Raw feeding is still one of the most controversial topics in the dog world 🐶🥩
Vets warn about bacteria and “unbalanced” diets, raw feeders swear their dogs have never been healthier… and dog parents are stuck in the middle just trying to do the right thing.
In this video I break down WHY raw feeding is so controversial, what vets are actually worried about (bacteria, overcomplicated recipes, lack of funding for raw research), and why so many people still choose to feed raw anyway. No fear-mongering, no cult vibes – just honest, relatable dog nutrition chat.
Comment with the WORST thing someone has said to you about raw feeding… or ‘RAW CURIOUS’ if you’re thinking about it but feel nervous.

A fourteen-year study showed something simple.
Dogs kept lean lived 1.8 years longer.
They aged slower.
Their joints stayed stronger.
Disease appeared later.
The right feeding routine shapes a dog’s whole life.
I trust this research because the study followed matched siblings from puppyhood to old age.
I also see the same patterns in my own dogs after twenty years of feeding raw.
If you want a simple way to support a longer, healthier life, we can guide you.
The best for you and your dog.

Congratulations and Good on Ya! to our most recent Wednesday Adult group class Graduates; Piwai, Aston, Isla & Frankie. Our trainer Shannon was stoked to see your progression and all the learning you and your humans have done together over the 6 week course.
Training at KURI builds more than skills. It strengthens the connection between you and your dog.
Our group classes use positive, structured learning. Your dog learns good manners, builds confidence, and settles better in everyday situations. Classes also provide safe social time so your dog learns to stay calm around others.
A trained dog is more relaxed and more confident. You leave each session with clear steps you can use at home to keep your dog progressing.
Our next 6 week Adult Class starts in the New Year. Dates TBC.
Our next 6 week Puppy Class will be in the New Year. Dates TBC.
These classes run weekly from 6.15-7.30pm and cost $330.
Please contact us for more info our to book.

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.
General
Where is Kuri located?
We’re at 473 St Asaph Street, Christchurch CBD — with easy parking and drop-off access.
What size dogs do you work with?
Daycare is for small dogs only, but our grooming, training and raw food services welcome all dogs.
How can I book a service?
Book online via our website or call us during business hours. We’ll guide you through any first-time questions.
