Key Partners

Fibre Fresh National Equestrian Centre, Aratiatia

Tutukau Trust

Tutukau Trust have been amazing by providing the sheep for us to use for the Sheep Dog Trials. Their partnership over the last 2 years has been invaluable.

Black Hawk

Black Hawk has cared deeply about pet nutrition from the outset.

To us, every ingredient matters. Everything we do, and every product we make, is about ensuring our pet gets everything they need and nothing they don't. We source our premium ingredients form local farming partners, develop our recipes with our team of expert pet nutritionists and vets, and manufacture in regional Australia.

We are extremely proud of this commitment, as well as our long-standing loyalty to Australian farmers and regional communities. This is reflected in the ingredients we buy, and the wide range of community programs we support.
