As dog owners, we cherish our four-legged companions' well-being above all else. In this quest for optimal health, the realm of pet nutrition has witnessed a resounding shift. Raw feeding, once a niche practice, is now gaining fervent momentum among discerning pet parents.

New Zealand is renowned for its clean and green environment. The country's stringent agricultural practices ensure the production of high-quality, ethically sourced raw pet food.

As a responsible pet owner, you want the best for your four-legged companion, including their diet. Raw dog food, often referred to as a "raw diet" or "BARF diet" (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food), has gained popularity among pet owners seeking to provide a more natural and nutritious option for their pets. However, handling and storing raw pet food requires special care to prevent contamination and ensure your dog's well-being. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the essential precautions you should take when handling and storing raw pet food.

Have you ever wondered what goes on inside your furry friend's mind? Dogs are not just our companions; they are unique individuals with their own quirks and traits that make them all the more lovable. From tail-chasing to head tilting, these behaviors hold fascinating insights into your canine companion's world. So, let’s take a closer look at why they behave the way they do.

Tail Wagging: You come home after a long day, and your dog's tail is wagging so vigorously you're afraid it might take flight. But what does it mean? A wagging tail isn't just a sign of excitement – it's a communication tool. When a dog wags its tail high and fast, it's expressing happiness and confidence. A low wag could indicate submission or uncertainty, while a slow wag accompanied by a tense body might signal caution or potential aggression. Pay attention to the tail, and you'll uncover a wealth of emotions your dog is trying to convey.

The Art of Head Tilting: Ever noticed how your dog tilts its head when you speak to it in that baby voice? It's not just adorable; it's a sign of attentiveness and curiosity. Dogs tilt their heads to adjust their ears, trying to catch specific sounds or frequencies. But there's another twist – this head tilt also tugs at our heartstrings, encouraging us to continue showering them with attention. Smart, aren't they?

Digging and Pawing: Got a backyard that looks like a construction site? Your dog might be the culprit behind those perfectly dug craters. Digging is an instinctive behavior inherited from their wild ancestors who dug to create shelter or find prey. Similarly, pawing at blankets or cushions is your dog's way of creating a comfy "nest" and marking its territory with its scent. So, the next time your garden undergoes renovation, remember – it's all in the genes.

The Mystery of Zoomies: Ah, the infamous zoomies – those moments when your dog suddenly sprints around like a furry rocket. This burst of energy isn't just about having fun; it's a natural behavior that helps dogs release pent-up energy. It's often triggered by happiness or even stress relief. So, the next time your living room turns into a racetrack, rest assured your dog is simply giving itself a much-needed energy outlet.

Barking and Howling: From announcing the arrival of the mail carrier to protesting bedtime, dogs have an extensive vocal range. Barking is your dog's way of communicating, whether it's a warning, a greeting, or a call for attention. Howling, on the other hand, taps into their wild roots. Dogs might howl in response to certain sounds or to communicate with other dogs in the distance. So, when your pup joins the neighborhood howling chorus, it's just them saying, "Hey, I'm here too!"

Our canine companions have different quirky traits that are just their way of expressing themselves. They may not be able to talk, but they will show you exactly how they’re feeling in their own unique ways!   

Your furry friend is not only one of your closest companions and extremely cute to look at, but did you know that beneath their furry exteriors, dogs possess some pretty incredible abilities, that I’m sure you’ll find fascinating. 

So I have just woken to the Toppl phenomena - we don’t sell these (we probably should) but I just wanted to give you some feedback.

We are a busy household, with businesses, kids sports, and a collection of animals (chickens, horses, cats and dogs) you already feel sorry for my husband right?

Whilst we have always been focused on what goes in to feeding the dogs, I think we got stuck in a bit of a rut on how we fed them.
