Life can be tough for dogs when it’s been so long since their last bit of food. 🐶
At Thrive Dog Kitchen, we believe that a healthy diet is the key to a long, joyful life for your pup!
Including foods, like green-lipped mussels, turmeric, bone broth, Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants from the start will help support your dog joints throughout their life.
✨Green-lipped mussels - provides joint health with omega-3 fatty acids and minerals but also provides glycosaminoglycans that support cartilage and joint fluid.
✨Turmeric - has natural anti-inflammatory properties that helps keep joint pain at bay, making it easier for your dog to stay active and happy.
✨Bone broth - the collagen and amino acids in bone broth promote strong bones and flexible joints, ensuring your dog can leap and bound to their heart's content.
✨Omega-3 fatty acids - fish like salmon reduce inflammation and help maintain joint health.
✨Antioxidants - found in foods like berries protect against cellular damage and support overall vitality.
Starting these healthy habits early can make a significant difference in their senior years. As your dog ages adding a joint supplement may be beneficial. To learn more about joint supplements comment JOINTS and we’ll tell you more.
Hey, fellow dog parents! If you're anything like me, your dog means the world to you. I use to feed Jessie kibble until she became overweight. I didn’t know any better, But then, a few years ago I discovered the incredible benefits of adding fresh foods to her diet, thanks to her amazing vet.
Whether you add a sprinkle of fresh food to your dog’s meal or you transition to a completely fresh food diet, let me share a few reasons why this simple change can make a HUGE difference for you and your dog!
Lowers the Risk of Common Health Problems 🏥 Adding fresh, whole foods like vegetables and lean meats can significantly reduce the risk of common issues like digestive problems, allergies, and skin conditions. It's like giving their body a natural boost!
Keeps Extra Weight Off 🏃♀️ Fresh foods are often lower in calories and higher in nutrients compared to kibble. This helps maintain a healthy weight, reducing the strain on joints and the risk of obesity related diseases.
Lowers Cancer Risk 🎗️ Certain fresh foods are packed with antioxidants, which help fight off free radicals and reduce the risk of cancer. Foods like blueberries, carrots, and leafy greens can be powerful allies in your pup's diet.
Better Eye Health 👀 Foods rich in vitamins A and C, like kumara and capsicum, support better eye health. They can help maintain sharp vision and prevent age-related eye conditions.
Adding fresh foods to your dog's diet doesn't have to be complicated. Start with small additions like a spoonful of pureed spinach (Jessie’s favorite!), a handful of blueberries, or some cooked lean meat. Your pup will thank you with a happier, healthier life!

Guess what? There is a very simple way…adding fresh foods.
Let’s talk about simple ways to introduce fresh foods to your dog, so they can live a long and thriving life.
Comment a 🍏 below and I’ll send you my 10 favourite toppers to get you started.
Hey there! It’s me Jessie, Chief Taste Tester (CTT) here at Thrive Dog Kitchen. My mum, aka, Hilary, you may know her as the founder of Thrive Dog Kitchen, asked me to pick my three favourite foods. Seriously! Only three?!!! What is she thinking? 🐶
Now, I know what you’re thinking. You think I’m going to say the Thrive Dog Kitchen products are my three favourite. And I do love them, so there’s no point stating the obvious.😉
In addition to mum’s blends, my taste buds go wild for any of these three foods:
Raw meaty bones (I'm not fussy…I will eat any)
Deer ears
Wallaby
But let's be real, anything that falls on the floor or that I can get my paws on is fair game too! 🐾

