The term’s been in the news a lot for humans, so I wanted to dig deeper when it comes to pets. You (and Dexter) will be glad to hear that our freeze dried, single ingredient treats are definitely not UPF, but what should you be looking out for?
You can read more in the doggo bloggo on our website, link in bio.

Did you know that marine fish skin is a great source of collagen? This powers up your pup's skin and connective tissue. That's why we leave the skin on our South Pacific Hoki 🐟

Dog treats: But make it art 🎨 We strive to make the best dog treats humanly possible, and like to think there's art inside the pack too!
We've done some redecorating - but we're still the same underneath it all 🎨 Grass Fed Beef Liver now comes in a purple packet, and we've updated the name. Gourmate Liver will always be quality locally sourced beef, and it'll often still be Angus, but updating the name allows us to ensure we can always select the best export quality liver as our sourcing requirements grow. As always, we're happy to answer any questions below or in our DMs 😃
Introducing Alpine Freshwater Salmon Fins 🎉 We have pulled out all the stops with this one, mates! Not only are these Salmon Fins chunky and packed with omega-3s, but we have sourced the very finest Salmon in Aotearoa raised sustainably in Alpine Freshwater without the need for antibiotics or pesticides. This means you can feel better about what you're doing for your pup and the planet. Gourmate Alpine Freshwater Salmon Fins will be in store from Monday 2 May 💪
Kia ora mates. It’s Steph & Laura here with an update for you on our new recyclable packaging. Over the next month or so our packaging will be changing to soft plastic recyclable for all our treats. I’ve spent the past 6 months talking to packaging suppliers, experts, associations, & other businesses around the world and have learnt that as we grow, expanding our factory production and exporting more, compostable is no longer doing the trick… The key reasons are that internationally there is not as much composting so it ends up in landfill or contaminates recycling streams (we know that happens in NZ too) and it’s less reliable when it comes to protecting the product (ie. if a container ship got stuck in a hot climate we might have to throw out our entire shipment, and that would be far worse for our environmental impact because of the resources used for animal protein). Experts say that packaging is 10% of a biz’s carbon footprint, so it’s equally important to be efficient with production, storage, and transport/freight - all of which this new packaging allows us to do better. We are watching packaging innovation with interested and look forward to using improved options in the future. So that’s the short version. I’m going to have info on our website about how and where to recycle, and also a Q&A about this change. So, what do you want to know? What should we have in our Q&A? We know some people will be disappointed but we are confident we’ve made the right choice for 2022, and I’m happy to answer any questions. Thanks for your time.
