ZIWI Peak Grain Free Cat Food Tins - All Natural High Protein Pate - New Zealand Free Range Chicken Recipe - 24 x 85g Multipack

Dear Felines of the World, We are writing this review to issue a formal, tail-wagging apology. Our human—who is usually quite sharp with the Māori principle of Kaitiaki (environmental guardianship)—made a grave error 🤦‍♂️. She accidentally bought the ZIWI Peak Mackerel & Lamb meant for you and gave it to us! As dedicated raw-feeders who normally dine on fresh meat and bone, we have a few "critical" barks on why this cat-specific formula became our favourite accidental heist: • The "Raw" Identity Crisis 🧬: While humans argue over whether air-drying "cooks out" the living enzymes (as advocate Rodney Habib suggests), we just think it tastes like the world’s most expensive jerky. It’s miles ahead of standard kibble! • The Training Cheat-Code 🎓: Our human uses these squares for what Dr. Ian Dunbar calls "lure-reward" training. They are the perfect size for snuffle mats and way less messy than raw tripe! • The "Kitty Crack" Close Call 💸: For a moment, our human saw the price of this 400g bag and considered a permanent switch to kitty treats because they seemed a bit cheaper. Don’t panic! 😱 We staged an intervention and persuaded her to buy the bigger, more economical bags of ZIWI Peak Dog Cuisine instead. 🦁 Unleash Your Inner Lion (and Save the Birds!) 🐦 Since you felines aren't quite as "domesticated" as us dogs, you deserve to express your natural hunting instincts! 🐈‍⬛ We highly recommend your owners hide these pieces in puzzle feeders or "indoor hunting" toys. 🧩🐭 Doggy Fact Check: Research from the University of Exeter shows that cats fed a high-meat, grain-free diet—just like this ZIWI recipe—actually bring home 36% fewer wild animals. By getting all your essential nutrients from this "meaty booty," you’ll feel less need to terrorise the local birds and squirrels! It’s a win for your belly and a win for the garden wildlife. 🌳🐾 ⚠️ A Wagging Warning: How to Avoid "Fat-Fat" Syndrome ⚖️ Listen up: this stuff is 96% meat and organs and incredibly calorie-dense. If you eat this like regular kibble, you'll be "fat-fats" in no time! 😹 Use the ZIWI Peak Feeding Calculator to keep your zoomies fast! 🏃‍♂️💨 ✨ Tech-Savvy Tip! For owners with gadgets: these squares work perfectly in the PetCube camera's treat tosser for mess-free remote rewards! The Verdict: We’ve finished the cat pouch, and while it was a 5-star supplement, we are leaving the rest of the "kitty crack" to you! We’re moving back to the big dog bags!

Very very good food and i think reasonable price too considering its the only dry food i have found that isnt full of rubbish. Our british shorthair has this to graze on and has a pouch of purrform for dinner. Yes theres cheaper dry food available but what are you comparing it to thats like comparing steak to beef flavour crisps. This is the steak ofcourse lol.

I've been buying things off amazon for years and this is my first review because I'm so shocked by how amazing it is. I have a very picky cat who was quite poorly since he was a kitten. He has a very low appetite and if I don't put his topper on food he would go a full day without eating. The last time he finished a plate of food was over 6 months ago and he doesn't have big portions because he is quite tiny due to him being ill. It wasn't difficult switching him over to this food and he took to it surprisingly well. Although he still needs a bit of his favourite treat on top to get him started eating he now finishes his portions without any issue. He actually looks to me for more! It is quite pricey but I have spent more buying bags of food he doesn't eat because he is so picky (I've got quite a lot of full bags of cat food now). He was eating quite healthy food before but due to a recent recall I had to find an alternative. I even noticed a greater improvement in his coat, which I didn't think it was possible. He is a very inactive cat but on this food he seems to be more alert and even started playing a little. It's been less than a week on the food and I'm ready to buy a bigger bag regardless of the price.

Bought this for my 20month Main Coon who is very underweight for his age and breed for no apparent reason. He doesn't like it and turns his nose up at it if I try to feed him that alone so I just add a teaspoon to each portion of wet food he has through the day. It's pot luck at the time whether he eats it or leaves it, licked clean of wet meat, back in the feeding bowl. Picky little monkey. He has started to slowly put on some weight though so with perseverance it may or may not be working. It is quite pricey but appears to be good quality although it does smell pretty unpleasant. Going to try the mackerel & lamb mix next time. The addition of fish may just entice him - fingers crossed ;)

Horrible pate styled, expensive cat food. Purchased when Verandi was no longer available. Came in pack of 24 for £42. One sniff and both cats walked away. After throwing away 5 tins gave up. Gave odd tins to cat owning friends. Not one came back and said their cat liked it. A very expensive mistake.

The composition of this food is very, very good, but unfortunately my three cats, none of them want to eat it. I would advise you to buy a small amount to check if your cat will eat it.

