Crunch time

From pioneers of the raw diet for pets in Canterbury, a new dried treat range is making meal time crunchier.

Training treats, food toppers, healthy snacking and daily rewards, your pet’s raw diet can extend beyond the bowl thanks to a new ‘Ultimate Crunch’ range introduced by locals Kim and Stu Free from Canterbury Pet Food Co.

“This new mix satisfies the need for a dried treat containing a mix of nutrients in the same proportions as a prey model raw diet,” says Stu. “We have taken our most popular raw mixes, ground them ultra-fine, and then blended them together.

The result is a wide variation of high-quality meats and organs for quality nutrition in every crunch.”

Like anything in the Canterbury Pet Food Co product range, these treats are free of any additives, each treat is 100% pure meat – beef, chicken, salmon, green tripe, organs, wild game, and lamb. “Nothing else,” Stu says, “no fillers, binders, preservatives.”

Available in 150g and 250g treat jars, 200g bags, or as a topping powder in 100g bags. “We also have a massive range of single ingredient treats like beef liver, lamb liver, venison liver, green beef tripe, green lamb tripe, pork heart and tongue, beef bites, green-lipped mussel powder, and kelp powder,” Stu says. “Plus dried chews like pig ears, venison ears, hare ears, rabbit ears and tails, beef trachea and paddywhacks.”
