ZIWI Peak Air-Dried Dog Food, Mackerel & Lamb, Grain-Free, 2.2 lb

I wholeheartedly believe a raw diet is the best diet for dogs but found that it was very time consuming to prepare my dogs food myself and I constantly feared I was missing vital nutrients, vitamins or minerals. I purchased this food for convenience for the pet sitter when I went on vacation. My dogs loved it! I have now consistently been feeding it for several years now and my dogs are happy and at peak health. I find it best to figure out the calories your dog needs, they have an easy calculator, and weigh the food out rather than using a measuring cup. For my 70 pound, lazy dog, she gets 3.8 ounces of the chicken flavor in the morning and 4.2 ounces of the mackerel and lamb at night to meet her calorie needs. Weighing the food is best due to the way the food is made, you can have inconsistent sizes of food which will fill the cup differently. Some complain that this food is overpriced. Once you calculate your dog’s caloric needs, this food becomes more cost effective, especially compared to other high quality, pre-prepared, raw diet foods. It is also more convenient. Some complain that there are crumbles and powder in their bags. It is important to remember that this is an all natural food meaning there are no fillers such as starches. Starches are what make other foods firm and crunchy. So yes, you can expect some crumbles, sometimes more than others depending on the handling of the bags. However, the crumbles and powder are not wasted!! They are still high nutrient food. Don’t throw them away. My dogs happily licks them up from the bowl. This is another reason it’s best to weigh the food. My somewhat complaint. I’m not going to lie, the food kind of stinks, but it’s a raw diet so that is to be expected it’s just one of the downfalls. The chicken flavor isn’t bad, but the mackerel & lamb? Well, it’s fish and lamb so it shouldn’t be surprising. What is surprising, is that it doesn’t linger on my dogs breath. My complaint. They recently changed their packaging and I am not a fan. The bags used to have strong handles at the tops of the bags, they sealed back up easily and they had a perfect size scoop in them. Now there are no handles, no scoop, and sometimes I have to work the ziplock type seal. Hands down, will continue to feed and recommend this food!

I regularly bought Ziwi from various pet stores online & in person when on sale since it's very pricey. This is the first time I've purchased it from Amazon & I was pleasantly surprised to see the expiration date was for over 1 year when it arrived today😀 I'm guessing this is a fresh batch because most places do not have the 8.8lb Mackerel in stock. FYI it does smell like fish which you'd expect. I use it as a healthy training treat when my dogs were puppies and they eat about 2.5 scoops a day total between consuming it as treats & dinner. My dogs are 50 & 70lbs Nordic breed. I volunteer for rescue and have not had a sled dog breed that hasn't loved it with no digestive problems. They have all transitioned to it well. The food is very rich high protein so I would not feed it solely. My dogs do well with 50% Ziwi+50% fresh made.

My little girl loves this food, but I would not buy that canned food. She will not eat it. That was a waste of my hard earned money.

The only dog food that my dog eats. All others have caused allergic reactions. It’s a bit expensive but it’s for my buddy I want around as long as possible

I love this food for my dog. She’s very athletic and it really suits her well however it seems to have gotten more expensive and I just looked on chewy and they have free delivery with subscription for $123. Can you write that subscription price? I tried to look for a way to contact the seller and couldn’t find it. I would’ve preferred not to have written this in a review but to have discussed it directly with you.

I have been happy with Ziwi for many years but on my last order I think I may have received a bad batch. For about a month my dog had diarrhea and then blood in his stool. I took him to the vet and tested him for parasites, giardia, etc and everything came negative. they gave me gastroenteric wet dog food to give to him for a couple weeks and his stool went back to normal. So I started giving him Ziwi again and the diarrhea started again. I did some research and learned that Ziwi was sold to a Chinese Private Equity in 2022. As private equities companies always figure out how to maximize profits for short term gains, I'm curious if the quality control is now compromised. Unfortunate, because they have doubled prices over the last few years and now I don't trust what is going in my dogs food.

I took one star off because we didn’t receive a scooper. We will see if my pup can tolerate this as her main diet. We had to stop giving kibble as she’s allergic to yeast products. Most kibble has yeast in it or ingredients that may increase yeast production in the body. I love this is such high % of protein. She has a lot of wounds healing and this will definitely help her. I’ve been making her homemade diet and that also is expensive. I like this is ready to use, and the taste and freshness seems to be A+. I bought this years ago for treats for her. I had stopped because I thought she was allergic. After receiving pathology and allergy testing results it seems she is severely allergic to yeast and fungi. Both that can be found in kibble, bigger bag you buy the more chance the food will spoil before your pup eats it. I did purchase 8.8 lbs as it is cheaper to invest in more at a time. Given she’s 66 lbs we will go through this fast… hopefully I can get this to stretch for at least 20-21 days at $199.99 a bag. Worth it for her getting healthy! I’ll post a later update for when she’s all healed and hopefully still on this food! Stay tune!

This is a repeat purchase for us. My dog has poultry allergies, so I’m always looking for good alternative protein options, and this mackerel and lamb formula is perfect. It’s high in protein, easy to digest, and he absolutely loves the taste. I also use the pieces as training treats—they’re healthy and convenient. Excellent quality as always from ZIWI.

Dogs and cats love this stuff and it’s good for them. We sprinkle it on their other food to make it last.

Es riecht ein wenig nach Fisch, wird aber heiß geliebt wie alles von ZiwiPeak.

Wir kaufen tendenziell teures Hundefutter. Unser Labrador verträgt viele Inhaltsstoffe nicht und hat abgenommen. Zum Gewicht zulegen habe ich jetzt dieses Futter mit Makrelen gekauft. Er liebt es!

carissimo e ha fatto male al mio cane

Mi perrita mix de labrador de 8 meses perdió a su mamá y hermana la misma semana hace dos meses y batallamos con su alimentación, de la depresión dejó de comer carne, pescado, todo lo que le dieras y esta opción nos ayuda en los días donde no quiere ni premios de carne seca o higados. Además de orar por ella, encontramos esta opción súper nutritiva, los pedacitos son duros entonces parecen premios y con poco (unos 4 puños) ya tiene casi todo lo que necesita para su día, aunque en la noche ya es más facil que cene eso mezclado con su pollo orgánico. Es vital darles proteínas puras. Si es caro pero no me puedo arriesgar a darle algo menos nutritivo y mas con el calor de 33 grados que tenemos ahora, que aparte les quita el apetito.
