Ziwi Peak Steam & Dried Cat Food – Wild South Pacific Fish - High Protein, Sk...

I'm very satisfied with the results from switching from Hills Adult Indoor forumla, to Rachel Ray's Nutrish, to now this. My 10 year old girl is an extremely picky eater. I've tried switching her to wet food and raw food to no avail. She is a kibble junkie. She loves seafood flavors: salmon and tuna are favorites. I was so grateful to find that she took to this kibble within a few days of me introducing it. We tried the fish version and that's all we've done so far. Some days she would even prefer to finish all of this kind of kibble, as opposed to her previous Rachel Ray brand, yay! To me, it's worth the overpowering scent, if it means my cat will like something that's healthier for her. I feed my dog a homemade raw diet that I formulate at home with spreadsheets and calculate exact ratios. I wish I could do the same but it was just getting so exhausting trying to convince my cat to eat something healthy for her. So I caved to the high price point and bought a premium brand kibble. She used to shed like crazy super bad. It wasn't always her whole life but ever since she turned like 9 it's just skyrocketed. Now after 2 solid months using this, her shedding has gone way down. I don't get a handful of loose fur every time I try to pet her, and it's stopped being in all my food. Basically, it's gone back to a normal level that she had in her youth, which I thank the inclusion of the omega threes and fish in the recipe for that. She's also struggled with crusty build up in the corner of her eyes, and to me, it seems like that has reduced since the switch to this brand. My spouse hates the smell and I think it smells like fish food, but that's kind of appealing to me rather than absolutely revolting. But it is a very overpowering scent, every time you open the bag. My spouse also claims that it makes her #2 smell horrible, but I don't think they smell any worse than they did before. And if anything, that's just more motivating for me to keep her box regularly cleaned lol. But it is quite the unbearable stink bomb if you're nearby when she drops it. 🤢 Because she is older and very inactive, but has very good self regulation regarding food and hunger cues, she's not overweight. She's at a healthy 7.5 lbs, and she eats probably around 1/3 cup per day of this kibble, so the 1.9 lb bag workd out for us to buy once a month, so our cost is usually $35/mo (lately been able to find it for $28, yay). She loves it and I love it. And it's worth the price to me to know it's so much better for her health. And it's ingredients I pretty much all trust. The only thing I don't really like to see in the formula is the inclusion of legumes, so I hope it doesnt heavily rely on those to contribute to the 40% protein since cats are obligate carnivores. But because the formula includes plenty of taurine, I'm not too worried about it actively creating harm, her body just might not be absorbing as much protein out of it as the label suggests. While I would love to feed her raw in a perfect world, I'm happy with this for now. (2nd image showing her lack of crusty eyes)

My 3 cats absolutely love the Chicken with Whole Mackerel Recipe by Ziwi Peak. I like the fact that it is nutrient dense raw ingredients and does not contain any rendered or dehydrated meats or meals. It contains 90% premium animal ingredients and is gently processed, not overly processed like most other kibble brands. Although it is expensive, it is so worth it. You don’t need to feed as much of it because of the density of the nutrients in the food. I give this to my cats more as a snack, rather than a meal. They do get canned food and some raw food as well. To maintain its freshness after I open the bag, I keep it in the refrigerator. I make sure I get as much air out of the resealable bag as possible. I highly recommend this food. My cats have not experienced any digestive issues at all from eating this food.

My cat loves these crunchies, she is so so picky, but she chooses to eat these consistently. Sometimes even over her wet food... She also has a small mouth & teeth and she can easily chew these and swallow without choking. We purchase this regularly for her, even though it is a little pricier than other foods it seems to be worth it. Additionally she had no issues changing to this food from her previous dry kibbles.

My one cat loves this food. It’s his favorite. My spoiled little bratty catties have a selection of 3 different high end dry foods out at all times because they seemed to get tried of eating the same one every day. That said this kibble is my one cats go to and I’m always refilling the bowl. My other cat is more of a wet food eater but also will munch on this one here and there. I’m very pleased with my babies coats they’re nice and soft and don’t shed very much. Both stay at nice healthy weights and have good muscle mass. They haven’t had any digestive issues with this food and I love that it’s a “novel protein”. I’ve read that some people steer away from this brand since it was bought out by a Chinese company but the actual ingredients are still sourced from the same places they always have been so the quality is the same as always. I love that it’s low carb. Cats are carnivorous and naturally only get a small amount of carbs from their prey’s stomach. I myself am a veterinarian technician and I can tell you that cats that eat higher carb foods are at a MUCH HIGHER risk for diabetes. It’s scary how many dry cat foods have corn in them. Overall I would definitely recommend this food the only downside to it is the price tag but at the end of the day I’d rather spend the extra money on their food then have vet bills that end up costing me way more in the long run. Nutrition is the main thing for a healthy happy fur baby and that is something you can’t put a price tag on.

My cat loves his food and I think she lost weight on it and her coat looks much shiny

We do minimal dry food but when we do we only do this one. Great ingredients and formulation, minimally processed and our cats love it. Highly recommend

Great products from Ziwi Peak! My cats love it, it’s the cleanest, healthiest kibble I’ve found on the market.

Jackson, my elder kitty enjoys and loves his high protein , delicious meal!
