A community

Our dogs are an extension of our family and workforce

As owner operators of a family-owned farm and local businesses, we understand the importance of strong community connections. The principle that community is at the core of everything we do—a place for the exchange of ideas, growth and celebration that extends naturally to our pets, who bring boundless joy into our lives. It is also a place of support through tough times, like, drought, raising a family, and running a business. Because of our dedicated team and wider support network, we have been able to remain committed to our key values of quality as well as putting the customer at the centre of everything we do.

Our working dogs are no exception to this and not just members of the family. They are an integral part of our team, without them, we wouldn’t be able to make Claystone Meats the great success that it is. This isn't just rhetoric or exaggeration one dog can do the work of 5 men every day. So, like any hard working family or team member, goes down you support them.

We work hard to provide the highest quality meat, from paddock to plate, delivered through the Claystone Meats butchery, for our customers to enjoy. So, when one of our precious working dogs became sick and unable to work, we had to shift our focus, and what we discovered about the dog food industry, was truly frightening. We become very aware that what we were feeding them was starving them of the nutrients they need and, making them ill.

So, we embarked on a quest to make her well again through researching the science behind whole food nutrition for dogs. We began feeding each of our dogs with a nutrient dense cooked whole food diet. In a few short weeks our precious girl started to improve and has since re-joined the pack and is back out there living her best life herding cows.

This discovery is the reason why we developed the small-batch recipe which is now Pawstone - Food For Every Dog. We are excited to bring a quality nutrient rich food for dogs to the Australian market with the aim to improve the lives of every dog through sound and delicious nutrition.
