Our Story

Hello Dog Lovers! We are so glad you found us.

My name is Riesa Renata from Melbourne, Australia, and together with my furry sidekick – Bowie – we are the creator of Master Bowie. I am a certified raw dog food specialist and an avid home cook who loves creating Master Chef meals for my Labrador, Bowie. I am very passionate about inspiring other dog parents to live the best, happiest and fullest life with their dogs through healthy diet and lifestyle.

Having Bowie has certainly opened me up to a new world – DOG WORLD!! He is the inspiration and mascot of Master Bowie. Our journey is a constant learning as we explore the world through our curious minds, and Bowie never stops to amaze me. He constantly challenges and pushes me, but he also gives me unconditional love, loyalty (the food may have contributed to that!!) and passion for dog nutrition, health and wellbeing.

My fresh food feeding journey began over six years ago when Bowie suffered from multiple digestive issues. Determined to find a solution, I switched Bowie’s diet to a fresh food diet, and his symptoms gradually subsided and never returned. This transformative experience, coupled with my love and strong desire to see Bowie live the healthiest, longest and most fulfilling life possible, motivated me to delve deeper into the world of whole foods and dog nutrition. I completed my Raw Dog Food Nutrition course with Dogs Naturally in 2020 and I am currently completing my Canine Nutrition course with Companion Animal Sciences Institute (CASI). I truly believe in the healing power of whole foods and that good health starts with good food.

Master Bowie is a resources hub and an inclusive dog community where you can find –

  • Valuable information from my personal experience and research I have done – from dog training and behaviour to lifestyle, health and wellbeing. Explore ‘Life with Dog’.
  • Inspirational stories of human-canine bond and people in the animal world who are doing amazing things with and for dogs. Check out ‘Bowie & Friends’.
  • A safe, loving, non-judgemental community where all dog lovers can share, learn, inspire, cry and laugh at their pet dog antics and escapades. Master Bowie page also serves as a platform for animal welfare and advocacy where I regularly support, donate and fundraise for dog rescue groups and animal charities.

Much love,
Riesa & Bowie
