Why trust Crosswell?

Our comprehensive experience with dogs is both substantial and broad. We know dogs

  • Over 35 years in the Animal Control Industry
  • Competed in numerous dog shows
  • Bred Dobermanns
  • Coordinated Dobermann Rescue
  • 14 years of successful ownership and operation of Te Amo Boarding Kennels.

  • Safety and Sustainability

    We have been hunting for a solution to the problem of our four-legged clients (and sometimes our own dogs!) chewing their beds for sometime.

    Aside from the mess, the cost, the inconvenience and the landfill, if they swallow some of the bed, there is a high risk of getting an obstruction which can, in extreme cases, be fatal. 

  • Rigorous Testing

    After spending years trying to find a solution and hitting numerous importing challenges, we discovered ChewProof while we were visiting Australia last year. 

    We have trialled ChewProof beds in our kennels and we absolutely love them! These beds have minimised the safety risks to the dogs and reduced our kennel expenses.

  • Quality Solution

    ChewProof Riplock PVC beds solve the bed destruction problem that so many dog owners and our colleagues in the industry face.

    We were so confident in the product, that we decided to approach ChewProof to act as their official distributor so other New Zealanders and their dogs can enjoy their benefits.
