How Naturally Pawsome Dog Food Began
Like every other family in NZ, we spent the Covid years hunkered down, creating delicious food to make our whole team smile. Once borders opened back in 2021, we were offered a unique opportunity, to live and work between Europe and NZ which made a lot of sense to us, giving us the opportunity to make up for lost time with our whānau around the world.
Life is short and always has a funny way of showing us the way. So, we spent days hugging our furry friend Skye, packed up the two-legged team, and off we went.
Making this decision meant that Skye, our first baby, also got to live a dual life, both with beautiful friends in Wanaka- the Craig family, who welcomed her like their own. There, she met Betty the pug, Skye's now cuzzie-bro , before heading over to join Marion and the team at Tinwald farm, where she spent days swimming in streams and chasing smells on this amazingly progressive farm... Skye was pretty much living her best life, but we missed her terribly...
In classic Ross style, everywhere we went, we imagined how much Skye would enjoy being there. Letting her know how much we loved her from so far away was pretty hard to do but, we knew the best way to her heart was to her tummy, so, Adam organised deliveries, but, after a heap of research, he decided that she deserved more wholesome, natural dog food. He wanted better for her.
With a background in Zoology and 15 years in the kitchen, he began the development journey and… Naturally Pawsome, a blend of natural and awesome, was born.
Naturally Pawsome's Goal
Adam's goal was to create dog food that was convenient, affordable, and genuinely healthy, so, he went deep into research, studying what dogs historically ate and how to ensure it was shelf-stable.
With Skye as chief taste tester, advice from pet nutritionists and a wolfpack of Skyes’ friends, we crafted recipes that are simple, wholesome, and all-natural. Each ingredient is chosen carefully to give dogs the best nutrition possible.
At Naturally Pawsome, we're all about quality and transparency. We use only the finest ingredients, and we make each batch with care right here in Central Otago. Whether you're a seasoned pet parent or new to it all, we're here to offer nutritious meals that are easy on your schedule and great for your dog's health.
