forward to seeing.
Dog Grooming
A good groom isn’t just about looks. Regular grooming catches skin issues early, keeps coats healthy, and when it’s done right, your dog walks out relaxed, not stressed. That’s what we aim for every time.
Raw Dog Food
Most dog food is heavily processed, high in starch, and far from what dogs are built to eat. Kuri raw food is made fresh in New Zealand, pre-portioned, and delivered to your door. No prep. No guesswork
Dog Walking
Your dog doesn’t just need a walk. They need a routine, a familiar face, and someone who actually pays attention to them. That’s what our walkers deliver, every time.
Dog Training
A well-trained dog isn’t just easier to live with. They’re happier. Our training focuses on building calm, confident behaviour through consistency and positive reinforcement, not frustration.
Premium Raw Dog Food
What Your Dog Eats Matters More Than You Think
Kuri raw food is made fresh in New Zealand, pre-portioned into medallions, and delivered to your door. No prep. No guesswork. Just meat, bone, and organs in the right ratios — the way dogs are built to eat.
Made Fresh in New Zealand. At Your Door in Canterbury.
We ship directly to Christchurch and across Canterbury. Order before Wednesday, delivered that week. No fillers, no preservatives, no compromise.
Most customers see changes within 4 weeks.
Coat condition improves. Stools get smaller and firmer. Energy evens out. These are the things customers tell us over and over. One of your Google reviews says it directly: "My dog has been on the Kuri raw food for 8 years — his coat is amazing." Start with a single starter pack. See what you notice.
What Your Dog Gets Every Day at Kuri
Socialisation
Interaction with other small dogs promotes positive social behaviour.
Exercise
Regular playtime keeps your dog healthy and active.

Is your dog stuck on the same protein every day?
Just like us, dogs benefit from a varied diet to avoid food sensitivities and ensure they get a broad profile of amino acids.
At Kuri, we use 100% real NZ ingredients to target specific needs:
• Lamb: Ideal for sensitive stomachs and rich in Zinc for skin health.
• Mutton: High-quality fats for sustained energy.
• Venison & Tripe: Packed with natural enzymes for better digestion.
Our formulated recipes take the guesswork out of raw feeding, helping to clear up itchy skin, support joints, and give that signature coat shine.
Have you noticed a change in your dog`s energy after switching proteins?

Your dog isn`t just on a walk; they’re learning the art of the `polite hello.`
We don`t believe in overwhelming dogs with high-pressure meetings. Instead, our walkers hand-pick small groups based on size and temperament.
This neutral space allows them to:
- Read body language without stress
- Build lasting friendships naturally
- Burn energy in a calm, managed way
It’s about quality over quantity for their social health. Does your dog have a best friend in the pack?

Dog dental health isn`t just about bad breath. It`s about what`s happening below the gum line. Here are the 3 mistakes most dog owners make, and how raw feeding addresses all of them. Prevention beats treatment every time.

Is your small dog overwhelmed by the typical `big dog` daycare rush?
We do things differently. By focusing on small breeds, we create a calm, predictable space where your pup doesn`t have to stay on high alert.
Our trained team uses neurologically based, stress-free methods to guide every interaction. This means:
• Off-lead intros in neutral spaces
• Groups matched by temperament, not just size
• Proactive redirection for polite play
• Structured rest to prevent overstimulation
When dogs feel safe, they can finally settle and actually enjoy their day.
How does your dog show they’re feeling truly relaxed at home?

That splashy run isn’t “just exercise” 🐾🌊
Regular walks give dogs:
• a predictable routine (less worry)
• sniff time to decompress
• healthy outlets—so less barking, chewing, and jumpy greetings
If your dog gets edgy at home, try shorter walks more often, not one big weekend mission.

Your dog doesn’t need a “big” walk.
They need a steady one.
A calm daily walk:
• keeps joints moving (hello, mobility)
• lowers stress by giving the brain predictable rhythm
• helps anxious energy melt into sniffing + settling
If walks are chaotic, it’s not stubbornness—it’s communication.

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.
