BowWow KauKau - homemade, fresh, local food for the dogs of Oahu! Pssst. Hi. I'm Michele. I want to help your best friend live longer.

BowWow Kaukau is a fresh take on dog food. We start with fresh ingredients, grown right here in Hawaii. With each small batch, we are supporting local farmers, reducing the carbon footprint of our product, and bringing your dog the freshest food in town! Our recipes were developed with holistic veterinarians to provide your dog with the protein, fat, starch, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants th

at will help her live a longer, healthier life. We slow-cook our dog food at low temperatures, which helps the ingredients retain their nutritional value. We are a tiny business, but we are green as heck! From our local ingredients to our recycled paper packaging to our hemp-blend business cards, we're thinking about the environment with every step we take. BowWow Kaukau was founded by me, Michele Bane, a biologist who has professionally worked with animals since 2000. I have worked with two holistic veterinarians, Dr. Robin Woodley on the Big Island of Hawaii and Dr. Ihor Basko on Kauai. I started making BowWow Kaukau’s recipes at home for my dog Diogi in 2009, selling them on Kauai in 2013, and couldn't be more excited to share them with Oahu now!

A message from our Chief Dog Officer Sunny Banjo, and his assistant Patches: Our mom…ahem. Our FOUNDER AND CEO will be off-island from October 2-17. Now is the time to make some extra room in your freezer to stock up on BowWow Kaukau, so you don’t run out in October! It’s also a perfect time to take advantage of our FREE DELIVERY on all orders of 10 pounds or more of this delicious ! 🐶🥘🧡

Aloha, BowWow Kaukau fam!

Can you believe we've been doing our thing for a whole year here on Oahu? We have a few customers who have been with us since the start, and they are reporting results including reduced allergy symptoms, pups eating all their food (when they were previously very finicky), dogs losing weight (when they were previously overweight), silky coats, and smaller, less stinky poops!

I am not a veterinarian, and we cannot guarantee any of these particular results, but we do know that fresh food is better for EVERY BODY than processed, commercial stuff. We can promise you that we're rounding up the best variety of ingredients we can find here on our beautiful island to feed your best friends.

A fiscal year is helpful in business analysis, and we're making a few thoughtful changes that we think will simplify things for us all. Where we previously had three tiers (homemade, organic, and local), with three different prices, we are now just offering one great product. Variety is built into our recipe as always, and we will continue to use local and organic ingredients in abundance. Combining the three tiers and adjusting our pricing allows us to work in SOME local meats while keeping our costs and your overall price reasonable. You can save money by ordering larger containers, and delivery is free for orders of at least 10 pounds.

Current pricing for our fresh, homemade dog food is:

Sample (0.5 lb): $6
Pint (1 lb): $11
Double (2 lb): $20

I will have a variety of inventory for you at these prices, and if you order a bunch, I will usually provide you with a few different blends in your order to keep it interesting, tasty, and nutritious for your furry friends.

If you need a consistently different thing than this variety, that will be considered a CUSTOM blend, you will get the whole batch (10 lbs), and it will cost more, starting at $12/lb.

For example, I regularly switch up the starches in the recipes between rice, barley, quinoa, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Produce costs considerably more than grain, so if you ALWAYS want your recipes to be grain-free, that will be $12/lb, regardless of container size. I'm always available to consult with you on the details of this.

Thank you for helping us bring BowWow Kaukau to Oahu - we can't wait to see what happens next!

Love these tips from Kauai Humane Society!

This Monday, April 8, much of the United States will be experiencing a total solar eclipse, and here in Hawai'i, 20% - 30% of the Sun's morning light will be blocked by the Moon.

Eclipses can interrupt an animal's natural rhythm, may cause them to behave differently, or to perceive danger! For example, some animals might see the temporary darkness and begin their nighttime routine, or "wake up" if they are nocturnal. Sometimes, wild animals will seek shelter, believing that the Eclipse is an oncoming storm.

If you are a pet owner, you may be wondering if you should take any precautions during an Eclipse. Here is our advice!

1. You don't want to encourage your pet to look at the sun or wear eclipse glasses for a cute photo - save that part for you and your human friends!

2. If your pet generally has anxiety around events like thunderstorms and fireworks, this may not be the day to leave them at home alone, or outside! Instead, let your pet know that you are nearby, check on them often, and keep them inside until the Eclipse has concluded.

3. Be safe, have fun, and keep your pets comforted while you experience this rare celestial event!

P.S. You can still adopt Ace and E.T. from KHS, just in time to comfort them on Monday! https://kauaihumane.org/adopting/dogs-available/

Fresh, homemade dog food

Pssst. Hi. I'm Michele. I want to help your best friend live longer. BowWow Kaukau is a fresh take on dog food. We start with fresh ingredients, grown right here in Wisconsin. With each small batch, we are supporting local farmers, reducing the carbon footprint of our product, and bringing your dog the freshest food in town! Our recipes were developed with holistic veterinarians to provide your dog with the protein, fat, starch, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that will help her live a longer, healthier life. We slow-cook our dog food at low temperatures, which helps the ingredients retain their nutritional value. We use reused and recycled packaging, and hope that you will return your packages to us for reuse!
