In the human world, it is fair to say we are currently clasped in the grips of a protein obsession. Where ‘sugar free’ and ‘low fat’ used to dominate the food-marketing scene, it is now hard to miss the ‘with added protein’ plastered on everything from breakfast cereals to pizza dough and...
It’s a thing that looms large in the daily lives of dog owners. We’d rather not think about it, but we have to. We’d like to turn our back and stride confidently away, but common decency, multiple bylaws and a deathly stare from fellow walkers means there is no way...
Ever wondered why your dog or cat is turning their nose up at food they were loving just days ago? They’re probably trying to tell you something is not quite right with their dinner. Chances are, this is down to the way it has been stored.
Whilst some people are still lamenting their forgone European summer or Balinese birthday celebration, others are taking the opportunity to pack up the car and explore the offerings of their own backyard.

Here at K9 Natural and Feline Natural we are committed to providing the best blends of nature in nutrition for cats and dogs. As part of this philosophy, we refuse to include any binders, gums or gelling agents in our diets which would compromise the natural goodness of our wholefood ingredients.
Whilst merriness mixed with overindulgence is often synonymous with the holiday period, it is important to remember that there can also be a number of risks for your furry family members that may see you spending Christmas day in the vet clinic instead of around the dining table.
With preparations in full swing for the spooky season, it is important that we not only start planning our decorations, but also how we can keep our canine friends safe during the holiday season.
The skin is a large, active organ with a high requirement for protein, fat and other nutrients. Therefore, it is unsurprising that subtle changes in its nutrient supply have a marked effect on both skin and coat condition. As the saying goes ‘we are what we eat;’ and in this...
Fresh, clean air. We’ve got a lot of it down here in New Zealand. So at K9 Natural we got to thinking. Why not make good use of it and blend it into our well-loved, natural products? And the idea was born: fine canine fare, air-dried to perfection.
While we all navigate these uncertain COVID-19 waters, we must remember these changing times affect our animal companions too and as pet owners. It is our job to steady the ship and help them sail smoothly out the other side.
As us humans batten down the hatches and stay on home soil for the next little while, the furry members of your family are probably experiencing feelings of equal parts excitement and confusion at your sudden extended presence in their life. Changing to this new normal can bring about unique...
We all want the very best for our pets, so it’s only natural that we want to know about the ingredients in the food they’re eating to make sure they’re getting the very best nutrition.
Just like when introducing a new human baby into your house, it is essential to safeguard your dog’s routine when you introduce a new kitten. Ensuring they are still going out on their walks and receiving their normal level of love and affection is central in making their position in...
