## Description

The ZIWI Difference: We believe a holistic pet food starts with only the best natural ingredients. Rooted in New Zealand culture, our farmers and fisherman believe wholeheartedly in their role as kaitiaki; or being guardians of the land and sea. Ethical isn’t just a standard—it’s our way of life. Perfect for carnivores, our PeakPrey recipes are rich in meat and organs in authentic ratios, free from unnecessary carbohydrates. Proudly made by passionate Kiwis, nothing delights us more than crafting recipes that bring joy and peace of mind to pets and their guardians.VENISON RECIPE: A moisture rich novel protein recipe featuring only free-range venison, ethically raised on pastures of lush and native grasses in the remote valleys of New Zealand’s South Island, crafted to entice even the most selective cats. FAQsCan ZIWI Peak be fed as a topper or mixed with another food? There’s no wrong way to feed ZIWI, it works great as a complete meal or as a topper for a nutritional boost on your existing food. Why is there sometimes variability in my ZIWI Peak food? ZIWI Peak uses natural ingredients, handcrafted in small batches, featuring high inclusions of meat and organs and excludes artificial fillers, dyes and preservatives. This, in combination other natural factors such as age and seasonality of the ingredients we use, often results in variability of shape, size, color, texture and odor. This variation is perfectly normal and is an indicator as to how natural the food really is!How do I transition my cat to Ziwi? ZIWI Peak is nutrient dense. A little goes a long way, don’t be surprised if you feed less! Introduce a new recipe slowly over 7-10 days, gradually increasing the amount of the new recipe while decreasing the old, until you are fully transitioned. Please refer to our transition guide on the packaging.Can I rotate my cat through different Ziwi recipes? We recommend a gradual transition between proteins, to minimize the potential for digestive upset. Please refer to our transition guide on the packaging.

Review: Good venison. Novel protein. Cats like it - Love that this is just venison jerkey. I have an ibs chicken allergy cat and finding novel protein that has no chicken or anything else is hard. They had a hard time figuring out how to eat it, but now they seek it out. I have to soak it a bit for my ole man. Good quality fresh, I use it with 3 other venison or rabbit foods that have no chicken. Usually good quality venison products go out of stock quick so I needed to have a few options in case one was not avail. This is a favorite
Review: ZIWIPEAK MADE MY SICK AND MISERABLE CAT INTO A HEALTHY AND HAPPY CAT! - I adopted my cat in 2014. Even though I had her on an expensive grain free diet, it quickly became apparent to me that she had some severe medical issues that had not been relayed to me. The worst of these problems were a nasty and chronic anal gland discharge that was making her absolutely miserable. She also had horrible dry, "crusty" patches on her skin. Her fur always looked and felt dirty, and she had horrible dandruff. After a year of routine and painful drainage of her anal glands by Vets, and expensive Vet bills - but receiving no real help from Vets, I decided to take my fur baby's problems into my own hands. I did a lot of reading, and came to the conclusion that she had many food allergies, and needed to be put on a "novel food" program. I did extensive research on cat foods, and after much trial and error, decided on Ziwipeak. I started with the Lamb dry cuisine, although she now also eats the Venison, and sometimes the Mackerel/Lamb. A convenient scoop is included in each bag, so you know exactly how much you should feed your cat each day, according to their weight. Ziwipeak is quite expensive, but since it corrected my fur baby's medical issues, the cost is well worth it to me. After about two weeks on Ziwipeak, my cat had no more anal gland issues! Next, her skin became clear, her fur was silky and smooth, and she had no more dandruff. My cat really loves canned food, and it is also better for cats, but to feed an exclusive diet of a GOOD canned food (at $3.00 or $4.00 a can), it can become extremely expensive. So lately, I have been taking about a heaping Tablespoon of canned food (usually Ziwipeak Mackerel/Lamb or Rabbit), and I mix that with a little bottled water (to avoid chlorine), until it's a slightly "soupy" consistency. I then add in a scoop of the Ziwipeak dry cuisine. If the mixture is too dry, I just add a little more water to moisten. I then warm the food in the microwave for about 10 seconds, or to room temperature. It has worked great. It is healthy for my cat, and it gives her the moisture of canned food. But, most of all, she absolutely loves it, and her medical issues are still a thing of the past! I sincerely hope that my comment will be helpful to other loving cat owners whose cats have similar problems.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will a 14 ounce package last a 10 pound adult cat? I find the feeding guidelines confusing and want to figure out the per day cost. Thanks!**
A: The packaging indicates there are 8 servings per bag for an 11 lb. cat or 9 servings per bag for an 8.8 lb. cat.  However, that would suggest they believe this should not be the cat's sole food source. Printing on the bag indicates:  1)  there are 400 grams in the bag, and 2) 479 kcal per 100 gram.  So 479 x 4 (or 4.79 cal/g x 400g) = 1916 calories in the bag.  A cat needs approx. 30 calories per lb. to sustain its weight, so a 10 lb. cat needs 300 calories.  Therefore 1916/300 = 6.39 days worth of calories to sustain a 10 lb. cat if it eats nothing else.

**Q: Can this be crumbled up? My older cat recently had to have some teeth pulled.**
A: It would be difficult to crumble, since the “cuisine” is quite hard.  I have experimented a lot with this cuisine.  My kitty is 15 #.  I take some high quality canned food (pate’) and mash it in her bowl with a fork.  I then add water to it.  I take the scoop that is provided in each bag of cuisine, and fill the scoop to about the 1/4 level mark with dry cuisine.  I mix the canned pate’, water and dry cuisine together until the mixture is a little watery.  I then microwave it until it is barely warm.  The dry cuisine will soften the longer it sits. You will need to adjust the amounts of canned pate’, water and dry cuisine according to the size of your cat, and how fast he/she eats, since a bowl should not sit out for too long.  My cat will not drink water, so this mixture also assures that she gets her necessary daily water intake.  My cat also suffers from Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Pancreatitis, and allergies - and this food mixture has helped her a lot.  I feed her 4 times a day.

**Q: What are the ingredients?**
A: Here they are: Lamb - Meat (includes up to 3% finely ground bone) min. 56% Lamb - Liver, Lung, Tripe, Heart and Kidney min. 34% New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel min. 3% Lecithin, Chicory Inulin, Dried Kelp, Parsley, Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E)   Vitamins: Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Thiamine Hydrochloride   Chelated Minerals: Iron amino acid complex, Copper amino acid complex, Manganese amino acid complex, Zinc amino acid complex, Selenium Yeast, Potassium Bicarbonate, Calcium Carbonate - See more at: http://www.ziwipeak.com/product/daily-dog-cuisine-lamb-dog-food/?is_iframe=1#sthash.oGpxbAmM.dpuf

**Q: I know you don't have to rehydrate this, but can you?  If so, does it take long?**
A: YOU CANNOT HEAT COMMERCIAL CAT FOOD BEYOND LUKE WARM EVER. it kills the vitamins that are added to the food and makes it an incomplete source of food for your cat.  someone mentioned simmering the cat food and then putting it through a food processor... please don't do that.

### ⭐ This cat food is terribly overpriced.
*by C***H on November 26, 2024*

When I placed the order I saw it was $47.00 plus for 14 ounces. I was sure it had to be a typo, but it wasn’t. The seller was very accommodating and understanding.
