Gidday, how're you going?
Moving right into the silly season as we are, it’s an opportune time to give thanks to my awesome team of staff who have worked hard all year to manufacture and service our products - and, of course, to you all for your ongoing custom. Have an awesome Christmas everyone!

Well, some interesting things happened the other day:

A; it was my birthday,

B; I wore a groovy shirt to work,

C; My wife popped in with lunch and brought the dogasaurus (Poppy),

Gidday, how're you going?

We attended the Auckland Pet & Animal Expo last month, and as always there was a veritable host of all creatures great and small. In true Jimbo's tradition, the Jimbo's crew had a ball and gave out lashings of Jimbo's love. There were heaps of faces of people we knew, which was awesome, and we made plenty of new friends. To all of you who popped in to say 'Gidday', thanks heaps! It's great to be able to connect with our customers.

Gidday,

Where to start? From humble beginnings, the Jimbo's brand created the natural pet food industry in supermarkets around NZ. We started it off as an offering of meat minced into a plastic bag that stores would weigh, price and sell at store level. Fast-forward 20 years and we are now part of the weekly shop for pet food. Cats and dogs all over NZ are living long, happy, healthy lives on Jimbo's - and it's only getting better.

Gidday,

There is an old adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Maybe true and maybe not, but hey, who cares; they are an old dog.

Howdy, how’re you doin’?

Well folks, distressing times in the land down under, our Ozzie mates have gone barking mad I tell you! Click here to see what they're saying about robot dogs replacing real ones!

It was a funny month just gone in my house. As a family, there is my wife, my two daughters and myself, and of course the animals.
Ono the cat, as I have described previously, doesn’t particularly like the dog so generally only comes inside in the evenings and sleeps on the bed. She will take attention from anyone and loves to smooch but is equally happy just to curl up on the foot of the bed. She is pretty cruisy and not too demanding.

I thought I would start with a line from an Ad that used to run for an energy drink and then seamlessly slide it across to Jimbo's. "[A Certain Energy Drink] gives you wings" - we have all seen it, heard it and maybe even a few have tried it. It’s pretty artificial, tastes ok and certainly puts a boot up your fuufi bit with regards to energy when you need it, but eating well will often have the same effect.
