Hello Dog Parents! 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 canine nutritionist, raw dog food specialist, author of two dog recipe books and dog chef who loves creating ‘Master Chef’ meals for my Labrador, Bowie and other dogs. I am very passionate about inspiring and empowering dog parents like you, so you can nourish your dog with a nutritious whole foods diet, one bowl at a time.
Having Bowie has certainly opened me up to a new world – CANINE HEALTH & NUTRITION WORLD!! He is the inspiration and mascot of Master Bowie.
Our fresh food journey began over seven 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 and Canine Nutrition course with Companion Animal Sciences Institute (CASI).
Food is more than just fuel. It is information that triggers a whole host of metabolic processes and release of hormones. I truly believe in the healing power of whole foods and that good health starts with good food. For me, good food should taste good, look good and make our dogs feel good – physically and mentally. I strive to make good food, not only for Bowie but also for other dogs. The food we feed our dogs should nourish both their bodies and souls, evoking joy, pleasure, connection and love. Seeing our dogs relish their meals with enthusiasm and excitement is truly rewarding and fills me with joy.
Our fresh food journey is a constant learning, un-learning and re-learning process as I am dedicated to becoming a better guardian for Bowie. On our “Resources” page, you will find a wealth of dog-friendly recipes, information on dog diet and nutrition and articles about dog health and wellbeing, as well as life with dogs. You can further explore dog nutrition and learn how to make your own dog food by purchasing our “Recipe Books” and “Recipe Packs”. Having the knowledge is power, and understanding what goes into your dog’s food empowers you to make the best choices for their health and wellbeing.
Master Bowie is a safe, loving, non-judgemental community where we can all share, learn, inspire and empower each other to become the best versions of ourselves as guardians to our pets. We know the difference dogs make to life, so let’s celebrate this. Join Master Bowie community and our mission to better a dog’s life, one bowl at a time!

Much love,
Riesa & Bowie
