About Us

At our Collingwood cafe, we’ve created a unique destination that puts dogs first.

Our off-lead play area is a safe and social space where your dog can run free, meet new friends, and enjoy being a dog, all while you relax with a coffee and a slice of cake. Inside, our retail store is stocked with everything you need for life with a dog - from premium leads and harnesses to enrichment toys and grooming essentials.

But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to canine health through natural feeding. As raw food specialists, we prepare our own raw dog food blends fresh on-site, using high-quality, human-grade ingredients.

Whether your dog needs a balanced everyday mix or a blend tailored to sensitive stomachs, we’ve got a nutritious option to suit.

Our team is passionate about educating dog owners on the benefits of fresh feeding - from shinier coats and healthier digestion to boosted energy and stronger immune systems.

We also offer a wide range of Australian-made dehydrated treats that are single protein, free from preservatives, and packed with natural flavour - perfect for training, enrichment, or simply spoiling your pup the healthy way.

Our outdoor cafe is the perfect place to unwind while your dog enjoys some off-lead fun in our secure and social play area.

Open Thursday through to Sunday, it's a welcoming space where dogs can run free, make new friends, and just be dogs - while you relax with a coffee and a slice of cake.
