Unlike their canine counterparts, our feline friends are notoriously poor drinkers. This is likely due to their evolutionary path from desert type environments whereby they obtained most of their water through consumption of entire prey animals… including the stomach contents.
Quinoa, cauliflower and kale: the trendy superfoods of our world. They’re not exclusive to humans, though, and we happen to have sourced the superfood taking the housecat market by storm: green tripe, the stomach lining of an animal.
If New Zealand hoki were at school, they’d get gold stars. Correction: they actually are in schools, but you won’t find them sitting at a desk! Hoki is a species of fish abundant in New Zealand waters, and where you will find it is in a couple of our K9 Natural and Feline Natural products.
Picture this: cattle grazing on lush green grass in open paddocks, wandering as they please, frolicking in the sunshine and daisies… okay, we’re getting a bit cheesy here, but that really is a pretty accurate snapshot of a cow’s life in New Zealand. We pride ourselves on healthy, happy cows...
Technology has quickly made its way into every aspect of our lives – and although we might not often consider it, the same goes for our four-legged friends. Don’t think it stops at automatic cat-flaps and tennis ball throwers, though. The worldwide movement toward healthier alternatives in pet nutrition has...
With preparations in full swing for the spooky season, it is important that we not only start planning our decorations, but also how we can keep our feline friends safe during the holiday season. Halloween is a fun time for all, but with constant visitors, intimidating costumes and toxic treats it...
We’re excited to bring Feline Natural Beef Feast, Lamb Feast and Chicken Feast Single Source Cans to your cat’s bowl. They’re perfect for those who don’t like or can’t have a particular protein – or just fancy something a little different!
The skin is a large, active organ with a high requirement for protein, fat and other nutrients. Therefore, it is unsurprising that subtle changes in its nutrient supply have a marked effect on both skin and coat condition. As the saying goes ‘we are what we eat;’ and in this...
With health trends on the rise globally, busting the myth that ‘fat makes you fat’ is a serious point of discussion. Most understand that the fat you eat doesn’t automatically settle itself as fat tissue in the body, any more than eating more protein will build body-builder worthy muscles. But...
Trying to make a cat drink when it doesn’t want to is near impossible. Too commonly owners tell me they have purchased a myriad of water drinking devices, including multi-tiered trickling fountains more suited to a Japanese bonsai garden, only for them to be consistently ignored by their intended feline...

Despite all their wonderful attributes, when it comes to mealtime, many of our feline friends can be a significant source of frustration, particularly when new foods are introduced. Cats are known for their fastidious behavior and this all to frequently extends to their diet.
There are a number of things we can do to help our pets who may find it difficult, to once again, get used to being on their own. The most important thing is to recognise that this may take time and building up to leaving them alone for 8 hours will give...
Whilst merriness mixed with overindulgence is often synonymous with the holiday period, it is important to remember that there can also be a number of risks for your furry family members that may see you spending Christmas day in the vet clinic instead of around the dining table.
We all want the very best for our pets, so it’s only natural that we want to know about the ingredients in the food they’re eating to make sure they’re getting the very best nutrition. One of the ingredients in our K9 Natural Oils range, our Pet Milks and Feline...
Whilst I can say with reasonable confidence our feline friends were not the intended audience, Hippocrates had it right when he said, ‘let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food’. A nutritious, well-balanced, meat centric diet is critical to the health and wellbeing of cats, with several of the...
