🇳🇿 Novel protein · Grain-free · NZ-farmed duck
Real NZ-farmed meat. Grain-free. No nasties. Made by a NZ family for dogs that deserve better.
Food sensitivities and allergies in dogs are more common than people realise. The symptoms — itchy skin, recurring ear infections, poor coat, digestive upsets — can be frustrating and expensive to manage.
One approach often explored (with veterinary guidance) is introducing a "novel protein" — a protein source your dog hasn't eaten before, so their immune system hasn't been sensitised to it. [This is general information — not medical advice. Always work with your vet for a formal allergy diagnosis and management plan.]
If your dog has been eating beef or chicken their whole life, duck may be a novel protein worth exploring. NZ-grown Pekin duck is the primary protein in our duck recipe — a single, clean protein source with no grain, no common fillers and no artificial additives. [Work with your vet before making dietary changes for a dog with diagnosed food allergies.]
A low-risk way to introduce your dog to Local Pet Food. Real NZ-farmed meat, grain-free, and made with no nasties.