It’s a black canvas, rather than a blank canvas.
While this doesn’t look like much at the moment, in a few months time I intend to turn this former lawn into a thriving veggie garden that will produce for our family and for our products. 🍏
The black tarp is there to suppress weeds while I create the design for the area. Then, I’ll work section by section to remove the tarp (I will re-use this in other parts of the property, so it will not go into landfill) and create “no dig” beds with layers of natural materials (cardboard, mulch, wool, manure, compost, pea straw).
Building a “no dig” garden is suppose to keep the weeds at bay and be a less intensive process. It also means, I will be able to avoid using herbicides and pesticides in the garden.
If you are a no dig gardener send me your best tips! 🌱
Ever wondered how adding raw meaty bones to your dog's diet can enhance their health and keep them thriving? I’ve got you covered on the top benefits.
💊 Provide essential nutrients: raw meaty bones are packed full of calcium, an essential mineral dogs need to consume in their diet. The calcium in bones is more bioavailable than synthetic calcium supplements.
🦮 Exercises the jaw: Dog’s mouths are designed to move up and down so that they can rip and tear at flesh. When feeding your dog bone it strengthens the muscles in their jaws.
🐶 Supports clean teeth and gums: Bones naturally help clean your dog’s teeth and gums. While you may still need brush their teeth, the chewing of bones creates a natural and gentle abrasion to keep plaque at bay and their teeth bright and shiny.
🧠 Mental stimulation: Letting your dog chew on appropriate bones stimulates their mind as they chew their way through the bone. To add an extra layer of stimulation, hide the bone in your garden for them to sniff out.
Remember, not all bones are created equal. Avoid feeding your dog:
🚫 Weight-bearing bones
🚫 Machine cut bones, such as pork chops or steaks
🚫 Cooked bones
There is always an inherent risk when feeding bones to dogs. Therefore, always monitor your dog while they are eating bones.
Have a question about feeding your dog bones, ask them in the comments below and I’ll answer them.

Which one will your dog try?
I can only imagine the struggles dog parents of fussy eaters go through to help their dog eat a healthy and nourishing diet.
If your fussy dog's diet excludes fresh foods, then the best thing you can do for your picky eater is to start incorporating fresh whole foods into their diet.
Thrive Dog Kitchen’s whole food supplements are an easy and convenient way to introduce fresh whole foods into the diet of even the fussiest of dogs.
We have 4 simple tips to help you get you started
1. Start with a very small amount of one of our supplements e.g. for a fussy Labrador Retriever (that's an oxymoron ;)) start with 1/4 tsp...yes that is tiny.
2.Thoroughly mix it into their existing diet, so they don't even notice it.
3. If you feed your dog twice a day, introduce our supplements at their morning feed, so if they react it is not during the middle of night.
4. Slowly increase the amount over time until your dog is eating the recommended daily amount.

