Ziwi Peak Steam & Dried Cat Food – Wild South Pacific Fish - High Protein, Sk...

I'm very satisfied with the results from switching from Hills Adult Indoor forumla, to Rachel Ray's Nutrish, to now this. My 10 year old girl is an extremely picky eater. I've tried switching her to wet food and raw food to no avail. She is a kibble junkie. She loves seafood flavors: salmon and tuna are favorites. I was so grateful to find that she took to this kibble within a few days of me introducing it. We tried the fish version and that's all we've done so far. Some days she would even prefer to finish all of this kind of kibble, as opposed to her previous Rachel Ray brand, yay! To me, it's worth the overpowering scent, if it means my cat will like something that's healthier for her. I feed my dog a homemade raw diet that I formulate at home with spreadsheets and calculate exact ratios. I wish I could do the same but it was just getting so exhausting trying to convince my cat to eat something healthy for her. So I caved to the high price point and bought a premium brand kibble. She used to shed like crazy super bad. It wasn't always her whole life but ever since she turned like 9 it's just skyrocketed. Now after 2 solid months using this, her shedding has gone way down. I don't get a handful of loose fur every time I try to pet her, and it's stopped being in all my food. Basically, it's gone back to a normal level that she had in her youth, which I thank the inclusion of the omega threes and fish in the recipe for that. She's also struggled with crusty build up in the corner of her eyes, and to me, it seems like that has reduced since the switch to this brand. My spouse hates the smell and I think it smells like fish food, but that's kind of appealing to me rather than absolutely revolting. But it is a very overpowering scent, every time you open the bag. My spouse also claims that it makes her #2 smell horrible, but I don't think they smell any worse than they did before. And if anything, that's just more motivating for me to keep her box regularly cleaned lol. But it is quite the unbearable stink bomb if you're nearby when she drops it. 🤢 Because she is older and very inactive, but has very good self regulation regarding food and hunger cues, she's not overweight. She's at a healthy 7.5 lbs, and she eats probably around 1/3 cup per day of this kibble, so the 1.9 lb bag workd out for us to buy once a month, so our cost is usually $35/mo (lately been able to find it for $28, yay). She loves it and I love it. And it's worth the price to me to know it's so much better for her health. And it's ingredients I pretty much all trust. The only thing I don't really like to see in the formula is the inclusion of legumes, so I hope it doesnt heavily rely on those to contribute to the 40% protein since cats are obligate carnivores. But because the formula includes plenty of taurine, I'm not too worried about it actively creating harm, her body just might not be absorbing as much protein out of it as the label suggests. While I would love to feed her raw in a perfect world, I'm happy with this for now. (2nd image showing her lack of crusty eyes)

The quality and health benefits far outweigh the price. By feeding top quality food, you'll prevent vet visits. My Eva was scatching her ears with np sign of ear mites, so it had to be allergies. I switched her to Ziwi, and three weeks later, no more scratching! She loves it so much I use it for treats. Pleasant smell, like the beach, and small pellets that make it easy to eat.

My 6 year old kitty loves these. His fur gets better, softer. They are expensive so I decided just to add done pieces to his regular food or as a treat. If they were less expensive I’d buy as a usual meal!!

The Ziwi Peak steam and dried South Pacific Fish recipe is an amazing cat food. The label mentions that it is made from 87% animal ingredients. The color is dark and it smells strongly of fish. My cats go crazy for these small little bites of cat food. Compared to other brands, it’s definitely crunchier, and the size is perfect. It’s so healthy and looks better than most cat food on the market today. It’s a great value for the price and easy to serve to your cat, as a meal or as a treat. It’s definitely our new go-to dried cat food.

Cats really like it. Smells like a fish factory, very strong fish smell. Comes all the way from New Zealand. It's expensive but good.

