Optimal pet nutrition: Canterbury Pet Food C


The ancestors of cats and dogs would consume raw, delicious diets in the wild, extracting nutrients for optimal health and happiness. Our pets deserve equal nourishment.

Replicating the nutritional profile that cats and dogs have evolved to eat, Canterbury Pet Food Co focuses on meat, bone, and organ mixes, combining added sustenance through green-lipped mussels, free-range eggs, and wild bone broth. “We have tailored mixes for different life stages, weight management requirements, activity and energy levels, all produced from high-quality ingredients,” manager Stu Free explains.

The proof is in the product. More than 23 years in, the team continue to receive reputable feedback on the benefits. “Our customers say their pets are more energetic, happy, youthful, and playful.” We are often told pets raised on Canterbury Pet Food Co “have fewer health issues and better quality of life”, plus shinier coats, better digestion, healthier teeth, and more energy.

The company began in 2002 with a shop in Rangiora before obtaining an Ohoka-based factory. Manufacturing began, selling into the wholesale market, more recently shifting to prioritise selling direct to the public – at wholesale prices.

 

An “evangelistic zeal” for converting cats and dogs to raw meat diets and seeing them thrive fuelled the growth from a small family business to a 30-strong team. Their presence grew, too, with stores in Islington and Ohoka and an extensive home delivery service. Stu describes their loyal customer base as people “who care about their pets health and wellbeing and understand that optimum nutrition is an integral part in helping them live happy, healthy lives”.
