Why we're putting quality first...

Cooper's Pet Kitchen

Hi neighbours! At Cooper's Pet Kitchen our food is free of cheap fillers like grains, corn, soy & wheat... but what does that really mean?

It means there’s more protein-packed nutrition in every bite. We’re big believers in quality over quantity so while our food may be a little … View more
Hi neighbours! At Cooper's Pet Kitchen our food is free of cheap fillers like grains, corn, soy & wheat... but what does that really mean?

It means there’s more protein-packed nutrition in every bite. We’re big believers in quality over quantity so while our food may be a little more expensive than some, its nutrient density makes for smaller portions with more readily absorbable nutrients.

Get more bang for your dog’s bite with 50% OFF your first order with code NEIGHBOURLY.

This also means a decrease in what comes out the other end... less 'picking up' what they’re 'putting down' at the dog park if you catch our drift.

Our skies have been coloured by smoke blown over from the Australian bushfires, meanwhile Wellingtonians are just stoked if they get to see the sun.

Hi neighbours,

Are your knees giving you a hard time?

See how Peter Williams found help from using a NZ made relief cream.

After retiring from our TV screens after 40 years, veteran broadcaster Peter Williams, still gets up at 5am each weekday morning to prepare for his morning radio show.

Peter Williams explained, “Look, I’m 65. When I get up the body’s often a bit on the stiff side. “

Peter Williams claims, “Within 10 minutes, the pain was gone. I felt so much better. My body was nice and relaxed, and I was ready to go off and do my day’s work.”

“I’ve been using Relief Fx by Koru Nutrition. It’s New Zealand made, natural and best of all it works .

To all members and interested persons.
There will be a meeting at the new MenzshedHawera shed at the A&P showgrounds Expo building on

Wednesday the 26th of February 2020 at 5.00pm

If you would like to join this organisation, the sub is $50 per calendar year. Due now.
The aim of a Menzshed is to foster a place where men and women of all ages can socialise, impart their gained knowledge and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.
We will be looking to provide the occasional hot roast meal to members, from the kitchen on the premises, as time permits.
At this early stage we are looking to raise money through subs to buy timber for workbenches and rent.
If you are keen to partake in this worthy cause, please subscribe at the meeting.
We already have some machinery, kindly donated by various people and organisations.
Come and have a look.
Thank You
Geoff Coubrough (Chairperson)
