Ron and pearl love Kuri, they come home so happy and I can see what they are up to over social media. I feel content entrusting my little babies with the staff and I know they are safe and loved. My dogs mean the world to me and knowing that they are having the best time at kuri makes me so happy
Louisa BromleyI am very happy with Kuri's grooming services. Leo comes away looking so handsome and happy. Shannon is so good with him and is happy to adjust any grooming to Leo's needs.
Paula LeanneI've been a KURI client for 5 years, across the full range of their services. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, their products are high quality, and the trainers and groomers adapt to my dog's preferences and personality.
Michelle CrowellStraight answers for Christchurch small dog owners considering daycare, grooming, raw food, training, and walking.
No. Kuri City's daycare is built exclusively for small breeds. This is not a policy we make exceptions to — it is the core reason small dog owners choose us.
There are no large dogs on the premises during daycare hours. If you have a large dog, our grooming, training, and walking services are open to all breeds and sizes.
Generally, dogs under 15 kg. Common breeds in our daycare include Cavoodle, Maltese, Shih Tzu, Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Bichon Frise, Miniature Schnauzer, and similar small breeds.
If you are unsure whether your dog is suitable, call us on (03) 355 5874 and we can talk it through before booking a meet and greet.
Yes. Every new daycare dog comes in for a relaxed meet and greet before their first day. It gives us a chance to understand your dog's temperament, introduce them to the space, and make sure daycare is the right fit for them.
Not every dog suits daycare — and we think it is important to be honest about that from the start. If daycare is not the right match, we can talk through walking or pop-in visits as an alternative.
Yes. The raw food shop at shop.kuri.co.nz is available to anyone. You can order online and choose same-day delivery in Christchurch, overnight delivery to the rest of the South Island, or pick up in-store at 473 St Asaph Street.
Our team is happy to help you choose the right blend in-store if you are new to raw feeding.
Call us on (03) 355 5874 or email [email protected] to book daycare, grooming, training, or walking.
For grooming, we recommend booking 2-3 weeks ahead as Shannon's schedule fills quickly. Raw food is available any time at shop.kuri.co.nz with no booking required.