Been ordering ever since i got my baby. They are doing great coat poop smell activity everything. Sometimes bad batch would give them a bit of poopy pants but mostly great. Babies love the food

AFTER DOING SEVERAL "MONTHS " OF RESEARCH ON SEVERAL TOXIC INGREDIENTS THAT KEPT APPEARING IN THE MAJORITY OF DRY CAT AND DOG FOODS AND THEN FINDING 2 INGREDIENTS OF GREAT CONCERN IN MOST PATE CAT FOODS, I CONTEMPLATED GOING TO A RAW DIET AFTER DETOXING MY CAT, ASH WHICH TOOK OVER 1 MONTH! I INVESTIGATED SOURCES OF RAW MEAT SUITABLE AND RECOMMENDED IF YOU WERE TRANSITIONING BUT THE COST FACTOR INVOLVED WAS A LITTLE TOO COSTLY ESPECIALLY IF HE DIDN'T LIKE IT. THEN I FOUND ZIWI WET "Lamb and Mackerel" AND ZIWI DRY "Wild Pacific South Recipe" AND AFTER 2 WEEKS HE TRANSITIONED TO BOTH BEAUTIFULLY ( ASH, MY LARGE CAT IS A RESCUE AND HAD EXTENSIVE WORK ON HIS MOUTH BEFORE I ADOPTED HIM WHICH POSES A PROBLEM WITH A SMALL KIBBLE WITH ANY DRY FOOD AND HE WILL ONLY EAT A PATE CAT VARIETY.) THE SMALLER KIBBLE ON THE ZIWI DRY FOOD DOES PRESENT A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM BUT HE DOESN'T SEEM TO ITCH HIS SKIN AS MUCH AS WITH ANOTHER BRAND OF RAW, HE ENJOYS ZIWI AND THE INGREDIENTS ARE AS CLOSE TO RAW AS I CAN GET WITHOUT ALL THE FUSS. THIS FAMILY OF CAT FOODS, USING BOTH THE WET AND DRY OPTIONS FREED ME OF THE WORRY WAS I AIDING TO HIS HEALTH FAILURE BY FEEDING HIM FOOD CONTAINING THOSE COMMON TOXIC POISONS. SO GLAD I FOUND ZIWI AFTER MONTHS OF RESEARCH AND TRIAL & ERROR. MY CAT AT TEN YEARS OF AGE IS THRIVING AND ACTUALLY IS MORE RELAXED AND SWEETER, AS IF THAT COULD ACTUALLY BE POSSIBLE. KUDOS TO THIS COMPANY AND A PERFECT 10 STARS FOR MY RESULTS USING THIS FOOD DAILY!

This is a raw food, steamed product that contains chicken, chicken fat, and egg white (Pacific Fish Variety). While recently transitioning one of my cats, he got very sick rapidly: leathery,105.1 F fever, change in appetite, dehydration, muscle twitching, sneezing, difficulty breathing. We rushed him to the vet for medication and fluids and thankfully he is young/healthy and on the mend now. Please be aware that these are symptoms of H5N1 or bird flu. We didn't test for this because it's difficult, few labs perform it. Bird flu is often fatal in cats, so if he had it the viral load would have been small. Either way he is my only cat to eat this and my only cat to get sick. Admittedly this seems like a great product for the ingredients but please be cautious.

My oriental cat loves this food he is given a small amount as I lunchtime snack. He is fed Katkin meat in the morning and evening. His coat is sleek and glossy and his teeth are pearly white. He is an indoor cat so uses a litter tray, when feeding a high quality diet no smelly poo. He is two half years old and has always been fed high quality food. Yes it's expensive compared to others on the market but most are full of cereals and filler which are not good for cats health.

My cat really loves this food. The ingredients are high quality and it smells fresh. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a more natural diet. I also noticed my cat’s coat looks healthier.

My cat has a bowel disorder disease and this is the only cat food that helped her symptoms. She loves it and doesn't vomit like before. Highly recommended

Normal and expensive

When it comes to food for your pet, please never try to save as much as you can. With that being said, I love to splurge on extremely high quality food for my princess cat so she can have all the nutrients she needs in order to be healthy. This brand is a little pricey but the ingredients are amazing, I'd rather spend more on cat food and get my cat the best out there, rather then saving up and give her cheap stuff just to make trips to the vet in the future. My cat likes it a lot!
