"My boy is loving it and so am I. Super convenient for me and super good for him. So many fantastic choices for him to have a good variety of flavours. I'm a returning customer and intend to get more when he runs out again. Also I ordered at night and it was there the next day. Highly recommend Kuri, great job Team."

| Chicken | Dogs new to raw with no known chicken sensitivity. |
| Beef | Owners wanting a familiar red meat option. |

Why raw
Why raw feeding has a real case
The best supportive research does not rely on one claim. It shows a pattern across digestion, gut microbiome, metabolic markers, immune signalling and owner-reported skin, ear and gut outcomes. That is why Kuri backs simple, meat-based raw feeding built around clear proteins and practical portions. For more detail, read our NZ raw-feeding guide.
Digestibility and smaller stools
Controlled feeding studies have found higher protein digestibility and lower faecal output in dogs fed the tested raw diets compared with the tested extruded diets. That supports one of the most common real-world raw feeding observations: dogs often produce less waste when meals are more digestible. Read the study.
Clear meat-based meals
Kuri raw dog food is built around recognisable animal proteins and practical frozen medallions. You can choose the protein, portion the meal, and feed without guessing what your dog is eating.
Gut microbiome support
Sandri et al. found that raw feeding changed the canine faecal microbiome and fermentation profile. Hiney et al. later reported distinct microbial communities and higher faecal immune markers in raw-fed dogs, adding to the gut-health case for raw feeding. Read the study.
Metabolic signals
Supportive studies report favourable differences in markers such as cholesterol, glucose-related measures, alkaline phosphatase, GlycA, carnitine and creatine in raw-fed or non-dry-fed dogs. The pattern is not just about ingredients, it shows up in the dog.
Skin, ears and gut patterns
DogRisk studies associate early-life exposure to non-processed meat-based foods with lower owner-reported atopy-related skin signs, chronic enteropathy and otitis later in life. That supports the practical idea that what dogs eat early can matter.

Ingredients
What's in Kuri raw dog food?
Kuri raw recipes use clearly listed meat, organ, tripe and ground bone ingredients. Choose the protein that suits your dog, then check each product page for the exact recipe and feeding guide.
Raw meat
Choose from chicken, beef, lamb, venison, rabbit or salmon. Each protein gives you a clear starting point when matching your dog's food to their preferences and routine.
Organ meat
Heart, liver and kidney bring nutrient-dense animal ingredients into the recipe. They are part of what makes raw feeding different from heavily processed dry food.
Green tripe
Green tripe is included in several Kuri recipes and is valued by raw feeders for its strong palatability and whole-animal feeding role.
Ground bone
Ground bone is included in selected recipes as part of a practical raw feeding format. Always follow the product feeding guide for your dog's size, age and needs.
Kuri raw food is made in Aotearoa New Zealand using local ingredients, then sold frozen in easy medallions. View the full range in the Kuri raw dog food shop.
Why Kuri
Why choose Kuri raw dog food?
Kuri raw food is made in New Zealand, packed into easy frozen medallions, and backed by a Christchurch team that works with dogs every day.
Consistent recipes, simple portions
Kuri uses consistent recipes and pre-portioned medallions, so you do not need to prepare separate meat, organ and tripe portions at every meal. Follow the product feeding information and ask our team or your vet if your dog has growth, weight or medical requirements.
Pre-portioned and ready to feed
Our food comes in convenient frozen medallions that separate easily. Feed thawed or frozen as a cold treat on a warm Canterbury afternoon. Take from the freezer the night before, ready in the morning. No meal prep required.
Made in Aotearoa New Zealand
Kuri raw food is made in New Zealand using local ingredients, supporting NZ farmers and producers. When you order, you're getting food made here rather than warehoused imports. Fresher ingredients, shorter chain.
Trusted by our own daycare dogs
Kuri works with dogs across daycare, grooming, walking and small-group training. You get feeding support from a team that knows dogs beyond the food bowl. We help with portions, transitions, weight checks and choosing a practical starting protein.
Customer reviews
What Kuri customers say.
4.9 stars on Google. Over 210 reviews. Here is what owners notice after switching to Kuri raw food.
"I can't recommend KURI enough. Excellent product to start with. The raw is fantastic, and works out to be value for money and not as expensive as I first thought. See their food calculator, they've done all the work for you. The medallions make it easy, organ meat, bones, tripe in one easy medallion. The green tripe is fantastic, a hard one to find that is green and not bleached like human tripe grade."
Pip Everly ★★★★★"Kuri is truly amazing to our wee Olly when it comes to having a home away from home. Friendliest staff, fantastic selection of raw food and would recommend Kuri to anyone."

FAQ
Raw dog food questions, answered.
Straight answers for Christchurch owners choosing Kuri raw food, from portions and puppies to delivery and switching.
What is a raw dog food diet?
A raw dog food diet is built around uncooked animal ingredients such as meat, organ, tripe and bone. Kuri makes that practical by packing raw recipes into frozen medallions, so you can portion and feed without preparing each ingredient yourself.
Check each product page for the exact recipe, then use our NZ raw-feeding guide when planning your dog's wider diet.
Is raw dog food safe for puppies?
Yes, puppies can be raw fed when the food and portions are chosen for growth. Puppies need the right balance of energy, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients, so start with a puppy-suitable product and follow the feeding guide closely.
Use the Recommendation Tool above or call the team for portion guidance: (03) 355 5874. Read more in our puppy raw guide.
Is raw better than kibble?
Raw feeding gives you clearer ingredients, flexible protein choices and more control over what your dog eats. Supportive feeding studies also show high protein digestibility and smaller, firmer stools in the raw diets tested compared with the extruded diets tested.
Compare the practical costs and feeding approach in our raw versus kibble guide.
Can raw food help dogs with food sensitivities?
Raw feeding can make protein selection clearer. If your dog does better on one protein, a single-protein or less common protein option can make feeding simpler and easier to track.
If your dog has a confirmed allergy or ongoing skin, ear or gut symptoms, work with your vet on a proper elimination plan. Read more in our food sensitivity guide.
Can I mix raw dog food with kibble?
Yes, many owners use raw and kibble in the same feeding plan while transitioning or topping up. Introduce raw gradually, keep portions sensible, and watch your dog's stools, appetite and energy.
Use our raw and kibble guide for a practical transition approach.
How do I transition my dog to raw food?
Start with one protein and introduce it over seven to ten days. Begin around 25% raw alongside their current food, then increase the raw portion every two to three days if stools, appetite and energy look good.
Use our transition guide and the Recommendation Tool above.
Do Kuri recipes include bone?
Several Kuri recipes include ground raw bone as part of the medallion recipe. Ground bone is different from handing your dog a whole recreational bone, and it helps keep feeding practical.
Follow the product feeding information, especially for puppies and dogs with known medical conditions. For more on bones, read our raw meaty bones guide.
Is raw food suitable for senior dogs?
Many senior dogs can do well on raw food. The right starting point depends on body condition, teeth, digestion, activity and any existing health concerns.
For older dogs, start with a practical protein and portion, then adjust based on condition and appetite. Read more in our senior dog raw guide.
How does delivery work?
Order from the Kuri raw-food shop and choose delivery or collection. We aim for same-day Christchurch delivery when you order before 9am. Overnight South Island delivery excludes rural delivery addresses.
In-store collection is at 473 St Asaph Street, Phillipstown, Christchurch. Monday to Friday 7am-6pm, Saturday 10am-2pm.
