ABOUT US

At Nature’s Ki, we believe that great pet care starts with great nutrition. Inspired by the Japanese concept of Ki—often interpreted as spirit or lifeforce—it represents the flow of internal energy that drives well-being. Just like people, pets are unique individuals with their own personalities and needs, but one thing remains constant: the foundation of a long, happy, and healthy life starts with premium nutrition.

As a leading New Zealand distributor, we don’t just supply pet products—we share a passion for pet well-being. Our team is made up of devoted pet owners who have experienced firsthand the difference that high-quality nutrition and care can make. Whether in sales, customer service, marketing, or distribution, every member of our team is dedicated to helping pets thrive. We work closely with trusted retailers, independent stockists, breeders, and vet clinics to ensure pet owners across New Zealand have access to the very best for their furry family members.

OUR BRANDS

We distribute a curated selection of premium pet food, supplements, and wellness products from globally recognised brands. From biologically appropriate nutrition to natural pet care solutions, every product we offer is chosen to support the health and happiness of pets across New Zealand. Explore our brands here.

WHERE IT BEGAN

Nature’s Ki was founded out of a desire to raise the standard of pet care in New Zealand. Frustrated with the lack of quality nutrition, we sought out the best the world had to offer—products that truly make a difference in pets' lives. As passionate owners of Dogue de Bordeaux and Staffordshire Bull Terriers, we saw firsthand the impact of premium nutrition. The transformation in our dogs—both physically and emotionally—was undeniable.

“We saw the difference very quickly in our dogs and knew we were onto a winner—not only in their physical and emotional appearance but also in the supreme integrity of the ingredients.”
— David Graham, Director, Nature’s Ki.

Today, we continue that mission, ensuring Kiwi pet owners have access to exceptional nutrition and care for their beloved companions.
