ZIWI Peak Air-Dried Dog Food, Beef, Grain-Free, 1 lb

I saw Ziwi Peak a few years ago at a local Pet Store, but avoided buying it due to the cost at the time which was much lower than it is now, in retrospect I didn't buy it because I wasn't really educated on the proper diet for Dogs, which is a common problem in this day and age, but with the Internet people are becoming more educated. Initially when my Dog was a puppy and into a few years of age, we stuck with Purina Puppy Chow and then tried several Pet Store brands some not so good and what's advertised on TV, big brand names and some obscure brands sold only online, all of which contained grains, carbs and veggies among a mix of meat proteins and God knows what else. A number of years ago after my Dog had some health issues for bladder infections, the Vet prescribed a food just for that reason, very expensive and after further education I saw the #1 ingredient was Corn, after feeding my Dog this for a month or so, I stopped. I took it upon myself to feed higher quality pet foods and the issue went away and never returned. I also got a new Vet. Dogs are carnivores based on their non-domesticated ancestors, sure they can eat some of it, but having it as their main diet or a high %, is not what nature intended for them. Over the years since, I tried several higher quality brands in an effort to curb some paw licking and chewing that a became frequent, Vet said there was a yeast infection and mentioned it could be food. I went to Grain Free, I tried many different brands, Wellness, Taste of the Wild, Nutrisca, Orijen, Acana and Fromm to name a few. I actually lost count of all the foods I tried, I removed Chicken from the diet thinking there was a Chicken Allergy, helped a little but paw licking and nibbling continued. Also my Dog had a yeast issues as I could still smell it very faintly. There were times when the food totally was a loss of interest and would not be finished at dinner time. I then switched to a grain free all fish diet, for a while, tried a couple other brands, Zignature being the last, but I had to stop due to the % Sodium. I then received word from the Vet that my Dog has early stages of congestive heart failure, which requires daily meds now to manage. I also, on my own, began to research and also blamed myself for the diet I was feeding. I read that diets low in Taurine and also diets that are Lamb & Rice based can cause deficiencies in Taurine. Along with this, it's imperative that dog's with CHF be given a low sodium diet, most dog foods on the market are loaded with crap on top of Salt, like why is it needed? Some sodium perhaps, but high % of it or just plain old "Salt" listed in the ingredients, is too much. So after blaming myself for the condition my Dog had, I went on a search to find a low sodium food that met my requirements, I tried a few, but most were still too high in Sodium % or did not even list it, after reaching out to them via e-mail I found out most were too high. I then found Ziwi Peak, and their website is very clear, shows the sodium and also added Taurine benefit which my Dog needs, I ordered a small bag and fed it mixed in for a week, noticed how my Dog devoured it and left the old kibble for last or didn't even want to finish it. This led to another bag and another, eventually I had switched over to Ziwi Peak 100%. It's been over a month now, my Dog looks forward to feeding time, devours the food and leaves nothing behind. Stool volume is way down, no more fillers or things that are only detrimental, just like nature intended. Also noticed a huge improvement in the breath department, along with no issues with poop time or loose stools. Skin is improving, nibbling and paw chewing is declining. All the noted benefits of the food is coming into fruition and I hope it continues. My Dog loves Ziwi Peak and also the Ziwi Peak treats. The cost is high, but when you weigh out the positives and vet visits you may avoid due to feeding it along with having a happy healthy Dog, it's a small price to pay. Also as noted by Ziwi Peak, the portion sizes are smaller than what's typical of foods containing loads of fillers and carbs, and believe it or not the recommended daily feeding size quite adequately satisfies my Dog's hunger and also the included measuring cup in each bag is a nice touch. I also have to commend Ziwi Peak's Customer Service, I received one bag that had a different smell than what I was use to, was concerned though there was nothing probably wrong with it, appears a tear or wasn't properly sealed. After contacting Ziwi Peak via e-mail, I got a response in a less than 1 hour from the Co-Founder of the company, who offered to send a replacement bag, when it arrived not only did they replace the bag, but they also included a free bag of Ziwi Peak Venison Treats which made my Dog very happy. So I would rate their Customer Service #1, which matches the quality of the food as well.