Meeko () couldn't resist showing off his latest balancing act with our Original Blend!
We recommend eating what’s inside, rather than wear it like a crown.
Welcome to Thrive Dog Kitchen, where we’re making it easy to feed fresh foods to dogs. As the proud founder of Thrive Dog Kitchen, I'm all about ensuring your dog lives their best life. My journey into canine nutrition began with a personal quest to improve Jessie’s health. I dove headfirst into studying canine nutrition, earning Canine Nutrition qualifications from the Companion Animal Sciences Institute and the Feed Real Institute ().
These credentials have empowered me to create products that truly benefit dogs as well as offer nutritional guidance to fellow dog parents. My goal is simple: to create whole food products that are easy & convenient to feed that will promote your dog's longevity and to educate and support dog parents about nutrition in a way that's easy to digest (pun intended!).
Now, full disclosure: I'm not an integrative veterinarian or a PhD nutritionist. I have immense respect for these pros and rely on their expertise to inform and inspire my work.
Join us on the journey as we make feeding fresh foods to dog easy.
Jessie will enjoy a side of our frozen Original Blend along with a goat bone, please! It’s super easy to freeze our blends into moulds, making them a perfect way to top Jessie's main meals.
Serving them frozen adds an extra crunch, giving her jaws a good workout alongside the bone.
Try it out and see if your dog loves it as much as Jessie does!
There are numerous ways to feed Thrive Dog Kitchen blends. You can plop, measure, top, use molds, or try a lick mat. The possibilities are endless.
How do you prefer to feed our blends?
The Winter Blend, might be my most favourite supplement of our product range.
It’s a limited edition whole food supplement packed full of winter vegetables and fruit that is then mixed with a very special bone broth.
We formulated this recipe to include seasonal ingredients that are not in our other blends because of the importance of feeding a variety of foods to you your dog.
Ready for the ingredients?
-Red cabbage
-Beetroot
-Cranberries
-Beef bone broth raised from grass-fed beef here in the Wairarapa ( )
That’s right, it’s a very limited list of ingredients because these are all powerhouse ingredients.
PLUS, all of the produce is New Zealand grown.
Winter Blend is an easy and convenient way for you to feed your dog fresh foods.
Simply add a spoonful or two to your dog’s food. Whether your dog eats kibble, wet, dry or a hybrid based diet, adding a bit of Winter Blend will help your dog thrive.
Already feeding your dog Original Blend and Mushroom Broth, Winter Blend is a great complimentary supplement to them.
If you're looking for an easy and convenient way to add a bit of fresh food to your dog's bowl, Winter Blend is the way to go.
Best to measure your dog in Thrive Dog Kitchen containers. Jessie is 7 containers tall.
How many tall is your dog?
Feeding your dog a fresh food diet will not make them aggressive.
Rather, studies have shown that chewing raw meaty bones releases dopamine, which helps produce serotonin. This in turn helps regulate your dog’s mood, sleep and appetite.
Eating a fresh food diet that supports the gut microbiome has shown to lessen aggression and anxiety as 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut.
When there is a sudden onset of aggression a vet should examine the dog along with a list of possible of causes. A change in diet may be on the list, but for raw food to be the single culprit is unlikely.
If you’re worried that your dog may start chasing after your family cat let me ease that concern. While dog’s have a natural instinct to chase and capture prey, it doesn’t apply to fresh fed dogs as the dog is presented their meal the same way as kibble.
What other myths do you want us to bust? Comment below.
Adding fresh vegetables and low-sugar fruits to your dog will give them a nutritional boost 🍌🥕🥦🍎
Why?
Because, even though vegetables and fruits are to compose a small portion of your dog’s diet, they are important for your dog’s overall health and well-being. In addition to providing fibre, fruits and vegetables provide nutrients, like polyphenols and flavonoids, that are not found in meat based foods.
The small amount of fruits and vegetables help support healthy digestion and improve your dog’s gut microbiome. Fruits and vegetables can be mixed into your dog’s diet, fed as a treat or given as a topper to their meal. Do you feed your dog fruits and vegetables? Let us know below.
Incorporating fresh foods into your dog's meal does not have to be costly.
There are simple and cost effective ways to add more fresh foods into their meal.
These are just three cost savings tips that you can implement today.
1. Blend vegetable and fruit scraps, that would otherwise go into the compost, onto their meal every now and again.
2. Add a spoonful of our blends to your dog's meal 3 meals a week, rather than every meal.
3. Buy frozen vegetables and fruit when they are on special to blend and spoon onto your dog's meals.
When your dog eats more fresh foods they will enjoy the health benefits along with the great taste of freshness.

The truth about mushrooms and dogs. 🍄 YES! Mushrooms are safe for dogs AND are full of health benefits.
Mushrooms have properties for both preventative and proactive care. They are known to support existing health conditions.
More specifically mushrooms are known to help with the following:
🐕 Balance the immune system
🐕 Nourish and protect the gut, as they are prebiotics
🐕 Promote longevity
🐕 Control inflammation and blood sugar
🐕 Can aid in cancer prevention
Mushrooms I recommend include, but are not limited to:
🍄 Oyster
🍄 Portobello
🍄 Shiitake
🍄 Porcini
For yours and your dog's health stay away from foraging for your own mushrooms, as you may collect a poisonous mushroom.
Want to learn more about the benefits of mushrooms and how to prepare them for your dog head to Thrive Dog Kitchen’s blog (link in bio) to learn more.
The journey to feeding fresh foods is full of twists and turns. We have learned a number of things along the way that we want to share with you.

🤫Confession time.... ....when I was a kid I once tried my dog's kibble. 🤢Gross??? Yes! It was very gross and I get a bit squeamish even thinking about it now. I clearly remember opening the cupboard where our dog's bag of kibble was stored, reaching in, pulling out a small handful of the brown pellets and popping them in my mouth like candy. 🍭But, they certainly did not taste anything like candy. It was probably one of the most disgusting things I have ever tasted. Sadly, I didn't try to convince my parents to stop feeding our dog this stuff. I wish I did. I wish I knew then that I know now about dog nutrition. That's all good, because now I get to not only help our girl, Jessie, but your dogs too with my knowledge and more. Ok, so who else has tried kibble? 🙏Please don't tell me I'm the only one. Send me a DM....I know you want to. #thrivedogkitchen #kibble #dogfood #rawdogfood #dogsupplements #iatekibble #aboutme

