PURE, NATURAL AND SIMPLE

OUR INGREDIENTS ARE PURE, NATURAL AND SIMPLE. THESE PREMIUM INGREDIENTS ARE NATURALLY PACKED WITH PROTEIN AND HIGH IN OMEGA 3’S.

GRASS FED NEW ZEALAND BEEF, LAMB AND VENISON

Chefs the world over agree that cattle, sheep and deer that have been allowed to enjoy a grass fed diet deliver superior tasting beef and lamb. At Kiwi Kitchens we’re far happier consuming high quality protein that we know has led a happy, healthy life and comes from farms that follow regenerative farming practices.

We want to follow that same philosophy when we feed our pets.

SUSTAINABLY FARMED NEW ZEALAND KING SALMON

New Zealand King Salmon is a rich natural source of healthy Omega 3 fatty acids. The Omega 3’s are a natural anti-inflammatory that combat many common ailments, assist with cognitive function, the immune system and retinal function. These richly delicious salmon also provide a natural source of a healthy Omega 6 – linoleic acid, which promotes a shiny glossy coat.

NEW ZEALAND WILD CAUGHT WHITE FISH

Our wild caught white fish are sourced from the sub Antarctic waters of southern New Zealand. Fish from these waters contain low amounts of heavy metals and are very high in Omega 3’s. New Zealand ocean fisheries have one of the highest rankings in the world for sustainability.

BARN RAISED NEW
ZEALAND CHICKEN

We use cage free humanely raised chicken from New Zealand farmers who grow their birds without added hormones and no genetic modification. Poultry that has been allowed to develop at its natural rate not only satisfies our personal ethics but also delivers better nutrition and lower levels of pathogens.

SUSTAINABLE
FARMING

ENVIRONMENTAL, FINANCIAL, SOCIAL AND ETHICAL SUSTAINABILITY ARE AT THE HEART OF OUR BUSINESS. WE‘RE PROUD TO BRING THE WORLD A FOOD THAT IS BOTH CONSIDERATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND BENEFICIAL TO PETS.

New Zealand has an abundance of grass fed red meats and sustainable fisheries. The clean pure environment provides a platform to grow the world’s best food. Kiwi Kitchens delivers high quality New Zealand sourced protein, less carbohydrate and more Omega 3’s to pets in the most natural way possible.

SAFE FOOD THAT IS FULLY TRACEABLE
It’s important to us to not only know where our ingredients come from but ensure they have little or no impact on our environment. We work closely with farmers and growers to ensure their practices are sustainable and ethical.

All Kiwi Kitchens products are produced from meat and fish deemed fit for human consumption. Every batch is tested to ensure bacteria levels are safe.

PACKED WITH NEW ZEALAND SUPER FOODS

IN ADDITION TO HIGH QUALITY PROTEINS WE ADD SUPER FOODS LIKE: NEW ZEALAND GREEN MUSSEL, NEW ZEALAND KING SALMON, DRIED SEAWEED, FLAXSEED, KIWIFRUIT, BLACKCURRANT AND FISH OIL. EACH CAREFULLY SELECTED SUPER FOOD HAS A UNIQUE BENEFIT, SUCH AS ASSISTING TO DEVELOP A HEALTHY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, IMPROVED SKIN CONDITION, OVERALL IMMUNITY AND ULTIMATELY GREAT ANIMAL HEALTH.

 

NEW ZEALAND GREEN MUSSELS
This marine super food found only in New Zealand has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. New Zealand Green Mussels have a unique combination of fatty acids and are a nutrition powerhouse. They contain:

  • Chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine (aids in stimulating the repair of cartilage and preventing its breakdown),
  • EPA and DHA Omega 3 fatty acids (improves brain
    function, decreases inflammation and high blood pressure,
    and decreases the risk of heart disease).

Most Importantly there is also one Omega 3 fatty acid which is unique to New Zealand Green Mussels and provides a powerful natural benefit, namely eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA). ETA produces similar effects in terms of reducing inflammation to that of commonly used anti-inflammatory drugs, but without any of the potential negative health implications.

We’re excited about the worldwide acclaim this Kiwi Super Food is attracting and are proud to include Raw New Zealand Green Mussel in our Kiwi Kitchens Frozen Raw Food and Raw Freeze Dried Dinners.

NATURALLY HIGH IN CHONDROITIN AND GLUCOSAMINE
KIWI KITCHENS is naturally high in Chondroitin Sulphate and Glucosamine. Both provide the building blocks to support the repair of damaged cartilage and assist with maintaining healthy pain free joints.

A COMPLETE AND BALANCED WHOLE FOOD.
We add vitamins and minerals to ensure all of our dinner recipes are COMPLETE and BALANCED. Our recipes meet the nutritional requirements established by the AAFCO Pet Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages.

A “complete” meal provides all the nutrition pets require. A “balanced” meal delivers these nutrients in the correct ratios.

IT’S WHAT WE DON’T INCLUDE THAT’S IMPORTANT TOO.
We ensure that there are no fillers, synthetic flavours, colours or preservatives in our products.

THE FREEZE DRYING
PROCESS SIMPLIFIED

AS A COMPANY WE BELIEVE IN MINIMALLY PROCESSING WHEREVER POSSIBLE, HOWEVER IN SOME CASES WE UNDERSTAND THAT CONVENIENCE IS ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. THE FREEZE DRYING PROCESS OFFERS A DISTINCT ADVANTAGE. THE PRODUCT IS DRY AND CONVENIENT TO USE, BUY AND TRANSPORT. HOWEVER, IT CAN SIMPLY BE REHYDRATED AT ANY STAGE BEFORE FEEDING BY ADDING WATER TO THE MEAL.

Freeze Drying is a very natural process of simply extracting water from food allowing it to be a dried product. This allows the food to be shelf stable and last a long time without the need for refrigeration.


  •  Product is frozen to -40º C (-40ºF) and placed into the freeze driers.

  • The machine is then closed and pressurised.
  • A vacuum is then created.
  • At some point during this exercise, a process called sublimation occurs which is when water skips the liquid phase and turns straight to vapour.
  • This water vapour is then sucked out by the vacuum and recaptured within pipes which sit at -60ºC (-51ºF). The water vapour then turns to ice and all the water is retained.

  • This process then results in a dry product that has not had any heat added to it, therefore no damage has been done to the product.

  • For our Dinners we recommend rehydrating with water for ultimate nutrition.
