OUR STORY

Above all else, we’re dog lovers. Our dogs are part of our family — and now you are too. Welcome to PUPPYLOVENZ.

What began as a one-woman show in 2016 has grown into a trusted space for dog health, honest advice, and damn good food.

  • THE BEGINNING

    It all started with me (Deb), two dogs, and a serious obsession with real food. I was already feeding myself well — so I started asking why our dogs weren’t getting the same.

    Once I switched my dogs to a raw, whole food diet, the difference was wild. Healthier skin, better guts, calmer minds. People noticed — and I became the go-to dog food lady for my mates.

    I created My Dog Food Bag and started sourcing clean, sustainable meat and treats for others too. No fluff. No filler. Just stuff I’d feed my own dogs.

  • WHERE'S IT GOING ...

    Now, 9 years later, I’ve got help on the packing bench (hallelujah) and I’m shifting into full-time consultancy — because great products are just the start.

    I’m here to make things clearer, easier, and better for people who want to do right by their dogs — and feel good doing it.

Beyond the Bowl

When I’m not developing feeding plans or elbow-deep in delicious dog food, you’ll find me at one of our fabulous local restaurants, savouring everything the Central Otago region has to offer.

From fresh, seasonal plates to quirky little bites, I love flavours that spark joy — and that's true for our dogs too!

It’s all part of this mad, messy, beautiful ride I wouldn’t trade for anything.
