Luxury dog and cat food! What is ZIWI Peak?
Ziwi Peak food is made with plenty of high-quality New Zealand meat, based on a recipe that takes into account the eating habits of dogs and cats, "what dogs and cats originally ate while hunting in the wild." Nothing extra is added, and the natural ingredients are condensed in their natural state.
It also contains 96% fresh raw meat from grass-fed, free-range venison and lamb. This difference shows in the health and longevity of your pet. Ziwi Peak is a nutritious, ultra-premium dog and cat food made with health and longevity in mind.
By creating food that is tailored to the digestive system and physiological functions of your beloved dog or cat, we have achieved an incredibly high digestibility rate.
Bow Wow Place also carries a wide range of additive-free, highly safe dog and cat foods.
This time, we will introduce in detail ZIWI, an ultra-luxury premium food made from high-quality meat ingredients from New Zealand.
1. Features of Ziwi Peak
◆ Ultra-high quality ingredients from New Zealand
ZIWI Peak products are made from 100% meat, seafood and other raw materials sourced from New Zealand, a country where there are no disease-related livestock.
New Zealand is protected by very strict quarantine controls and legal regulations, and the country's livestock are free of epidemics such as BSE and avian influenza, and harmful treatments are avoided.
New Zealand's mild climate allows for natural grazing all year round. ZiwiPeak uses healthy meat such as deer, lamb, beef, and free-range chicken that are raised on natural pastures on contracted farms.
At our contract farms, we also ensure the traceability of raw materials.
All of ZiwiPeak's raw materials are supplied from licensed factories under a constant management system, and it is possible to trace everything from the batch number to the inspection results at each process in the manufacturing plant, as well as the capture time, individuals, and feed of the livestock used for the meat ingredients.
In addition, all our products are USFDA and EU approved.
We also follow strict water activity testing to control microbial growth as part of a Hazard Management Programme set by the New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA), which is based on Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) to ensure food quality and safety for every batch.
◆ No grains, additives or genetically modified crops are used.
We do not use grains, beans or potatoes, which are likely to cause allergies and are not suitable for the digestive systems of dogs and cats.
Since most of what you eat is digested and absorbed, the amount of stool produced is reduced.
Therefore, the amount you feed your dog will be much less than regular dog food. Please refer to the "Feeding Amount Guide" on the package and be careful not to overfeed your dog.
It also contains no synthetic preservatives, colourings, sugar or GMOs.
We do not use synthetic preservatives, coloring agents, or sugar, which can cause allergies and are unhealthy.
This is even covered in the feed used for the raw meat.
All products are also genetically modified.
◆ Amazing digestibility of over 95%
Dogs are very similar to gray wolves (their DNA is 99.8% identical), and cats are descendants of the African wildcat.
That means carnivores like them naturally have sharp teeth and strong jaws that are well-suited to tearing apart and swallowing their prey whole.
Their digestive tract is very short and not suited to digesting plant fiber.
Also, because it is highly acidic, it has the power to dissolve meat and bones, but has great difficulty digesting carbohydrates such as rice and potatoes.
This can also put stress on your pancreas as it tries to digest things you don't need.
In the first place, the raw meat that dogs and cats hunt and eat is high in protein and, because it is never heated, it is rich in live enzymes.
They also obtained the nutrients they needed by eating the organs of herbivores, which contained undigested food.
ZIWI Peak believes that consuming raw meat and organs is necessary for their diet and physiology, and is extremely particular about the ingredients and manufacturing processes used.
As a result, you are able to absorb most of the nutrients from raw meat, which increases absorption and reduces the amount of stool produced.
◆ Air-drying process preserves the nutrients of the ingredients
The slow and careful twin-stage air-drying process combines hundreds of years of natural methods for preserving fresh meat with advanced modern technology.
This manufacturing process eliminates pathogens such as Salmonella and Listeria while protecting the nutrients of the raw materials. Since there is no need to use synthetic preservatives, sugar, or glycerin, it is safe and hygienic, and is highly nutritious and easy to digest. It is a complete nutritional food made from raw meat.

4. Precautions for Ziwi Peak
How to switch meals
Please refer to the recommended feeding amount on the package and adjust according to the activity level and age of your pet. For puppies (kittens) and pregnant/nursing mother dogs (cats), feed about twice the recommended amount in 2-3 divided meals per day.
Try slowly mixing ZiwiPeak into your pet's food over a period of about 5 days. At first, replace 1/4 of the pet's regular food with ZiwiPeak, then gradually increase the amount.
Don't worry if your pet's stool becomes soft or loose during the first week or two. Once your pet gets used to the new food, the stool will become firmer and there will be less of it than before. If the stool remains soft, you may be overfeeding your pet. Keep an eye on your pet and adjust as needed.
You can also feed your pet a combination of air-dried and canned food. Check the feeding amounts for each and adjust the total to the daily amount.
Storage method
Store canned food in a cool, dark place. After opening, always refrigerate and use within 7 days.
Air-dried foods are also stable at room temperature, so there is no need to refrigerate them. After opening, store in a cool, dark place in a sealed container and consume as soon as possible.
◆ Is it safe to give this to puppies or pregnant/nursing dogs?
