The ingredients are of world-class quality! What is the premium food KiaOra?

KiaOra® is a word in the Maori language of the indigenous people of New Zealand that originally meant "Be healthy" or "Be well," and has since been used as a greeting, similar to "Hello."

KiaOra dog food and cat food are made with meat ingredients from New Zealand and Australia, which are known worldwide for their excellent quality, and are made to pursue the essence of dogs and cats from a scientific perspective, starting from the question, "What kind of animals are dogs and cats originally?"

We are committed to using only ingredients that are necessary for the health of dogs and cats, and have focused on using as much high-quality meat from New Zealand and Australia that has been naturally raised on pasture as possible. We do not use ingredients that are just used to enhance the product's image.

Bow Wow Place stocks a wide variety of additive-free and safe dog and cat food. This time, we will be introducing KiaOra in detail, which is characterized by being made primarily from fresh, high-quality meat ingredients from New Zealand and Australia.

Features of KiaOra

◆ World-class ingredients from New Zealand

New Zealand is known worldwide as a producer of high-quality meat, seafood, and dairy products. KiaOra® is a food made with only the best quality meat and seafood caught in New Zealand, a country blessed with pristine grasslands, clean seas, and no livestock epidemics such as BSE.

◆ A valuable new source of protein from Australia

Australia, with its boundless expanse of nature, is one of the world's leading countries in terms of natural abundance and wildlife. In addition, the country is protected by very strict quarantine management and legal regulations, and there are no epidemics of BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), foot and mouth disease, avian influenza, or other livestock diseases.

◆ Food made with the maximum amount of meat ingredients, tailored to the eating habits of dogs and cats

Dogs are basically carnivores, and cats are true carnivores. We have eliminated ingredients that are unnecessary for carnivores and only enhance their image, and created a meat-based recipe that is suitable for the digestive tracts of dogs and cats.

In addition, our "lamb" and "grass-fed beef" are safe meats that are raised on natural pastures in New Zealand and fed on grass. Wild "kangaroos" are a type of game unique to Australia that are raised freely eating natural grass in an environment blessed with sunshine and rain all year round, making them a healthy meat that is high in protein and low in fat.

◆ Grain-free (no grains used) with minimal carbohydrates!

It does not use grains and limits animal protein sources to "single meat ingredient + salmon" to take food allergies into consideration. In addition, it contains a balanced blend of omega 3 & 6 fatty acids through a combination of "chicken fat", "fish oil" and "canola oil", and uses herbs with natural antioxidant properties to maintain health and provide anti-aging care.

The types and amounts of plant ingredients are kept to a bare minimum, and the amount of meat is maximized. Because of this, it was difficult to mold the product properly, so we had to repeat test production over and over again before we were finally able to make it into a product.

Fish oil contains natural DHA and EPA and is very good for the body, but it may have a slight fishy smell when opened. Rosemary extract, green tea extract, and spearmint extract are natural antioxidants in the food, and their antioxidant effects help maintain health and immunity. This food is excellent for allergy prevention as it uses as few ingredients as possible that are likely to cause food allergies and are not suitable for the digestive system of dogs and cats.

◆ Strict inspection system to ensure high safety

To prevent the risk of contamination by Salmonella, KiaOra® products are manufactured in accordance with the Hazard Management Program (HACCP), an international standard for food hygiene management recommended worldwide, in accordance with the New Zealand Food Safety Agency (NZFSA) and by implementing the necessary quality control throughout the entire process from the receipt of raw materials to the shipment of products, as well as strict inspections of water activity values ​​to prevent the growth of microorganisms. This method allows us to check the quality and safety of each batch of products.
