Our Inspiration
Woof, I'm Boaz! I am a 3-year-old Rottweiler-Doberman mix living my best life with mom and dad in Auckland, New Zealand.
Mom said I eat too fast, just like many other friends of mine, and I sometimes vomit afterward. I also like to gulp water down quickly because I chomp on it just like my food - but that means I spill water everywhere in the house and then mom and dad have to clean up after me.
Mom said she had been struggling to find good options that work for me. She thought a lot of dog parents might be facing the same 'problems'. Therefore mom created Augie to connect with other dog parents like herself.
I use all the products from Augie, the Pup Cup is my favourite! Reach out and ask me any questions about them.
I hope you like Augie too!
Our Story
Welcome to Augie!
We are a New Zealand-owned business that is passionate about your dog's health
and longevity.
We want to create a place NZ dog lovers trust to find the products they need to invest in their dog's long-term health.
Every dog owner wants to provide their canine family member with the best life possible - and there is no better place to start than with your dog's daily eating routine. In addition to the quality of their food, making sure your dogs eat calmly and slowly makes a big difference to their health over the years.
Dogs eat 7 times faster than humans. Their fast speed of eating can lead to digestive issues such as gas, bloating, and vomiting or even Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV), which has become one of the leading causes of death in dogs - particularly larger breeds.
Dogs eating dry kibble tend to consume large quantity of water quickly after consuming their food due to its dryness. This can cause the consumed kibble to expand quickly in the dog's stomach which can cause further stress for the dog.
We saw limited options in the New Zealand market for high quality products that help dogs eat and drink calmly and slowly while also being aesthetic and easy-care for their dog parents.
Our long term goal is to create a trusted brand that's focused on enhancing the health and longevity of our beloved dogs. We aim to provide you with all the tools and information to help you to be one step closer to having a 'forever' dog.
Why Augie
The brand Augie is named after the longest-lived Golden Retriever in the world. We hope our products can help your dog develop better eating and drinking habits and give you peace of mind.
Our Mission
We aim to provide quality products that dog owners trust to help their dogs eat and drink slowly, and ultimately have a healthier, longer life.
By providing functional, beautiful, and quality easy-care products that also help reduce water spills and messes on the floor after feeding - we want our customers to enjoy our products as much as we know their dogs will!
