## 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. MACKEREL & LAMB RECIPE: The best of New Zealand’s land and sea. Wild and sustainable blue mackerel from the remote waters of New Zealand’s North Island and grass-fed lamb, raised on a diet of lush grass and clover. A delicious combination in a moisture rich recipe 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: GREAT for ferrets! - Our two ferrets have been eating Wysong Epigen since we got them, but I was never really happy with it as the ingredients didn’t seem like they were actually that great for ferrets (a lot better than Marshall’s, of course, but that’s not saying much at all) and our girls just don’t seem to like it. They eat it, but they clearly don’t love it and they end up throwing a lot of it out of their bowl. I want to feed them a much healthier diet, but I’m still learning and don’t understand enough yet to start making a raw diet for them by myself so we got this as an intermediate step. Started mixing it in with the Wysong, and they were actually eating more of their food instead of throwing it overboard. Now, they’re mostly just eating this (along with hearts and such a few times a week) and they’ve never thrown a single piece of it out. They get SO excited when I go to fill up their bowl with it, and they’re eating SO much more than they did before. I wish the price was a lil lower, but you get what you pay for and in my case, I’m getting a lot: peace of mind knowing that their nutrition needs are better taken care of than what I could provide at the moment, the convenience of not having to make it myself, and two happy ferrets. It’s worth it. It’s funny to see our cats and our dogs come running when the bag opens, too — we use this strictly as ferret food, but the other animals seem pretty interested in it as well so I may get some to use as treats or just for sprinkling on top of their food. Note: the mackerel and lamb smells EXACTLY like fish food to me, and it’s pretty strong. I don’t love it, but it’s not for me and i only have to smell it when I’m opening the bag so who cares? 🤷🏼‍♀️ The fact that it has a strong scent is actually a bit reassuring — it just wouldn’t sit right if a raw/“natural” product was odorless.
Review: Makes my cats act like kittens again! - I've read about the benefits of feeding cats raw food for a while but never had enough freezer space to order bulk meat for them. After some research, we picked this to test with them, since it's essentially "raw" meat jerky bits. We weaned them off their old food and onto this. Within a month, they were more playful, had better eye clarity, and didn't have urine crystals anymore (we were feeding them prescription urinary diet food since male cats get urine crystals sometimes, and it wasn't fixing the issue, despite no food besides the prescription diet). Raw food has no fillers, is natural for a carnivore diet (like cats need), and can be mixed with supplements (like fish oil, algae, quail eggs, lysine, etc.). The food is a little expensive if you have more than 1 cat, but genuinely I've seen so many (positive) changes in our cats' behavior and health, that it's totally worth it. The vet said if it's working for them, they don't need the prescription processed food anymore and it's better for their teeth because it isn't hard food bits, it's soft dried meat. I've told all our cat owner friends about it since it's a great solution for a raw cat diet without the hassle of giving cats raw meat.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT for ferrets!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Took a little but now they love!
*by M***W on October 18, 2024*

Our two cats are flourishing on this stuff! They came from wet food and so when started on this we gradually did with wet food. At first they didn’t want anything to do with it until one day that’s all they had to eat and it’s been good ever since. They still have a wet food dinner but while I’m at work they are getting this through automatic feeder. What I love about this brand is that their site as an actual personalized calculator that when putting in your cats weight/age/if neutered or not - it will let you know more or less what their feeding amount should look like. This is a very rich and calorie dense and so you might think it’s expensive but not really as you don’t use the same amount as you would say kibble or certain wet food. Mines have about 20-24g 3 times during day and their wet food at dinner getting their recommended calories for the day. Love that this isn’t like the freeze dried food that has to be hydrated with water or broth - this doesn’t need to be hydrated due to how it was dried. Has consistency of beef jerky. They get plenty of hydration from the water they drink from water fountain so no issues there. My cats are more content after eating this and we have seen big changes in appearance. Our gray cat’s fur especially was looking a bit dry and dull and now his fur is beautifully shiny and smooth. Our little one was never content and now he’s good after his meals keeping him at the right weight as his breed is known for getting overweight easily. We are sticking to this one here!
