The Heart Behind Pet Deli

At Pet Deli®, family is at the heart of everything we do — and that includes the furry members too.

Our story starts with us, Denis and Berni, we married in 1982 and built a life full of love, animals, and family in Napier. With three children, seven grandchildren, and a home that was always buzzing with pets, our passion for animals and their wellbeing was part of everyday life.

In 1995, we took that passion a step further and launched Four Paws Pantry — a small family-run business dedicated to better pet nutrition. As word spread and more people saw the benefits of feeding their pets real, raw food, Four Paws Pantry grew, eventually becoming the Pet Deli® we know today.

Pet Deli® has been delivering high-quality, raw, preservative-free meals to pets all across New Zealand. What began as a personal mission — to feed our own pets better — turned into a nationwide movement rooted in care, quality, and family values.

We proudly source our ingredients from trusted New Zealand farms, creating meals that give your pets the nutrition they need to thrive — no grains, no preservatives, just real food made with love.

Today, Pet Deli® is still family-owned and run, with the same hands-on approach and commitment that we started all those years ago.

From our family to yours — thanks for trusting us with your pets.
