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?

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.

Sniffing is dog “small talk.”
Two dogs on grass, checking each other out—slow, polite, no pressure.
Regular walks like this build:
• safer social skills (learning consent + distance)
• calmer nervous systems
• fewer “big feelings” at home
If greetings always turn into chaos, it’s usually not “stubborn”—it’s stress + practice.

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.
