ZIWI Peak<\/strong><\/a> offers air-dried food made with the purest, most nutrient-packed ingredients New Zealand has to offer. ZIWI Peak can be fed as a topper, nutritious treat, or a full meal.<\/p>\n

WHY WE LOVE IT<\/strong><\/p>\n

ZIWI Peak sources all of their ingredients from sustainable farms and uses only grass-fed, humanely treated livestock and wild-caught seafood. The ethical treatment of animals and New Zealand\u2019s Five Freedom Principles of animal welfare remain at the core of the brand.<\/p>\n

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

ZIWI Peak\u2019s artisan Z-TWINTECH\u2122 air-drying technique preserves nutrients without preservatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Air-dried food combines the best of both worlds with the convenience of kibble and the nutritional value of raw food.<\/strong><\/a> This means it\u2019s easy to feed, offers peak nutritional value and can be safely stored for up to 21 months.<\/p>\n

The air-dried recipes have a 95% digestibility rate and offer slow-release metabolized energy. This means you can feed your pet less while keeping them full for longer and each bag has a higher number of servings than your average bag of kibble. Plus, smaller portions means smaller poops!<\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>Superfood\u201d has become a mainstream buzz word, but what does it mean for our pets?<\/p>\n

A superfood can be either plant-based or animal-based. Ziwi PEAK offers both. Animal-based superfoods are easily digestible protein sources packed with essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. These meats and organ meats support immunity and heart health.<\/p>\n

Plant-based superfoods are great if they can be easily digested by our pets. It can be difficult for cats and dogs to process cellulose, a naturally occurring source of fiber in many vegetables. ZIWI Peak uses sea vegetation like kelp, which are lower in cellulose than many land-grown vegetables. This allows your pet to get all nutritional benefits of vegetables, minus the tummy troubles.<\/p>\n

THE Z-BOOST SUPERFOOD BLEND<\/strong><\/p>\n

The patented Z-BOOST superfood blend included in every ZIWI Peak recipe offers the ultimate nutritional boost. Every meal contains at least ten percent superfood content from a range of animal and plant-based ingredients.<\/p>\n

COLD-WASHED GREEN TRIPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tripe, the nutrient-rich stomach lining from grass-fed lamb, beef or venison is packed with probiotics and digestive enzymes to support optimal digestion. Pets love the taste and it\u2019s a great option for sensitive tummies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

POULTRY HEART<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rich in vitamin B12, zinc and iron, this highly digestible protein is a great source of taurine, an amino acid that is essential for cats and beneficial for dogs.<\/p>\n

NEW ZEALAND GREEN MUSSELS<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sustainable seafood ingredient is a potent source of glucosamine and chondroitin and omega-3 fatty acids. It supports long-term joint, skin and coat health and has overall anti-inflammatory properties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ORGANIC KELP<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kelp is full of bio-available minerals like iodine, which helps maintain metabolism and can even help eliminate fleas and skin irritation. It\u2019s also full of immune-boosting antioxidants.<\/p>\n

WHO SHOULD EAT IT<\/strong><\/p>\n

While ZIWI Peak offers peak nutrition for most pets, it\u2019s also a great option for picky or sensitive pets that need a little extra attention when it comes to food.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Picky eaters tend to love the chewy texture and meaty taste of air-dried recipes and the 95% meat content is great for pets who are sensitive to carbohydrates. The remaining 5% is packed with essential vitamins, minerals and superfood ingredients like kelp, parsley, chicory inulin and lecithin to boost overall wellness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
