ZIWI Peak Wet Cat Food – All Natural, High Protein, Grain Free, Limited Ingredient, with Superfoods (Rabbit & Lamb, Case of 24, 3oz Cans)

The Black Friday deal was great, and this is definitely the most tasty rabbit. My cats love it sooooo much.

FINALLY - a wet cat food with NO: Carrageenan, Sodium Selenite, Menadione (synthetic vitamin K), Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate (tspp), copper sulfate, Agar Agar, Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Sunflower Seed Oil, Canola Oil, Olive Oil, Tapioca Starch, Corn, Rice, Soy, Potatoes, Meals, Animal By-Products, etc., etc. These are ALL pet food ingredients/chemicals linked to cancer, organ/CNS damage, food allergies/intolerances and GI disturbances. The ingredients and chemicals that some pet food manufacturers put in our pets’ food is both atrocious and shameful. Anyway, I have been feeding the wet rabbit and lamb formula to my cats (new formula - did not like some ingredients in the old formula) for a little over a month now. At first introduction, neither cat was remotely interested. I was disappointed as I wanted them to immediately dig in. Determined to make it a part of their diet, I started mixing a tiny bit (teaspoon) in their current food, increasing gradually over the weeks. Both now are eating a full can at breakfast and seem to really enjoy. I may replace some of their other meals with this as well, but will wait a little longer to decide. One thing I will note is that my one cat seems to have developed very hard/dry stools since increasing the intake of this food. I am not positive yet, but I do suspect it’s related to something in the food. I suspect it may be from the bone or chickpeas? I am not too concerned yet, as he was going the other way (loose stools/diarrhea) from eating Weruva. Speaking of the chickpeas…I know that others have mentioned a dislike for the chickpeas (I get it). But there has to be SOME type of “binder” for the food. Alternatives binders are Carrageenan, Agar Agar, Starches, Grains, Gums – all of which are linked to cancer, allergies and GI upset. So…chickpeas please and thank you! Anyway, I am very happy with this food and am so glad it is available. Is it expensive? Totally. But I am more than willing to pay a higher price for quality ingredients (not sourced from China) for my cats. This is, by far, the best food that I have found with regard to the ingredient list. If there is something better or “as good” out there I would love to know (as I do believe in a rotational diet simply b/c I don’t trust ANY pet food manufacturer). If you are reading Ziwi, thank you for providing a quality product and for also listening to customer feedback! I can see from some other reviews that some customers are unhappy with your recent formula change, but in looking at your prior ingredients you made a change for the better! Usually when cat food formulas change, they seem to change for the worse (I’m looking at you Tiki Cat). Also, if you are listening, I do wish you would offer an all poultry or all rabbit option. Or even poultry and rabbit combo. I don’t feed my cats fish and would like another option, with no red meat. Finally, a lot of the cans in my order had large dents (5/12) and I won't feed my cats food from dented cans...Based on the way my package came I feel like they were damaged on manufacturer's end vs. Amazon or during shipment. Amazon was kind enough to help me out with this.

After stumbling on Dr. Lisa Pierson's site "CatInfo.Org" I gained a real eye-opening experience into why main stream cat food was not working for my kitties. ZiwiPeak is a very expensive and premium cat food- a Species Appropriate Diet food, which in my opinion is worth it. There are no fillers unless you get the old recipe that has carrageenan in it, which has been replaced with guar gum. It is one of the highest pure, high quality protein foods on the market with organs, bone, New Zealand green mussel plus vitamins and minerals. I had been interested in putting my cats on a raw food, species appropriate diet but was unsure if investing in the grinder & supplements was the best way to go. Instead, I purchased a premium frozen raw food from Feline's Pride which was major expensive after shipping, which kitty pretty much rejected right away; I was never able to ease him into it. I ended up giving it away to friend with a young kitty who is delighted- AND THRIVING- on it. Still being passionate about getting my obese cat on proper food, we tried multiple flavors of ZiwiPeak & this is the 1 he likes. Because it has bones in it, it can cause constipation in some cats so you have to work around that. It's also high in phosphorus so if you have a cat with renal disease, use caution, not good for advanced CRF. Since it has no carbs, his weight is coming steadily down, as long as I can keep him out of the Friskies kitty crack the old cat will only eat!

Great quality cat food, first time my cat tried it and she started eating it straight away. Hope this product becomes available again soon.

Great product. High quality. My cat loves it!
