ZIWI Peak Air-Dried Dog Food – Beef - All Natural, High Protein, Grain Free, Limited Ingredient w/ Superfoods (140.8oz)

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.

excellent quality, and Amazon delivered lightening fast.

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.

I used to think the air dried ones were a little too hard but after trying their oven baked kibble, my doggos didn’t like it so I’m back to the air dried ones. This is the purest brand on the market, none comes up to its quality, no matter which way they label it. I sure wish it was cheaper cause I have five Chihuahuas

My pit bull and frenchie LOVE these!! I add it to their food for a soft texture but I use them mostly as training treats. My super food motivated Frenchie goes nuts for these. Definitely love the ingredients and I have had zero issues with their bellies. They’re easy to break apart into smaller pieces but they’re small enough to use as high protein treats. They love the taste/smell of them for sure.

There are a few reasons why I really like this food. The high protein content is fantastic, and it's great to find a product with limited ingredients. It's suitable for all life stages, which makes it a versatile choice. However, the texture of the food could be improved. Also, it would be nice to see a wider variety of protein sources. Despite these minor issues, it's been a positive experience overall.

My two chi mixes love these, natural flavor, taste, size. I use as a topper too, and even a treat. I am not able to buy regularly due to my budget.

DO NOT ORDER THIS! I have ordered Ziwi from here FOREVER and it has always looked and smelled fresh. This recent order ALMOST KILLED MY DOG. It looked hard and was not the same fresh food formula AT ALL. I should have known!! I figured maybe they just updated the formula. He immediately became extremely lethargic and not himself. His breath developed a metallic taste IMMEDIATELY! I was wondering what was happening and then I realized IT'S THE FOOD! HIS KIDNEYS WERE GOING INTO FAILURE FROM THIS FOOD! Whatever protein / formula change they did is UNSAFE FOR ANIMALS. The onset was immediate but I didn't make the connection for a couple of days. As soon as I stopped this morning (after a night of sleep and fasting) I gave him different food and his breath started to change back to normal and he had the energy to go for a walk!!! I was worried sick with his breath and behavioral change! I'm hoping by the end of the day his breath is back to normal with no more HORRIBLE metal smell. VERY sad and disappointed because Ziwi was my favorite pet food and my dog loved it for years. Not a legit retailer on amazon anymore. Or if they changed the formula they need to change it back because this is going to literally kill animals. I never write reviews. Whatever "new" product this is it's not safe for animal consumption!

Great quality food but way too expensive. What I do with these is use them as treats instead. These make for cheaper treats than most but are well balance and very healthy for your dog. My very very picky dog likes them and I feel better about giving him extra treats when this is technically food.

食べムラあり、好き嫌いありの2匹です。 もう1年くらいこちらをちゃんと食べてますが、あと数種類のご飯を様子見て朝晩、とか3日おきとか食べ具合を見てサイクルを変えて上げています。 味はビーフとラム(2.5キロ入り)を交互に、時々サーモン(500gぐらいのやつ) あとはK○のビーフとラムにグリーントライプのローテーションです。 食べないと心配になってしまい、病院に連れて行っても元気で異常なしで、自分にもストレスかかるので食べてくれる物だけ厳選してます。 どれもカロリー高めではあるので、本当に要らないときは犬達は自分で調節してるようで3分の1程度残す時もありますが、元気なので気にならなくなりました。 色々試してみましたが上記以外の高価なものでもダメでした（泣） 食べなかったら片付けるとかの良いと言われる事もしましたが効果なし。散歩は毎日1時間＋家の中での激しいワンプロ＆追いかけっこ、庭も走らせますが無駄。 無駄に飼い主がヘトヘトに(笑) もう1年くらい経ちますが食べてますし、フードジプシーやめれたのでヨシとしてます。 更に近々パピーが来ます。 いずれ破産するかもね(笑) それでも犬達には食べてもらいますが。

普段、ドッグフードを食べてくれないのですが、こちらは食べてくれてます。 少しだけ温めてあげると匂いが香ばしくなるので食いつきが良くなります。

食の細い3キロ弱のトイプーですがこれはよく食べてくれます。決してお安くはないですが、今まであれこれ封を切って飽きさせないように交互に出したりして試していました。ほとんど毎日食べ残しで捨てていたので無駄がなくなり結果コスパはよくなりました。 公園などで遊んだあと外でおやつとしてあげてもよく食べます。もしかしたら…食が細いのではなく添加物等に人間以上に敏感なのかな？なんて最近は思っています。 そういえば、私が食べているオーガニックのほうれん草や白菜、大根、ブロッコリーなど大好きですし、オリーブやひましオイルを身体にオイル塗ったり、コーヒーにココナッツオイルを入れているとよってきてよく舐めます。 ワンコは本来自然派なんですかね？

Excellent quality dog food and makes me feel so good feeding it to her. My sweet old dog is the most picky eater ever and despite having tried raw and every dog food out there this is the first one that she really seems consistently to enjoy. I feel so good knowing I’m feeding her good food.
