K9 Natural
K9 Natural is a New Zealand pioneer of freeze-dried raw feeding, made by Natural Pet Food Group and sold widely across Australia. The range is built around high-meat "Feast" recipes that pack 90 percent-plus grass-fed or cage-free meat, organs and green-lipped mussel into a shelf-stable food you rehydrate at home. It is one of the cleaner, more transparent labels on the AU market, and priced accordingly. Best suited to owners who want raw-style nutrition without the freezer, and who are comfortable paying a premium for it.