We were introduced to this through our first dog's trainer during obedience work. It's marketed as a complete air-dried food, not a treat, but the second we saw how hard our dog worked for a single piece of this, we knew it had earned a promotion to high value treat status in our house. Turns out we're not the only ones doing this. We read reviews on it prior to purchasing. It's air-dried food that's technically meant to be a full meal or topper ends up getting repurposed by owners as a premium training reward because the smell and taste get such a strong reaction out of dogs. We also saw how many people said that their dog goes wild for this, some even comparing the excitement level to a genuine addiction. The formula itself checks out too. Ziwi Peak uses a high percentage of real meat, organs, and bone with minimal fillers, which likely explains why the smell alone is enough to get most dogs fully locked in. The price is the one real catch, and it's a steep one. This is consistently one of the pricier options out there. But since we only use it sparingly as a jackpot reward rather than a daily food, the cost has never been a dealbreaker for us. Bottom line: Overkill and pricey if you're trying to use it as an everyday food or treat, but it's an excellent high value reward for training sessions or moments when you need serious focus from your dog. A little goes a long way.

My dog LOVES this!!! It's expensive, so I use it for treats, but my dog will do ANYTHING for this stuff!!!

This is just the kind of food my bougie dog needed. I have a pomsky that has always been super snobby, I mean, picky, about her food. I saw this food in a local store, and after reading the reviews here on Amazon, I ordered a bag. From the smell alone, she was already excited to get her dinner. She gobbled it up so quick. Because the price point is a little high, we always do a half scoop of this food, then another half scoop of some other kibble on top of it. More often than not, my pup will sort out the other kibble and only eat this food. She is now consistently eating her breakfast and dinner every day, rather than choosing to skip meals because she isn't into the food. I like that the food is mostly meat and not full of fillers. And the fact that my dog loves it so much tells me it's a high-quality, tasty food. I've been a repeat buyer of this brand, and all the flavors are a hit with my picky eater.

Expensive and gives my dogs stinky gas if I feed too much, but they go crazy for it and the ingredients are solid. I use it as a treat or topper since it's so expensive. For those looking for a great brand of dog food that's super high quality but not outrageously priced, I've done a ton of research and now use and love Simple Food Project.

After doing tons of research on which healthy treats are great for dogs (specifically my puppy) I came across these and plan on continuing to buy them. My pup absolutely loves them (which is great for engagement training) and is glued to me as soon as he knows he may get some. Great ingredients and the treats don't crumble, but you can still break them down to use as a topper on kibble or other food. Highly recommend!

My malshi loves this food - he is being a little piggy and finishes all of it and wants more. I was giving him hamburg and sweet potato and he prefers this. Very expensive.

Product is good. But Amazon's thin package makes it product powdery during the shipping. Can you go back to send them in the box? Otherwise thinking to change to Chewy or Baxter Boo.

ミニチュアダックス(8ヶ月 女の子)です。 かなりの偏食でどのフードも食べ残す程。 ほとほと困っていた時にZIWIを試してみようと購入しました。 結果、某高級パピー用のフードに5gをトッピングとして混ぜるだけで毎回完食です！ よほど美味しいのか、食べ終わった後も「欲しい欲しい」と催促する程です。 匂いもThe肉。という感じで美味しいのでしょう。 お値段は少々高いですが、家族にとっては一生の食べ物。気に入って美味しく食べてくれるなら、それが一番良いです！

My little Charlie goes crazy for Ziwi Peak. He’d sell his soul for this. He absolutely loves it.

Our jack russel is a very picky eater who only likes things that could be described as "premium". This certainly ticks that box. He also has a sensitive stomach and this has never, in the six or so years we have been feeding this to him, caused his stomach to become upset. The price may be high, but the quality absolutely matches it. I do not think there is a product marketed as dog food closer to beef jerky than this. It actually smells pretty good when I open up the bag to be fair. I haven't tried, but in a starvation situation I wouldn't be scared to. This product is rare in a sense because you can always find it wherever you go. The formula is the same everywhere you go in the world, as we have gotten the same product in Germany, Japan, and the US as well.

ware ok

Unsere Jack-Russel mögen dieses Futter sehr, wir mischen es mit einem anderen Trockenfutter, damit wir unsere Hunde nicht zu Feinschmecker erziehen :-) Die ZiwiPeak Schnipsel sind immer am ersten weg, das sagt doch alles !