Original Blend is here to help your dog thrive. 🐾 In a 2005 study conducted at Purdue University on Scottish Terriers, the results showed that adding fresh vegetables to dry commercial kibble actually prevented and/or slowed down the development of transitional cell carcinoma (aka bladder cancer)! 🐾 The dogs in the study ate a diet of commercial dry dog food. Some of the dogs were fed an array of vegetables at least 3 times a week in addition to the dry commercial food. 🐾 The results - dogs that ate green leafy vegetables, like broccoli, had reduced the risk of developing bladder cancer by 90%. The risk reduced by 70% for dogs that ate yellow/orange vegetables. This is why we made Original Blend. To help make it easy and convenient for you to feed your dog fresh foods, so they can live a long and healthy life. 🥦 We formulated our recipe to include green and yellow/orange vegetables because we know how they'll benefit your dog.

You love your dog. And, you want them to live a long and healthy life. Did you know that feeding your dog green vegetables three times a week may reduce their chance of being diagnosed with certain types of cancer by 90%. We created our Original Blend to make it easy to feed your dog those cancer fighting vegetables. The Original Blend is packed with all the yummy goodness for your dog - fresh, local, organic, leafy greens, anti-oxidants, gut support, joint support and more. If you're new to feeding fresh foods to your dog, our Original Blend is a convenient way to start. Our blend comes frozen, which you defrost and spoon on top of your dog's meal. If you're a regular fresh feeder this a great way to add some variety to your dog's meal. It's also a great back-up just in case you run out of your own mixes. Whether you are starting your fresh feeding journey or you're a regular fresh feeder we are here to help and support you on your fresh feeding journey with your dog. 📚 Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16013542/ #thrivedogkitchen #guthealth #dogguthealth #originalblend #healthydogfood #healthydogfoodnz #healthydogs #freshfeddogs #raw #antioxidants #supportsmallbusinesses #buylocal #buylocalnz #smallbusinessnz #caninenutritionnz #womanowned #womanownednz #nourishtheirbelly #wairarapa #greytown #wellington #wellynz #kapiti #kapiticoast #manawatu #nzmade #nzmadedogfood #dogfoodnz #wholefoodsupplements #dogsupplements #supplementsfordogs
We made a video!!!! Check it out to learn why we started Thrive Dog Kitchen and what we're all about. As someone who is not a professional videographer, I'm pretty happy with the end result. What do you think? And, now for the thank you's - 💥 A big thanks to my gorgeous girl, Jessie, for behaving so well during the shoot. Filming with animals adds a whole other level of complexity. 🎉 Another big thanks to my husband who played the roll of camera crew, director, audio expert and more. 💥 To my daughter, Francesca, who had to practice her "quiet" skills. . . you were awesome tiptoeing around to collect your toys. 🎉 And finally, thank you to my dear friend Polly @speech.teacher, who loaned me all her camera gear. I can only imagine the quality of the video without it.

Dear Jessie, Today you turn 10 years young. Happy birthday sweet girl!!! You are still full of energy, always up for a walk, ready to eat at any time, happy to hunt for a bone in the backyard, snuggle up on the couch or bed and the protector of your family even when it's not your job. I still remember the day you arrived into our family. Within 12 hours you gave me my first lesson in what it's like to be a dog guardian to a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. You have taught me so much about what it means to be a dog and a dog guardian. You have challenged me in so many ways through the years. Thank you for those challenges because if you were an "easy" dog I would not have learned how to respect you as dog. You have made me laugh, cry, frustrated, proud, happy and pretty much every feeling in between. You have me wrapped around your paw, probably all four paws. We are very lucky you are part of our family. We can only hope that we have many more years to spend with you. You make our family complete. On this birthday we hope you have day full of yummy food, long walks, extra snuggles and lots of love. A massive thank you to Teresa Borrell for entrusting us with one of her beloved chessie. Love, Your human mum #chesapeakebayretriever #chesapeakebayretrievernz #nzChesapeakebayretriever #chessies