This has the best ratios of protein and fats to volume/weight of all the more ethical dry cat foods I can find in the UK. A bit spendy but I rotate it with a couple of other brands across the day/week. so my cats get the benefit but also the variety. Obviously they have wet food alongside as well to ensure adequate hydration and to give them more variety in meats and fish... but basically it's a fantastic product if you can afford it. As there's often crumbs left in the bottom of the bag, save those in a small pot to use as a topper for wet food to avoid waste (of the lambs' life)!

Its literally freeze dried meat so it has no fillers like 99 percent of dry food and it dont spike insulin since no carbs but the bottom of the bag can be dusty as the meat breaks down and your cat might not like the flavour, ours did not like lamb i personally think chicken would be best.

This is a great product, amazing food quality. My cat seems to be on early stages of diabetes and he wants to eat human food and fights you for it, as soon as I changed his food to ZiwiPeak major change, he’s calm down and he isn’t trying to eat human food anymore. A major accomplishment.

I can only imagine that New Zealanders pay half the price for this food (if that!), which is just another reason on a very long list of reasons I wish could move to Middle Earth. But I digress. This used to be the sole food that was tolerable to an IBD cat I had years ago. Back then the bone shards were scary large and I would pick them out, supplementing egg shell powder for the lost calcium source. No pet owner wants to go through that hassle, especially for the price, so I'm relieved to see that the pieces of bone are now small enough to be digested easily. Yes, they're supposed to be there. Why, you might ask. Because Ziwi Peak is one of the only cat food manufacturers that mimics a cat's natural diet via type of ingredients and ratios. You'd have to buy food from a supplier that specializes in raw food diets with the appropriate muscle meat/organ/bone ratio to get a better approximation of the ideal prey diet. House cats have the same GI system as tigers or lions, they haven't evolved the way dogs have. The closer you can get to a natural diet, the healthier they should be. So, anyway, I ended up with two more IBD cats with various food allergies and embarked on a whirlwind cat food adventure in the hopes of finding something that wouldn't cause any issues. Ziwi Peak was tried, cats wouldn't touch it, we moved on to other novel protein-based foods and, still, the vomiting continued. We tried the commercial raw foods in novel protein sources and, still, the vomiting continued. We got a prescription for a hypoallergenic commercial food and it was ok. Vomiting was limited, but the cats needed mega doses of probiotics/prebiotics and egg yolk powder to keep hairballs under control. Eventually the cats began vomiting up the prescription food and I found out that cross-contamination is a pretty big problem in the pet food industry. I started to wonder if the problem wasn't the protein source so much as *where* the food was manufactured. This is when I decided that we'd give Ziwi Peak another shot, but use it exclusively. The cats were less than thrilled with the abrupt change in diet, especially since the healthier food tends to not be as appetizing as the less nutritious chicken and fish in gravy type foods (I mean, come on. That's like saying, "Here, would you prefer this pizza for dinner or a grilled chicken breast and steamed vegetables?" to a person.) You've got to be sneaky with them when switching to a healthier diet. Mine go bonkers for freeze-dried duck liver treats and I decided to use this as an incentive to eat the Ziwi Peak by crushing the treats into a fine powder and sprinkling it over the food. I only had to do this for two days before they started digging into the the Ziwi Peak sans the extra motivation. The new diet hasn't been a miracle cure for my cat with severe IBD, though her condition has improved significantly. It's been far more successful for my cat with moderate IBD. I've been able to cut back on supplements and I'm seeing an all-around boost to their general health. I add a little water to the food and can tell they're no longer dehydrated since the water bowl is rarely touched. They used to drain it, plus 1/4 of another bowl, by the end of the day when they were mostly eating dry prescription food. That's not a good sign. Cats don't have a very strong thirst drive to begin with and chronic dehydration is a common cause of kidney problems later in life. If you change nothing else about their diet, please get your cats off of dry food if you can. It's the worst thing you can feed them. I guess I'll have to keep paying these ridiculous prices for food since it's the only thing that's made a noticeable difference in their health. I'm hoping to use it as a stepping stone to a non-commerical raw food diet. A natural diet in raw form is easiest on their digestion. It's a daunting prospect, but I think we're up for another cat food adventure.

Emballage, livraison... Parfaits. Article parfait, mon chat adore. Je recommande.

It’s the best ! No filler, no weight gain, improved skin and coat , no fuss , eating becomes joyful!!

Najlepsza karma dla kotów z alergią pokarmową i nietolerancją pokarmową.. Od czasu kiedy mój Maine Coon jest nią karmiony nie mamy żadnych problemów z alergią. Najlepsza jest ta z jagnięciną. Czasami mieszam ją z inną suchą karmą (również bardzo dobrej jakości), aby urozmaicić kotu żywienia. Z wielką przyjemnością polecam tą karmę.
