After my cat was diagnosed with lymphoma, I spent many hours researching cat foods and what my cat's new diet should be. One specialist vet had provided the guidance, "red meat, canned, variety, low carb, don't do raw", while the other had said "hypoallergenic" which can mean among other things "novel protein". My cat was used to free feeding on the corn-filled prescription dry food that my regular vet had recommended, which turned out to be a terrible mistake, but was very convenient. When your cat is sick and losing weight, the last thing you want to do is let them go hungry for several hours until you wake up or get home and open a can for them, and canned food dries up and goes bad in 2-3 hours. This Ziwipeak semi-dry food has been my solution, the only dry food I still serve him. Because it is lamb, it counts for us as a "novel protein" -- a red meat he was not exposed to before his diagnosis (I'm not sold on the merits of an exclusively "novel protein" diet, but believe that expanding his diet to include them has been beneficial). It is grain-free and low carb; the nutritional breakdown I have for it is 28% protein, 64% fat, and 8% carbohydrate (moderate protein, high fat, low carb, which is a really good combination for an elderly or sick cat). It has a shelf life of 8 weeks, and is calorie-dense, so even though the bags are small, they are the right size for my situation. My cat does not get wide-eyed excited about this food, and it's rarely his first choice when given choices, but whenever he is hungry and there is nothing else available, he is always willing to eat this, it's good for him, and most importantly it has never given him diarrhea or made him vomit (which is impressive when talking about a cat with gastrointestinal cancer that is on chemotherapy) so for that I give it A+. This is a 100% independent review; I did not receive any free samples for this review, and I do not have any relationships to the makers or marketers.

Since it’s air dried, not kibble.Took my cats time to get used to it. I mixed in with kibble at first. Healthier than kibble but expensive

Except for the cost, would give it 5 stars. Cat likes it pretty well, but we only use it for a part of his diet (he gets fancy feast classic chicken for his main diet). We feed this dry and give our cat about half a scoop every night when we put him to bed each night in the basement. He also gets some freeze dried chicken with it, but would not cooperate with just the Ziwipeak. That tells you that this product is edible but not considered a treat by our finicky boy.

I've been feeding my cat Ziwipeak for about a year now. ZP treated my cat's initial weight issues and cat acne issues with her old Hill's dry food, which were my primary concerns. She looks much healthier now with a soft and shiny coat. My cat cannot have wet food because she is allergic to every kind I have tried -- but all she wants is wet food! As a compromise, I soak ZP in a bit of water for a few minutes before feeding. She seems to prefer this, but some cats may like it better dry. SOME DIFFICULTIES: My cat actually took to ZP quickly. However, the second the food was remotely stale, she turned her nose up (this was my own fault -- too many bags were open at once). She did throw up a few times. Sometimes she eats too quickly in general. It also happens if her bowl is too low to eat from. According to the ZP calculator, I was afraid I was feeding her too little and worried a lot about portion sizing. My 10 lb cat eats about 1.5 oz or so daily -- I could not get her to eat more than that even if I free-fed her. Because of her allergies, her treats are expensive and therefore rarely given. OTHER COMMENTS: Since this food is a compromise for wet food, adding toppers really seems to make a difference. I use freeze dried chicken sprinkles (Life Essentials by Cat-Man-Doo brand); other reviewers have used bonito flakes too. I also add Plaq-Off a few times a week for her teeth -- she doesn't seem to notice or mind because it blends right in. If ZP dry (or any dry food) is your main food, a water fountain is kind of required in my experience (I use the PetMate kind).

I hate having to write this review but I think this will contain essential info every cat owner needs. When suddenly both my Turkish Angora siblings would not touch the newest canned version of Venison, I did some research because they had always LOVED this food. I sent an email to Ziwi customer service: no, the recipe is the same, however they changed the dry recipe in January. But, if they hadn't changed the canned recipe, why would my cats not eat it? They had eaten and loved this brand for over two years since I realized that they are both allergic to chicken and fish. It was my salvation! The message from Ziwi said that some deer have different qualities and that is reflected in the canned food. OK, but, why didn't my cats reject some of the food earlier? Then, I did more research. Ziwi Peak was "acquired" in February 2022 by a Chinese Private Equity Firm, FountainVest, for $1 BILLION. Now, the charm of the original Ziwi Peak was the food was the best ever. It was started in 2002 by a deer hunter in New Zealand. Now, 21 years later, it was sold for an amazing $1 Billion. And, now, my cats wouldn't eat the Venison. Of course, the email from Ziwi said the food would absolutely stay the same, be manufactured in New Zealand. But they hoped they could really make this a popular food worldwide for cats. Obviously, the issue is a quality issue and there is a long, horrible history of Chinese companies replacing ingredients in medicine and pet foods that actually kill people and pets. So, be careful with your pet. I personally, will never buy any Ziwi food again, knowing this history. BTW, the new name is Ziwi Limited.

I recommend there’s only as treats, definitely not as food. First these pieces are basically like a beef jerky, so the idea of it not being served with water is ludicrous because it’s dried and cats should receive all of their water or most of it from their food. So it’s not surprising that one of the other reviewer‘s posted about their cat having urinary problems… That’s because they were dehydrated which is quite common. The quality of the ingredients seems excellent, they loved the flavor, the idea is fine and I’m glad that they didn’t try to create something using glycerin, but one of my cards gobbled them down without chewing probably because they were hard even after soaking them in water for several hours which they then did soften up to our jerky like consistency… The other one did she read a bit and then threw up later on the whole chunks. Again the ingredients are great, and I would rather see this as a freeze dried product with suggestions to add water to it. I would then definitely buy it. With that said, the directions for water or liquid use with freeze dried food I have found or also problematically low. Other brands suggest a tablespoon or so and I find that it requires at least 2 to 3 times that, and to be soaked overnight or at least for several hours. And you need to always break them up. So having these little bits from this brand with these very high ingredients that are much higher in quality than most of the dehydrated foods out there, would be a great thing to see. So just be careful if you are feeding us as food, and I found again that after even overnight soaking in water it’s still only became a firm jerky like consistency and did not hold or retain the water in the sense of becoming like fresh meat. I hope they company reads this and takes it into consideration

I loved these ingredients as they are actually all meat and don't have binding agents to shape the food into pellets. I tried giving my baby Dr elseys first, since it was alottle cheaper and had good ingredients, but MooMoo hated those pellets. She's eat around them to get to the Purina pro plan we mixed in to transition her. So I tried this and as soon as I put it in her bowl she satarted scarfing it down even though she wasn't hungry. It's a hit! There's only 8 servings a bag for almost $25 so I will probably be mixing this with something a little cheaper to make it last. I wish I had known about this food with my last cat who developed diabetes. He would've thrived on this food with its 0 carbs.

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.

My cats are both dry food addicts and I've tried and failed to transition them to wet food many times. Thankfully they love this food, which although still dry, is loaded with meat and organs. I only wish it wasn't so expensive.

アタリメのような香りがします 室内飼いや運動量の少ない猫への給餌量は「こんだけ？」な量になるが、体重に対する必要カロリーとタンパク質量ピッタリだし、与えてる時は夜中のハラヘッターがなかった よく考えられたフードなんだと思う とにかく肉なのでうんちが大変臭くなるが、吸収率が高いだけあって量は少ない さりとて便秘になるわけでもない 高いので常には与えられないけれど、たまに買ってあげたい

My cats love to eat this! It help them gain so much weight and make them happy!

My cat didn't want to eat it at first but she started when I mixed it with her old food. Now, after 2 days she loves it!
