Why Local Pet Food
About Local Pet Food
We’re Local — a no-nonsense pet food brand straight from the paddocks of North Canterbury. Our duck and turkey is raised by real Kiwi farmers. No additives, no fillers, no weird bits you can’t pronounce — just honest, high-quality meat your dog will love.
We’re North Canterbury farmers who believe your pets deserve real food — the kind we’d be proud to feed our own dogs. We raise our own duck and turkey, can it locally, and keep it simple: no nasties, no shortcuts, just good honest meat.
NZ-Grown Meat
Our birds are raised with care, processed locally, and canned fresh. It’s simple, clean, and full of everything your pet needs — and nothing they don’t.
When you feed LPF, you’re backing local farmers, local jobs, and real food made the right way. No fluff, no shortcuts. Just good meat, from our farms to your dog’s bowl.
Family Business & Quality Control
We started LPF because we were sick of seeing “premium” pet food packed with junk or sent from half-way across the world. As farmers, we know what good meat looks like — and it shouldn’t need a chemistry degree to read the label.
Our vision: More pets eating better, more people backing small NZ producers, and less processed rubbish on the shelves.
Our mission: To grow and produce top-quality pet food using ethical farming, local processing, and zero compromise on ingredients — feeding pets the way nature intended.
