Rawr Petz

Rawr Petz is a locally owned and operated raw pet food specialist company located in Taranaki, and is a retail offshoot of our parent company, Taranaki Petfoods Ltd.

We manufacture our raw food products at our Oakura facility and is the only export licensed Pet food Facility in Taranaki.

We use 100% Taranaki sourced beef (cannot get any better than that) and a variety of NZ wild meat sourced through MPI control programs in the Whakatane District. Our founders and owners, Grant and Jane Kenny, moved from the primary processing of raw pet food to exporting their products internationally, they relocated their factory to Oakura in 2018 to expand their international exports.

Finally, after several years of searching and finding the perfect location, Grant turned his Dream into a reality by opening our Rawr Petz store situated in the Heart of New Plymouth. Of course it was inevitable that Grant and Jane’s daughter, Renae would also join in the family fun by managing the store (also a bit more tech savvy ).

Through the years Renae has been fostering animals and volunteering at SPCA, she also holds a master’s degree in Marine Biology.

Grant is an Accredited Ante Mortem / Post-mortem examiner for pet food and has been in the industry for 12 years and oversees that our products are manufactured the highest standard. Grant also has a great Passion for animals and their wellbeing.

We are so excited to share our passion in your fur baby’s vitality and quality of life.
